9th 2000pts List

[bct]

Hey everybody. I'm new to this forum and wanted to share my list idea so here we go:

Leviathon Patrol
- Swarmlord 270    (Maybe switch for a Hive Tyrant with wings and either claws and 2x devourers or just quad devourer dakka action)

- Malanthrope 135
- Ripper Swarm 36
- 5x Zoanthropes
- 5x Zoanthropes

- 3x Biovores 150

- 3x Biovores 150

Kronos Patrol
- Neurothrope 95
- Ripper Swarm 36
- 6x Hive Guard 300
- Exocrine 170
- Exocrine 170

Total 1982 pts

The idea is using the Swarm Lord for damage and pushing Zoans forward, the Zoans for primary objective holding and the biovores for blocking enemies with the spore mine misses. The Kronos Patrol is obviously for some damage output. What do you think? Do I need more smaller troops/units? How does this list play the secondary objective game?

I am really looking forward for your feedback Thanks in advance!!

That's a very similar list to one I'm crafting now too. I think it has potential. Not having a Neurothrope for the Zoanthropes feels bad. Rerolling 1s can be crucial for those big smites. 2 units of rippers can reliably get Linebreaker for a secondary, and usually there's a 'kill' secondary that is worth taking. For your third pick, you may have some trouble. This list doesn't go out and grab objectives or get to table quarters. It's main focus is going to be holding 2 objectives (for 40 points on primary) and limiting your opponent's ability to kill you (by either pumping them full of shots, or just surviving on 3++ saves with the Zoans). So the rest of the secondaries are going to be difficult to achieve.

For my list, I'm using a Broodlord to snag Psychic Ritual. I think a Neurothrope could do it too but the Kronos Neurothrope is going to be needed elsewhere. And Swarmlord definitely can't do it cause you need him to fight.

As for lots of bodies, idk. It depends on your meta. Maybe 60 termagants will be better than 6 biovores? 50 pts for a biovore is really rough.

Thanks for your quick answer How about switching some things like this? With that i'll have a Neurothrope for the Zoans around and a Hive Tyrant for moving fast across the board and/or some deep striking action. I really like the idea of the Biovores gunking up the field with spore mines and indirect shooting

Not bad. I'm curious how it will do. You might consider a Heavy Venom Cannon for the Tyrant and give it the relic one that ignores invul saves from Kronos.

EDIT: I think that's a Stranglethorn Cannon that ignores invuls... so nvm on that. But a Heavy Venom Cannon with the Blood of Baal relic or the one that auto-hits within 7 inches is also good.

the zoans are 10 pts cheapers, so i added a mucolid spore to the list, i just played it against a melee necron list, it did exceptionally well, won end of round 3 with a concede
