New player needs help

[chivetyrant]

Hi everyone.

1st post here and i am a total newbie.

Just picked up a combat patrol.

My warriors and tyrant are magnetized (Can go flyrant, swarmlord or walking tyrant)

I have found someone selling much cheaper new boxes of :

2x Warriors 1x Tyranofex-Tervigon 1x hive guard 2x zoanthropes and 1x Carnifex brood.

Seems like all these units are pretty useful in a decent list but i'm no expert so any feedback on if i should pick them up or save my money for more prioritary units is appreciated.

Hello and welcome fellow Devourer of biomass.

If the price is right all those units are useful except the Hive Guard. But remember - rules are changing and units that are bad now can be great in days to come. Warriors are staple today, so are the Zoans - one unit of Zoans is present in (almost) every list and there are lots with 2 or even more. Tervigon is on her rise, I see more and more of her lately and it is a very good unit. You have the Patrol box so you already have the swarm of Termas to screen her. Tyrranofex is great, both with Rupture Cannon and Acid Spray (sorry Pathos, the Hive is still not cutting it). Carnifexes are always welcome in basically any config but Screamers and HVC/ST are used most often.
So apart from the HG all those boxes are great for you. If those are unassembled please remember Hive Guard is the same box as Tyrant Guard and this is something you want. Yeah you really want TG nowadays.

Yep they are all new in box so unassembled and i will magnetize everything and most likely run them as tyrand guards.
I was under the impression these are all good units and they are priced 30% below GW prices, with no taxes.
He also has a Parasite of Mortrex but i feel like the other units are all better and more rounded.
Thanks for the input!

PoM is cheap (money-wise) and overall a good utility unit. It's lightning fast, can raise banners, can spawn Rippers with a relic, can sometimes spawn even more Rippers... I know it's not the most competitive and optimal unit in the Codex but definitely the most unique and fun.

PoM is a competitive choice with Gestation Sac and/or Alien Cunning. However, that is only in lists that have the CP to spare (so not in 2x Tyrant lists).
