I'm going to my first RTT on the 25th. 

I plan to use the Tervigon to screen any fast attackers, drop the (6) Pyrovores on the first turn, and just sit back and shoot... 

Any advice you have would be great!

   Thanks!

Put 3 Pyros in the pod and 3 in Reserve, 6 in the pod has trouble with getting all of them in range of targets to shoot.

TI would be better than the Fleet Adaptive imo, 7 obsec monsters (5 of which count as 5 models) trumps -1AP some of the time.

6 just has trouble fitting, full stop: 60 mms are big. Fine in the open, but if you constrict for angles with a board edge, or terrain, can often be awkward.

I'd recommend 3-2-1: lets you put 3+2 or 3+1 in the pod depending, and the other in reserves, or even 3 in pod, 2 in reserves, and 1 on board as a token backfield holder.

I'd say most: without it you have no way of securing primary at all. Also takes t-cyte from 'minor nuisance' to 'legitimate problem': without zoan imperative it's not hard to kill, but means it does have to be killed, which gives you some proactive objective pressure.

Should drop the stranglers off the pod. The only real advantage is the range, which...sure, I guess that gives you more AP some of the time, which you'd just...get by having deathspitters. You hit on 5s, will often end up in combat so blast's a downside. Maybe just take dermic somewhere I think? Or voracious/ag or something?

Anyway, with literally nothing else, I think you'll really struggle with scoring: taking instincts at least shores up primary, but without that...you've got nothing really other than 'I hope I kill everyone T2' basically. You've got no protection for either character for warp ritual, basically no infantry for banners. Everything is eligible for engage, so you'll probably score that, and could maybe get some points on grind or other kill secondaries? But you're not actually durable with no invuls (oh hi IH).

Also lash whip+bonesword is the better melee, and you've got the CP to take adaptive biology, so should.

Thanks for the help guys!!!

So yes, I am putting 6 pyrovores in the drop pod. With the Kronos extra 4" on range, I can hit with all 6 with the powerful 12"+4" flame.

You guys are correct tho, not having op-sec on anything is a real issue. I'm bad at objectives and secondary objectives, but trying to get better.

And yes, that stupid Tyrannocyte... I bought it on ebay and don't have any other guns for it other than the Barbed strangler.... XD


Thanks Again!

As someone who's run the 6 in a pod in Kronos, I dropped back to 5/4 for a reason: you might be OK depending on terrain, but range is still an issue (16" is good, until you want to shoot something behind a screen). Basically it can be awkward for diminishing returns, while splitting up a bit gives you a bit more flexibility. Also morale.

I'd just run it as deathspitters anyway: check with TO if concerned, but nobody other than nid players are going to be able to tell the difference, and I doubt any nid player's going to be paying close enough attention to a t-cyte to notice either.
