flyrant list for 750

[ammohog]

So have to change my list for a 750 tourney last time I took my swarmloard and got banned
The New list
2 flyrants tl devow lash whip bone sword regen
20 termigaunts flesh borer
20 hormiguants


Guants will be run is squads of 10
Both flyrants will roll on biomancy and start on the table

Question is ........is list list more or less cheese than running an uber HQ with swarmloard tyrant guard and a prime and assorted other guants for 750?

Plan is termies hold any rear objectives hormies advance and tyrants wreck things and yes I know synapse will be light in the backfield


Thoughts?

why did you get banned with the swarmlord? that's really weak. sounds like a lot of butthurt.

if they're crying cheese, you're bringing two flying MC at 750 points. they'll be howling, nay, screaming cheese after this. drop the bonesword/lashwhip as they're not needed and put the 2nd set of devourers on those puppies and make them suffer properly.

Was thinking bout that and was considering if the tyrant comes a crashing down I'd wanna make sure I'm striking first using the lashwhip plus I really like to vector strike with the fylrant and if you vector you only get to fire one weapon

Played a 750 tourney with a death star swarmlord 2 tyrant guards with lash wips and a prime and some misc other units I went undefeated and at the end the death star was ruled op and banned from further tourneys

tell them you're collecting their mancards. its' no worse than mephiston or abbadon at that points value. it's a standard unit, in a tournement, and dies to anything with missile launchers. they need to learn to deal.

also, lash whip doesn't mean you go first. it means they go at I1, which is likely what they tyrant will be going at because no one's going to let you catch them in the open. look at it this way: would you rather go at the same time, or would you rather have an additional 6 rerollable S6 attacks before you charge that you can precision shot with and take out anything that's a threat before you charge? tyrant is already AP2 from smash, and the ID from the boneswords will work half the time at best. if you absolutely must kill some multiwounders and y ou're not S8 already from iron arm, half your attacks for double S. 3 S10 AP2 attacks at a flyrants WS (with rerolls if you have OA) is already pretty nasty. bs/lw is not very good in this edition, unless for some reason you expect to be charging many units with power swords, in which case you're better off vector striking and just shooting them anyway.

If you really want screams of cheese take 2 catalyst Tervigons 2x termies and a dakka flyrant. The ability to pile up extra points via spawning in a low point game is way cheesier than a slow deathstar (at least against smart players).

Sounds like a complete gip being banned for that!
Can you post your swarmie list?

Cheers

Just use the 2x twin devourers, as already suggested. When they complain that you're over powered just tell them that they should start collecting 'Nids.

It seems really butthurt to complain about the swarmlord that much. Sucks that your community isn't up for a challenge!

Sure thing it was basic list

Swarmlord
2 tyrant guards with lash whips
Tyranin prime dual bone swords and regen
1 hive guard
2 termigaunt squads of 10 models each with fb
1 gargoyle unit of ten with toxin

There it is the uber death star of love for 750

Having read your previous post about them banning swarmie they deserve everything they get imo, crush them mercilessly!

Also, 2x Twin Linked devourers is the way forward.

When you show up for the tournament bring your Swarmlord model with a little customized sign that he holds between his sabres that reads "WHAT? YOU JELLY?" and have it sit on your sidelines. Would be even better if you put the baby's name right after "Jelly".

And cheese away until they ban half the Tyranid list. Then borrow a friend's BA or GK models and start getting them banned.

GK shall never be banned and can do no wrong so sayeth Mr Ward.......
