2k anti tank list

[icarusfalling]

I wanted to try a skew list against the vehicle mega we have locally atm (loads of guard), any suggestions on how to improve this list would be welcome.

The basic idea is for the lictors/broodlord to score banners and behind enemy lines while hiding away, while the big guns pop whatever tanks show their faces. I’m torn between Warp Ritual and Psychic interrogation as a final secondary, though should have plenty of psychic to do either.

Obsec monsters should be able to bully whatever smaller guys are left after the tanks are dealt with.

Should make the Trygon a prime and give it passenger & senses, then trade BL and a lictor for a 5x Warrior unit w/ LS,BS,2xST and use the Tyrgon strat to DS them from reserves. FW models are in a pretty bad place right now, the dule is not going to perform well for a 300 pt model.

Had a test run with the list as it was, performed decently but a couple of changes may be in order:
1) As you’ve said, the heirodule just doesn’t pull its weight. Thinking of dropping in some shock cannon hive guard to help replace its shooting, not sure what to do with the other points though?
2) Trygon to a prime makes total sense, didn’t realise you could have 4 HQ with AoO! Would maw claws and senses be a good combo?
3) I don’t have any warriors with boneswords but was thinking a 3 man squad with deathspitters/venom cannon could help hold the mid table/backline a bit more?
4) Broodlord and lictors are amazing for banners/behind enemy lines/general objective holding, scored well early and really helped put the pressure on the whole game

Maw Claws and Senses can be a good combo, but you've still got the 9" charge even with 3d6 drop 1. I think the +2" to charge roll from Passenger is better, especially since you can always just spend 1 CP for rr wounds. You really only lose out on 1A, not a big difference on a 12A model.

The 3-man Warrior unit would be fine for mid/back objectives.
