So i have been playing the same list for almost a year, and winning basically every tournament i have gone to, although i've only been to one after the new marines dropped. I also played it at the ETC this year and i just thought it was time to post it in its latest form since i am going to a tournament this weekend
Gsc battalion (pauper princes) Deliverence broodsurge
Hq Iconward, field commander Primus, 9" bubble, reliquary of st tenndark (fearless+punch when killed)
Troops 20x acolytes 4 saws 20x acolytes 20x acolytes 20x acolytes
Elite Clamavus Nexos
Gsc battalion (mixed) Patriarch warlord (pauper, 2+ los, crouchling) Magnus (4 armed emp, +d3 cp)
3x10 brood Brothers
Tyranid battalion kraken Swarmlord Broodlord
2x18 stealers 3x rippers.
New things is dropping all the handflamers and the kellermorph + demobikes for some saws and another 20 acolytes. Flamers are bad in a marine meta and the kellermorph is not worth the pricehike. I just wanted to drop this and i'll get back to you guys after the weekend if i managed to perform

Playing massed aco spam as well, I've got to ask: why pauper over FAE? Fight on death seems pretty bad for 4+ and needing combat, and another fearless bubble/2+ UL are nice, but don't help if you can't kill stuff and die.

I save 40p for not needing the banners, thats 5 more dudes, also they fight better outside of primus, and they fight better against negative modifiers

Good luck! Which tournament are you going to? Anything from the new bag of tricks that looks interesting for the nid battallion? Resonance Barb on the Broodlord, Unnatural Reaction on the Genestealers seems like interesting tools. 2D6" consolidate also looks nice on Stealers.

So, Home from the tournament, did not go my way, finished 4-1 and a 6th out of 54 or something. Won against 2x IH, mechanicus and custodes. Lost against a super agressive white scar list which was tooled against me specifically. Marines have kinda invalidated my list and i am going to find something New.

You think there's some answers in the GSC codex? Not long until GSC get their own psychic awakening, maybe there will be something.

Well played Kalle and it sorry for not winning. The whit scar list was a special one, do you think you could have handled the other centurions and dreadnought ones better? With the amount of TFC’s around I suppose dropping in to charge even with the nid-part seems tempting.

I would swap one tyrant for neurothrope not to risk losing all synaps. Thinking about the custom trait with a reroll to hit? With all those venomcannons its a lot of good rerolls...

The tyranids did not get enough to carry a list against marines, i am currently looking Into a different solution to first round board presence then my stealers, i'll try out a few things and then i'll let you guys know Thanks for the playtest and short write up man. I think onboard presence is our hardest list build consideration - gotta clear scouts, gotta survive Fliers, WS supercharge, RG Infil charge, and TFCs. If we can survive that, then there's a game to be had. I'm stuck on SL + 90 Hormas + HG for this, since this combo does nto care about double TFC, has the bodies to absorb the Fliers, the HG survives full army shooting into it, you have HG double shoot and 1-2 Horma units to 1st turn scout clear. HG and SL share the key terrain LOS blocker, the Hormas can spread everywhere else to deny Flier access. I haven't theorycrafted with GSC accompaniment yet but I had originally intended this to work with BC Laser Drop if my Flyrants don't pan out - by extension it should work for Acolytes as well. What do you think?

Same list, new thoughts. Going to a 120 man ITC this weekend, i do not think i'll go 5-0, but 4-1 should be quite doable with this. The fex is there if i am facing some decent screens, deathleaper is a designated postman if i can't find any other good secondaries, if i do, he Will simply be used to deny overwatch.
