My plan is to basically get into CC on turn 2, then my Tervigons will hold any objectives with the help of the Termagants and my Flyrants will thin out the enemy troops and hopefully glance any flyers. Is there really any need for the Doom against Necrons with their Ld 10?

Thanks a lot everyone, this website is really really good.

that LD test is taken on 3d6; you'll get them alittle less than half the time. just make sure it's near multiple units. good list.

Also make sure you're using Catalyst, not Cataclysm on your tervigons I think Doom could be useful...just be wary of a-barges and anything with the annoying AV 13 ability they have. They'll probably be tasty targets for a warp lance or 2...

With 2 units of Ygmarls, a DoM, a unit of Zoanthropes, and a unit of Hive guard you have 5 elite units while according to the Force organization you can only have up to 3. Unless there is some rule Im missing or your opponent agreed to change the chart for the game, this list isnt legal with that many elites.

2k, double force org.

Unless you're new, I fear for your understanding of the rules. The force ORGANISATION chart doubles from 1000 points to 2000 points.

Dude, calm down. He spelled it the American way...

Looks solid. Biovores would be a good choice too, due to the AP4 deliciousness.

Doom is actually really good vs crons, since they don't have many s8+ shots. 3d6 is rough even on ld10. That's a straight 50% chance to fail. Ask crons how good MSS are.

You have the right idea (get them in combat asap), but you might benefit from more bodies. Your flyrants and tervigons will eat a ton of fire before your reserves come in. Unless you have favorable LoS blocking terrain, I could see you hurting really bad after turn 1.

The game I played was Tyranids and Dark Eldar against Necrons and CSM. I didn't really take a lot of casualties in the first turn, my Flyrant was sadly killed before any flyers arrived, he died on the second turn which I knew was quite bad. It's a shame I took the Swarmlord instead of another Flyrant. Another mistake was that I didn't bring a Trygon, he would have been such a big help vs the relatively high armour saves. I'll probobly get rid of one of the Ymgarl units, maybe the other one as well and take Gargoyles and Hormagaunts instead.

[gigasnail]

getting rid of ygmrls is generally a mistake, especially if you're thinkign of replacing them with hormagants...

[killme304]

Ymgarls are way better than hormies.

As a cron player, my lists would all have trouble versus swarmier lists. Its not hard for crons to focus down something big, but they have troubles with tons of bodies. MCs lose hard to MSS, you will need bodies to deal with that. Hell, rippers are better at combat than anything without a CC weapon in crons.
