2k hydra

[garg]

I will be playing 2k points tempest of war mission against a friend's guard army.
My initial thoughts for the game are that if I take a totally optimised list that it could be quite one sided.

2*patrols


Swarmlord
Flyrant reaper
Tervigon
Neurothrope

2* 15 hormagaunts
30 termagants
2* 8 warriors AG

3* venomthropes
Death leaper

Exocrine dermic

I'm not sure if the list is a bit too light on shooting and maybe the venomthropes might be too strong against guard though I wanted something other than the tyrant to encircle with. I could swap them for some raveners.
What do you think?
I'd like to the tervig

What is his typical guard list?

[garg]

He used to play mechanised guard with chimaeras a basilisk or two, some Leman Russ, hell hounds. He tended to win die to the sheer amount of stuff he had. More recently he's taken infantry heavy lists with lots of guardsmen, veterans with a small smattering of tanks. I suspect he will go back to more of a mechanised list for our game but who knows.
