Horms are great in Behemoth, you can get them to S5 when needed. I’d cut the physiologies from the Carnifex unit and use the points to trade out the Terms for Horms w/ AG. Even at 100 pts they are great backfield holders. The fight on death makes them tricky to charge, and bounding advance gives them a 17” move /w a charge to easily get to mid-board when needed.

I’m also a fan of 1x9 warriors instead of 2x5. The big unit gets a lot more milage out of the defensive buffs, Catalyst, and Unstoppable Onslaught. Can use the leftover pts to trade gargs for another Horm /w AG.

Am I ok with the carnifex load out? I’ve been thinking I agree with you on the 9 warriors

Is there a reason you’re avoiding putting Dermic on the Dule? If not, I’d take the physiology off the Fex to frre up the pts to change Whipcoil into Dermic.

[thereisonlywar]

Nope I just thought he would be more of a distraction and carnies could get in closer but I’ve never used any of them in game yet so I really heed advice at this point

[thereisonlywar]

So that would leave 10 points so I figure throw 10 point synapse upgrade on one of the carnies?

[dkng]

I'd switch Precognitive for Synapse or drop it altogether on the Carni. Definitely go for Dermic on the Dule. Pay 2 CP and give the Neuro the Resonance Barb relic and Adaptive WT to Tyrant. Well worth the CPs.

[piersonsmuppet]

Personally, I’d use the 10 pts to put TS on the Warriors or TS on both the Carnifex. Since Behemoth is a S based fleet, it gets hit hard by transhuman in melee. The TS will help mitigate the opponent’s ability to use it effectively.

Synapse Physiology would be more worth it if you didn’t have the Tyranid Prime to cover the backfield.
