Help for a 1K crusader list

[nicsterdk]

Hey Hivemind,

I have an up coming friendly crusader campaign. While it is friendly there are some participants that are quite agressive, so I want to make sure I can at least make it fun.
I was hoping you would give my list a lookover and come with any suggestions or just confirmation if it looks solid.

I have considdered giving the Hive Tyrant HV and Parasite relic? Also been thinking on decresing noumber of devilgaunts to make room for a Lictor, but I don't know how necessary they are in narrative play, so any pointers would be appreciated

At 1000pts, the Neuro isnt as needed. The Tyrant w/ Barb can toss both Symbio/Catalyst while smiting, and shouldnt be at too much risk of dying pre T3 if you take off the wings and don’t place it terribly. That would give you some more room to fill out/upgrade what you have. Alternatively, a Broodlord with Barb would be much better than the Neuro. Pathogen would be better with one of the cannons i think

Is your group doing crusade based on pts? I thought army comp and battle sizes were usually PL based for crusade.

Those are some good point, will definitely take them into considderation. Much obliged .

I just usually find Broodlordie a bit to squishy and tend to avoid him abit. I could give him a swing and see how he does

We have chosen to play with point buy, as it seemed the most ballanced for all of us.
