I can mostly read the leaks from the new Forgeworld book, but some of it is a bit hard to make out. That being said, here's a list I would like to try to test out some of the models that got boosted by points drops (Hierodules) or upgrades (Dimaecherons). Let me know if you have any feedback.
Hive Fleet: Custom (Prey Sight, Hypermetabolic Acceleration)
Battalion (2000 points)
HQ:
Swarmlord (Onslaught, Catalyst) - 270
Malanthrope (Warlord, Norn Crown) - 150
Troops:
3 Warriors (1 Barbed Strangler/ Rending Claws, 2 Deathspitter/ Scything Talons) - 87
3 Rippers - 33
3 Rippers - 33
Fast Attack:
Dimaecheron - 230
Dimaecheron - 230
Dimaecheron - 230
Heavy Support:
Scythed Hierodule (Dermic Symbiosis) - 235
Barbed Hierodule (Dermic Symbiosis) - 275
Carnifex (Stranglethorn Canon, 2 Devourers, Enhanced Senses) - 125
Elites:
Pyrovore - 28
Lictor - 37
Lictor - 37
Idea is for 2 Dimaecherons to charge T1 using Onslaught on one and Double Move from Swarmlord on the other, and the Swarmlord, Scythed Hierodule, and third Dimaecheron charge T2. Warriors and Carnifex provide a bit of anti-horde, which the monsters are light on (other than Scythed Hierodule). Pyrovore and Lictors are there for Deploy Scramblers/ Raise the Banners. Rippers and Lictors deep strike for engage all fronts/ linebreaker (charging monsters will also get these). Malanthrope gives the -1 to hit aura, which may especially be important T1 if I go second. All 5 big monsters have 18 wounds (if I'm reading that right) and a 5++. Dimaecherons can get a 5+++, and Swarmlord can use Catalyst on a monster as well.
