2k kraken/kronos

[buzz]

Been a while since I've played a match. Downloading tabletop simulator to feed the urge.

This list is trying to take as much advantage of krakens fall back and charge. I'm hoping to be semi competitive (get to t3)

c+c please, this seems very weak compared to my iron hands list...but its the best I can do

>edits came from some noodling, I cant think of many responses to strong lists

Ditch the tervigons and the harpy they are not a choice if you wanna be competitive. Competutive units are swarmlord+stealers,hive guard, exocrine, tfex with acid spray, warriors with deathspitters, ripper swarms, flyrant with double devs or devs+rending claws, hordes of termagants and/or 1 unit of 30 devilgants, malanthrope, maleceptor simply for the strat on t1 and other clutch turns, biovores, fexs tho many of them not just 1 and all have to have either devs or spitters+venom cannon, OOE, gargoyles in certain lists just to bog shooting units in combat t1 via opportunistic advance+onslaught as kraken, raveners if youre using jormungandr, neurothropes and zoanthropes in units of 4/5 each as leviathan to get 3++/6+++(smite factories, and can charge units and tie them up for really long, also, synapse. Ive had 3 units of 5 deal 18+ wounds to a knight. Get reroll 1s from neuro and increasing chance of getting an 11+ for d6+d3 and 1 can also cast psy scream as a bonus.)

Yeah seems a bit mismatched. Why 2 Tervigons, yet only taking 55 gaunts? Tervigons can only make up their points back if they are spawning more gaunts so I'd only ever consider them with 90+ gaunts, otherwise there is much better HQ choices like Nuerothropes, and Broodlords even if you dont take genestealers. But really if you are Kraken, why not take Genestealers and Swarmlord. 32" + charge threat range is crazy fast.
