Double broodlord or Swarmlord

[zimko]

A 'Super Flyrant' is a Flying Hive Tyrant with Scythes of Tyran from Behemoth and Murderous Size physiology, giving him 5 attacks with exploding 6s at Strength 8, AP 4 and damage 4 (damage 5 if you have toxin sacs and roll a 6+). Also can get +1 to wound from Behemoth psychic power and reroll to wounds from a stratagem, so you do 5 damage on 5+.

Got a robot problem? Super Flyrant.

Got a Knight problem? Super Flyrant.

Got a Mario kart problem? Super Flyrant.

Got a Custodes/SM problem? Yeaaa that's in the gutter. But for everything else, there's Super Flyrant.

Super flyrant's actually really good at dealing with most SM problems, provided he can get there (which can be a rather large caveat depending on deployment/army). Basically, can you charge it? Does it lack an invul and <5 models? If yes, it dies.

Custodes/quins/daemons, well...those're problematic.

5A on 4+ to wound with a 4++ or 5++ is not "it dies", so quite questionable. But yes, anything without Transhuman and invuls does die.

Yes, doesn't have the attacks to reliably get through invuls (which I mentioned). Transhuman's not great, but also not terrible: just make sure to pop voracious, and you'll usually kill 3 guys. Also doesn't like awkward wound thresholds, like ATV/cents with apoth, but it's a reasonable generalisation.

Fairs fair, I forgot voracious in the equation so it's not that bad.

Swarmlord is legendary I’m just hoping they give him some better lore when the new codex comes out. Catalyze him and get him in melee and he gets to work.
