2k leviathan list

[fallencerebrate]

2,000 pt draft list. Playing either necrons or grey knights (with maybe a knight attached), never played these armies before so any advice on the list or tactics would be appreciated. I’m unsure about double exocrine if it would be overkill or inefficient, I normally run one alongside a Tfex or an extra S.C.

Always make your Neurothrope the WL.

...Why does everything bar neuro have neuroparasite? Screamer-killer looks out of place, as does Synapse on it. Also as above, otherwise seems fine.

Double exo may be a mistake, but terrain dependant. Exo doesn't want to push mid as much, so you're vulnerable to terrain sightlines and reliant on the rest of your army to cap, vs t-fex which is happy to push. Doubt it'll be a bad choice though.

Good spot, I missed that actually. First time using battle forge.

So this is a tweak of a list I used successfully against a chaos army a few weeks back. I had two SC and a 25 hormagaunt squad to speed down enemy flank and take over the objectives in that half of their deployment zone. Synapse AP obviously covered gaunts and gave SC transhuman so it was much harder to take off the board. I scaled back the gaunts and 2nd SC to help make room for flyrant and Harpy.

This is my concern with the exo as they’re quite static, but I figured a 2nd exo would be a better all rounder vs GK/necron than a rupture cannon Tfex. I know if this guy uses necrons he ALWAYS fields the void dragon, and it wrecks anything it touches. So with this draft list was to maximise MW output/big gun output, while also being being sound against psychic in case he blindsides with GK.

Neuroparasite spam because it’s good against infantry squads and neuro can make two of the units pull it off pretty much guaranteed each time with double warp siphon.

You still can only cast it once per round…

And regarding the Tyrranofex - it is the Acidfex that’s the go-to option and it likes going up the board. Rupture Cannon is cool and all but the consistency and overwatch fear- factor of Acidfex is just better.

Eh, it's good against very specific infantry squads (i.e. big ones of T4 or T3), but it's generally just OK when you consider WC7, even if you're casting on a reasonable (i.e. T3/4 5+ guys) target. Then it's bad to useless against...a lot of other things. As above, you can only cast it once, so stick it on zoans 'cause it's actually solid at effectively WC4. Otherwise, honestly it's one of our worst powers.

I know if this guy uses necrons he ALWAYS fields the void dragon, and it wrecks anything it touches.

You have a reaper flyrant, void dragon's irrelevant.

[Master Chief]

That's true, Void Dragon is irrelevant against reaper flyrant and nids in general.

Have you tried BattleScribe?

[bigpig]

Overall, list feels more Kraken/Jorm/Kronos than Levi. Levi Trans really benefits warrior spam the most and (yes) synapse big bugs. Also the reroll for msu or single model units is cool, but Id say see how the other fleet benefits might work better against your meta and expected opponents.

If you are going up against Grey Knights watch out for the mortal wound bomb librarian. If everything goes right, he is worse than a pre FAQ malaceptor.
