Jorm-fexes

[bugsy]

Since the nerf to Levi I’m considering Jorm for that sweet hunt + lurk as well as survivability. A question I have is, would it only cost one cp to deepstrike a unit of three fexes?

[piersonsmuppet]

Yes, Carnifex count as one unit until after they are set up on the battlefield. Same reason you can choose all three as one TTL “unit”.

yup all for one. I was toying with a Jorm list for a GT in two weeks. It was due tonight at midnight and I ran out of time to make Jorm do what I wanted better than Kraken ion paper since the mid bugs are so aggressively priced (and little bugs so overpriced) I kept going back to them, so I ended up doing the fexen list as a Kraken mid bug with fex support.

Some Jorm plusses would be the build in Heavy Cover saving us 105 points for venomthrope cloud early game. Can also deepstrike some heavy hitters. I'm especially intrigued by the idea of burying an AcidFex to clear a flank or force reactive play. The psychic power emulates the Kraken fleet trait. It has a lot going for it, that mostly feels defensive. I don't know that Fexen really benefit from territorial instinct as much because only 9 wounds

Crushing claw HVC with Enhanced Senses one squad, and Carnifex Scything Talons and HVC with ES and Adrenal glands on another squad.

They're never going to know what to do

I Personally use tyrannofex and some screamer kilers. Tfex is more resilient and so can score but is less killy

But it has a juicy overwatch

Yes, in my last game, the SM captain was litterraly liqufied when tried to charge it

Tfex in Jorm is super fun, and pretty effective esp with voracious. It may not be as pts efficient to deepstrike with Jorms strat, but darn does it do some good work when you can place it where you want.

This ^^
AcidFex along Pyrovores (at least until they get a price hike) are the go-to Jorm pop-up units. Both are tough, sport a juicy (yes I like this expresion very much) overwatch to guard an objective while still having some CC (Pyros' CC is quite good tbh).

Tfex with territorial instinct is better than pyrovores : it is super OP
