This is for a one-off mini tourney, the group I will be playing with Use PL (strange I know!)

So with a limit of 65PL I wanted to do something I wouldn’t normally do, I’ve gone for a shooty/psychic heavy force.

I absolutely love the Zoanthrope models and was planning on getting a couple of boxes anyway so them and the Warriors are the only units that are a must have.

What do you think?

Ur going to want a warrior prime.

[No One]

No, I don't think he does: you'd be giving up advance and charge or fnp (you probably want onslaught instead of a backup cat) and a smite for +1 to hit. Actually...*checks* even more than that, because prime is PL6 vs neuro's 4.

Which is another thing: we can't really give you advice on PL, because we don't play and the difference between points and PL is pretty whack. Exo and warriors have had substantial points drops, and hive guard moderate, with no changes in PL. The army concept seems fine: the only thing to think about would be the adapt. You can change it game to game with the strat one: could be something to make the hive guard more survivable (+2 cover or enhanced) or dermic to make the exo more survivable.

Afewviews, thanks but I tried to fit one in but I think what I lose would outweigh what I gain.

No One, thanks, I know it’s weird right? I usually play matched play and so pts, but they want to do PL!

I’ll most likely be facing 2 Imperial Fists players (one mini marines and one Primaris) Death Guard or T’au.
So cover won’t help much. The concept for this list was to max out as much damage and Mortal Wounds as possible!

This list may change what with 9th just around the corner. Depends on when the new edition hits!

Thanks again for the advice.
