Unsure about a list concept.

[iniquity]

So I’ve been wanting to try warriors in TTS as I don’t own the unit and it’s quite an expensive one to get into.

The list concept is just about making the warriors tanky while having a gs sling with biovores to zone people.

I don’t know if it’s worth dropping some biovores to gain access to the spire field stratagem?

Played a game with this today and really enjoyed it. Was the first time i played with mass biovores, i actually really enjoyed trying to manipulate my opponent into moving where i wanted them to, i was actually surprised by just how much damage biovores can put out as well.

I feel it is not an all-comers list. Any Knight army, or mech heavy lists I think you will struggle with. While Biovores are great, they do not compare to Hive Guard or Exocrines which can kill a unit a turn on their own. Biovores are more about move blocking, but in a list packed with genestealers, you actually want the enemy to get closer. So I would drop a unit or 2 of Bio's in this detachment to include some better Kronos shooting. I also think you have spread too much across 3 hive fleets so the Kronos detachment is lacking in synapse. The warriors would also be better served as Kronos, so you can symbiostorm them, and spread the synapse across a larger area to keep the guns shooting without penalties.

I would recommend bone swords and the neuro should take the kronos spell.

[dc0315]

Always keep warriors leviathan, its the best trait for them as it keeps them alive that much more with the 6+++. If you want to play mass biovores to block movement, make them leviathan as kronos makes them more accurate and funnily enough, you generally want them to miss. Like that you have more units under the same synapse bubble too.

But with the kronos spell you could get more hits making the damage worth getting.
