1500pt Tournament Incoming

[maverick351c]

Got a 1500 pt Tournament coming up and wanted to get some feedback on a list i created. I am trying to get a good overall balance and still be a decent threat to heavily armored armies.

HQ: Hive Tyrant --270pt
-Twin-Link Devourers
-Hive Commander
-Wings

Elites: 2 Zoanthropes --120pt

-2 Zoanthropes --120pt

-3 Hive Guard --150pt

Troops: Tervigon --220pt
-Crushing Claws
-Adrenal Glands
-Toxin Sacs

-(20) Devilgaunts --200pt

Fast Attack: (15) Gargoyles --90pt

-(15) Gargoyles --90pt

Heavy Support: Trygon Prime -- 240pt

Total: 1500pt

Few thoughts;

With this list, why Hive Commander? Unless you plan on DSing the Gargoyles (strange), only the Trygon could benefit from it. As for Outflanking, you only have 2 troop units. Outflanking half your total troops is a very dangerous gamble.

20 Devilgants footsloggin it? That is just beggin for some blasts that will cost you dearly.

What are your Zoans for? Support or Offense? If offense, they should be in Pods.


What is your overall plan with this list?

I'd probably lose one of the zoanthrope units, remove a few devilgants, give them a mycetic spore, and spend what's left on a large unit of termagants. Two troop choices (albeit good ones) in 1500 points isn't enough. The opponent may just focus everything on your troops on T1 and, if they can take down the tervigon, you'll be in a bad situation for the rest of the game at that point.

You won't need the Trygon Prime for Synapse with that many brains all around. Drop that 40 points and get an additional Devourer on the Flyrant, buy a third power for the Tervigon and save some points on the Devilgaunts for a Mycetic spore on either the devilgaunts or one unit of Zoanthrophes. Or even both. Then you have a reason to play Hive Commander. Shrieking Thropes, Devilgaunts AND a Trygon on turn 2 can be nasty for your opponent.

I am Reworking my list, but I was wondering, I planned on using my gargolyes like termigaunts as a cover screen for my army due to their very spread out profile and/or as a shock infantry. Plus they have blinding venom. Or should I take termigaunts to have more troop choices?
