Idk about the toxicrene and how well it'll work. yeah, 12 attacks that are 2+ to wound is nice, but at just 1 damage for a Monster, that's not a whole lot of damage it'll be inflicting. The Aura ability and mortals is nice, possibly the low damage is balanced by it shooting the tentacles as well so it's more so 12+2D6 attacks each turn it's locked in combat... but when screamer killers get 10 attacks at 3 damage it's a little harder to justify.

Anti-blob Monster, innit?

Toxicrene is more of a disruption piece with the chance to hold units in combat as well as reducing movement with a strat and a -1 to hot aura.

Agreed. Mr Tickle is not there for hitting power so much as a force multiplier. -1 TH and potentially making your opponent's units fight last when close to him is very nice and could really make a difference. Just don't expect him to do much by himself.

I'm liking spore cloud stratagem/whipcoil reflexes. T1 Drop pod and behemoth reroll charges, +S doesnt matter cuz 2+ wounding unless they have shenanigans or are a vehicle/titanic.

They try to fall back, 2+ suffer d3 mortals, then 3 or 2+ they cant fall back cuz lashes. If it survives to your turn, its clearly remaining stationary and then you have a 9" aura of -1 hit they have to move around to do things.

Played cagey its got some ups

Toxicrene (and other ACID BLOOD models) also has some fun synergy between ACID BLOOD and Catalyst, avg is 6 MWs in the opponent for just 8 dmg through Catalyst.
