Jormungandr Kronos List

[cmob208]

I'm playing around with this list for an upcoming tournament. Would love to hear any feedback: 

Kronos Patrol:
Neurothrope (Warlord, Symbiostorm)
3 Ripper Swarms
6 Hive Guard (Impaler Cannons, Enhanced Resistance)
Exocrine

Jormungandr Patrol:
Tyranid Prime (Deathspitter, Boneswords)
Neurothrope (Resonance Barb, Lurking Maws)
9 Warriors (3 VCs, 6 DS, 5 Bone Swords, 4 Lash Whip/ Boneswords)
3 Ripper Swarms
Tyrranofex (Acid Spray)
Tyrranofex (Acid Spray)
6 Hive Guard (Shockcannons)
6 Hive Guard (Shockcannons)

The idea is that the warriors are quite resilient with the -1 Damage strat and can control the center or an objective and take a lot of fire power.  Tyrranofexes can deal with infantry, control objectives, and take opponent infantry off objectives. Fairly tanky with a 2+ save from Jormungandr. The Shockcannon Hive Guard come in turns 2 and 3 with outflank, and the Neurothrope casts Lurking Maws on some big vehicle hopefully for devastating effect. Exocrine and Impaler Hive Guard do their thing in the backfield, and rippers either prevent enemy deepstrike, or deep strike into far corners for Engage all Fronts. I'd consider going for Psychic Ritual depending on the matchup, and probably 1-2 of the killy ones, also depending on matchup.

I quite like the list, you have quite a lot of fire power. The one thing is that you have very little obsec. Maybe drop one of the shock guard for some termagants or another squad of warriors. Being able to hold objectives is more important than killing in 9th i feel. That said I'm not that experienced a player so definitely try a practice game or two beforehand.

You're definitely right that holding objectives is the most important ability. I think having my Impaler Guard in the back with the neurothrope/ Exocrine on one objective will work fine, and the Warriors on one in front should be super resilient. The Tyrannofexes I am also hoping can hold 1-2 objectives and clear off enemy infantry easily. And the rippers deepstriking or being on objectives as needed. I did decide to drop two of the Shock Guard for another Neurothrope to add Catalyst, as well as better ability to do the Psychic Ritual if I choose that. So the list now looks like:

Kronos Patrol:
Neurothrope (Warlord, Symbiostorm)
Neurothrope (Catalyst)
3 Ripper Swarms
6 Hive Guard (Impaler Cannons, Enhanced Resistance)
Exocrine

Jormungandr Patrol:
Tyranid Prime (Deathspitter, Boneswords, Adrenal Glands)
Neurothrope (Resonance Barb, Lurking Maws)
9 Warriors (3 VCs, 6 DS, 5 Bone Swords, 4 Lash Whip/ Boneswords, Enhanced Resistance)
3 Ripper Swarms
Tyrranofex (Acid Spray)
Tyrranofex (Acid Spray)
5 Hive Guard (Shockcannons)
