I have been out of the loop for a while with everything going on but slowly starting to get back into the swing of things. After catching up a bit, I am excited with some of these recent point changes and rules updates. The change to bring it down and the fact that Dimas are apparently good now, as well as some other changes, have inspired me to build this new list to get by until we get our new dex.
BATTALION (Kraken)
- progeny of the hive
Hq
1. Swarmlord- catalyst, onslaught, smite
2. Neurothrope (Warlord)- synaptic lure, smite
Troops
1. Hormagaunts x30
2. Termagants x30- 10 fleshborers, 20 devourers
3. Warriors x3- scything talons, 2 deathspitters, 1 barbed strangler
Fast Attack
1. Dimachaeron
2. Dimachaeron
PATROL (Kronos)
Hq
1. Neurothrope- symbiostorm, smite, resonance barb
Troops
1. Rippers x3
2. Rippers x3
Elites
1. Have guard x5- impalers
Heavy:
1. Exocrine- dermic symbiosis
2. Exocrine- dermis symbiosis
TOTAL: 1999
I think the list is pretty solid and it will give me plenty to build and paint with the gaming lull. In terms of painting goals, this list will force me to paint up some warriors, the extra 10 hormagaunts for the 30 man, the 20 devourer haunts that I need to still order, my warlord neurothrope, the second exocrine that has been ordered and finally, both Dimas which unfortunately I can't seem to order right now... I will have to keep checking for those I suppose and if I am able to get some games in with this list soon, hopefully my friends are cool with a couple trygon proxies. They are fairly close to base size and height no? Lol.
As far as the list is concerned, pretty straight forward. Shooting base does their thing while the Dimas apply aggressive pressure with support from swarmy. Cheap warriors squad to provide synapse and hold an objective. Also had 10 spare points so barbed strangler for potshots. Sure? Lol. Horms to clog the mid board while rippers help me score where need be and the terms I plan to use either conservatively by placing them in strategic reserves or place them on the board and get in range asap. I do have a regular Ork opponent so I forsee these guys having value in horde match-ups and will be useful against my other regular Tau opponent. I am unsure if synaptic lure is the right power to take with the WL neurothrope but, I figure it can help get 2 Dimas engaged into priority threats turn 1 easier (swarmy sling one, onslaught and synaptic lure the other). Not sure how effective it will be but figured it could work and I do plan to go for psychic ritual and using the WL neuro was the plan. Turn 1 use that to help a dima and then advance to the middle, turns 2-4 casting the ritual. Speaking of secondaries, the plan was engage on all fronts, psychic ritual and scramblers if playing GT missions, something else if standard book stuff.
That is more or less it. I am excited to start painting up what I need for this list! Building the warriors now and just gotta wait for my dev gaunts and second exo to come in! As far as the Dimas go, I guess I will just keep checking until they are available again. Let me know what you think!
