2000 Pts Leviathan & Kronos List (Vs Astra Militarum)

[tylertt]

Hey Hive, wanted some feedback on this list. I'll be going up against my friends Astra Militarum force.

He is a very smart player and we haven't had a match since the start of 8th edition. I'm really looking forward to it, but have been struggling with how I could best deal with tanks.

My thought with this list is use the Warriors, Gants, and Zoanthropes to hold my objectives and use the rest of the force to advance forward. I figure with the Tyrants and Fexes/OOE it will give some target priority challenges for him.

Appreciate some feedback as I work on developing my list building skills.

ALSO, I know another Exocrine and more HG would be ideal, but I've maxed out on using what I own. Hoping to get a few more models in the near future.

I've mulled it over and came up with this new list. I feel as though the Leviathan fleet will tank loads of wounds and with the Malanthrope near some of my key units I can make it that much harder to take them off objectives. I've also added another unit of 10 Termagants for objective holding that can try and stay near the Malanthrope for 6+ and -1

Is Symbiostorm on the neurothrope and zoanthropes just for redundancy?

[tylertt]

Yeah my plan was to use it on both of them as my Tyrants likely would be using Psy scream & Catalyst over the thropes.

I figured it could give me the ability to spread out a little bit more with the HG and Exocrine
