I reckon the double Dimachaeron build needs kraken to be able to charge both in a turn.

2 of the 3 choices are kraken for double charge in a turn, the 3rd is a jorm list to give them and the barbed 2+/1+ save respectively all with 5++ and i only charge 1 on turn one, though the exocrine and barbed both ignore covr however it seems beefier to me? Im not sure, just theorycraftinh atm and asking for opinions. 😀

1st list, actually list your hive fleet as Kraken ( ), res barb as relic, and dermic on exo.

2nd list has way too little stuff that benefits from Jorm (flyrant nope and dimas want to advance/charge and have an invul) and exo gets way more from Kronos, and the melee gets more from anything else really.

3rd list maybe, but I think you really need good shooting support, and 50 pt zoans are more eh.
