2k Kronos NEW point adjustments

[zimko]

With warriors and hive guard getting cheaper, we have more room to list build. So here's my go at a tournament TAC list.

Kronos Battalion
HQ
Neurothrope w/ Symbiostorm and Resonance Barb (Warlord) - 95
Swarmlord w/ Catalyst and Onslaught- 270
Troops
3 Rippers - 36
25 Termagants w/ Devourers - 175
9 Warriors w/ Boneswords and Enhanced Resistance- 180
Elites
6 Hive Guard - 270
Lictor - 37
Lictor - 37
3 Venomthropes - 99
Fast Attack
Dimachaeron w/ Accelerated Digestion - 230
Dimachaeron - 230
Heavy Support
Exocrine - 170
Exocrine - 170

Total: 1,999

All of the points savings between warriors and hive guard more than paid for extra termagants and devourers. The cost of Devgants is remarkable IMO. A unit of 25 can arrive from strategic reserves and wipe out a unit of 30 orks or 20 necron warriors (after double shooting). They shore up the weakness of Dimachaerons which is handling hordes.

I'll be interested to see how those dev gaunts do. It seems like we might have a viable option to shoot down necron warriors.

My warrior/hive guard list just gained almost 120 points, so I'm most likely between using that or a nidzilla list for an RTT I've got coming at the end of the month.

I think a devgant unit is a worthwhile investment. Another thing I forgot to mention is that they can use the Lictor's stratagem from strategic reserves to arrive near the Lictor instead.
