Refining my 1750 list ...

[bebe]

I've been pretty busy trying to refine my 1750 list to be competitive in today's meta. I had been playing dual Flyrants, Dual Tervigons. I decided to drop a Tervigon ( heresy I know), drop a Flyrant (in a flyer meta, crazy right) and add Swarmie and Gargoyles.


* Hive Tyrant (260pts)
Leech Essence, Paroxysm, 2x Twin-linked Devourers with Brainleech Worms Wings

* Swarmlord (280pts)

* 3x Hive Guard Brood (150pts)

* The Doom of Malan'tai (130pts)
* Mycetic Spore

* 3x Zoanthrope Brood (180pts)

* 20x Hormagant Brood (160pts)
Toxin Sacs

* 17x Termagant Brood (85pts)
Fleshborers

* Tervigon (175pts)
Cluster Spines, Catalyst

* 30x Gargoyle Brood (240pts)
Toxin Sacs, Adrenal Glands

* 2x Biovore Brood (90pts)

**1750**

The MVP of the list in the five games I tested it wee the Hormagants ... no kidding. They destroyed more units then any other squad. Dom is sometimes great sometimes meh. Zoanthropes with telekinisis are wonderful.

Everything else is pretty self explanatory. I' lost one game - not to Heldrakes, lol, but to a Nec/CSM list. Necrons can be tough but I also misplayed a few toimes in the game. Nids can beat them.

Definitely an interesting list. I only run one Terv as well, and currently don't really plan on running a second flyrant, but going for Swarmy instead. So, that said, I definitely like the list. I'm curious how you think the gargoyles are doing. I've only run 10 in smaller games so far, and in the first set of games (with more of a swarm list) they did ok; but my more recent games (1k with 3 MCs - Flyrant, Terv, Trygon) they gave up First Blood every time. In their defense, they were used as a screen and still survived to turn 2, I just failed to kill anything turn 1. So, that's a long winded way of explaining why I'm curious - I have 10 more, but I'm not sure I want them as a priority as I build toward my 2k list.

You need between 25-30 Of these guys. The loss of No Retreat, the new jump infantry rules and the new transport/glancing rules make them very versitile at a very affordable price. They will comfortably glance vehicles to death and their poison attacks will down troops easily. Ten are just too few.
