fast attack choices

[wallerl2896]

Hi everyone,
Been spending some time thinking which fast attack choice is better both points wise and also as a support for my trygon prime,
I mostly play against a dark elder or works list
Any suggestions would be really helpful

Gargoyles in large blobs are obnoxious for DE. They can glance their vehicles with the fleshborers or glance them in assault (with swarmlord's help or AG). They are a waste to shoot with splinter cannon fire because of the diminished effectiveness of 4+ poison on them compared to a marine or higher toughness. Also, they can hold down DE on foot pretty well for a few turns till something can really mow them down. This is especially handy for stuff like grotesques and other deadly units. I run with a group of 25-30 at 1000-1500 points and they usually do everything I expect out of them. With the synapse help from a deepstriking trygon that will probably work out nicely as they are both speedy.

Super Sky Slashers as guard for the Parasite of Mortrex

A full sized sky slasher brood can be really deadly, not only is the TL shooting a pain, but in assault, they're really fun with lots of rerolls Vs DE since they're T3 add in the Parasite making more babies, and boom!...Magic

Haha, blindmage and his rippers.

Generally, yeah, I would have to echo swarmy. Gargoyles are cheap and effective, and the bigger the blob the better. They take up a lot of space, so are effective at board control and screening and generally tying down several things. Their blinding venom is nice against Orks and their sheer numbers are annoying for DE. DE shooting is hellish on MCs, but when you swarm them with T3, it's less effective and, to some degree, they run out of shots if you mob them enough. At 6 points, a big blob of gargs can screen, hem in their fast transports, glance them to death and either kill or tarpit something nasty with their numbers.
