Let me know what y'all think

What is your plan with the Carnifexes and Trygon?

[hiveman75]

Planning on using the carnifexes more late game to charge higher profile targets with up to 6 wounds. The trygon is for diversion. I may take murderous size on him for one cp to make him a real killer but he is mainly to take the flak off of my genestealers and broodlord. I am playing a mini tourney with friends and i dont think they quite get how dangerous genestealers are

[hiveman75]

Im not great at using trygon's in all honesty but the model i have for it was beautifully painted by my gf ( i think each sycthe which have perfect blending took an hour) i just couldnt not have it on the table in a 2000 point game

[irondreddknight]

Maybe proxy the trygon as a second mawloc for turn 2 and 3 shenanigans?

What's going in the Tyrannocite? Maybe switch it to the kronos detachment and deep strike the exocrine.
while im on the subject of the Tyrannocite, i run mine either with death spitters to keep cost down, or i take barbed stranglers for thw +1 to hit against blobs. Helps mitigate the 5+BS.


With the load put youve given the carnifexs, would screamer killers be a better choice? They should at least be taking spore cysts, the -1 to hit is invaluable.

Finally, swarm lord should always take onslaught so that he can move twice and charge. Ideally he should aslso take catalyst, the 5+++ comes in clutch when he's inevitably targeted.


Maybe not, just throwing ideas around
