1500 Tourney List

[tanagra]

Got a tournament this saturday. Second tourney my local shop has hosted. Last one (last month), my 3 opponents were all space marines.

Had a ultramarine player who favored the aegis defense line with a squad of snipers and other regular firepower.

One Salamander player who enjoyed rolling out many metal boxes.

and another ultramarine player who used more elite squads like terminators.


I had 2 draws and a lose that time.

Hopefully i'll do better this time with the following list.


HQ:
Flyrant; wings, TL-Devourers x2, Hive Commander, Old adversary

ELITE:
DoM; Spore Pod
Hive Guard x2
Ymgarl Genestealers x6

TROOPS:
Termagants x10
Tervigon; AG, TS
Genestealers x8; Toxin Sac, Spore Pod
Genestealers x8; Toxin Sac, Spore Pod

HEAVY:
Trygon; Prime

1500 points exactly.

All pod units, the trygon and the ymgarls start in reservers (5 outa 9 squads covers the half squad rounded-up rule I believe)

Flyrant is gonna dart around and stay as much outa trouble as possible until reserves come in, while the Terv, terms and hive guards stay in cover as much as possible while trying to move up.

With any luck, the majority of my reserves will come in turn 2, giving my opponents too many targets to focus on.

Flyrant and Tervigon are going to roll on Biomancy while the DoM is taking the Psychic Shriek primus power.



Critiques are fully welcome.

I'm not sure I like the stealers in a spore. With their included advanced deployment options I'm not sure it's worth the 80 points. You can infiltrate them up in cover and, staying out of synapse, go to ground to keep them durable until they're ready for a turn 2 charge. They could also outflank.

If you drop one or more of the stealer spores you could give your Terv some extra powers for more rolls on Biomancy so she has a better shot at the better powers.

I'm not sold on the Prime upgrade on the Trygon, but, if you're Deep Striking with him, it becomes more worthwhile. I have found walking him to be pretty effective, with him usually getting into combat turn 2 or 3, so potentially a turn earlier than when deep striking. He also 'causes more Turn 1 target priority problems for your opponent if he starts on the board.

For the flyrant, do you have a plan for who he will be near to buff with Old Adversary? I love the power but am not always convinced it's worth it on a lone flyrant since a lot of units won't be in position to benefit.

Great list good luck getting the sellers in . If u can course ur opponent to focus on other things your on for a winner . I would recommend at some point try to run 2 flying HT's as it does make a massive difference . But good luck and thanks for watch my Tyranid vids.
