I'm not convinced the br...A couple of concerns:<br />I'm not convinced the broodlord is superior enough to a genestealer to justify the 3x cost. Aura is good, but the AOE isn't going to overlap enough to really impact high LD armies more than being able to deliver several more attacks. Rerolling 1s doesn't seem to be a good choice over more bodies to soak wounds. Maybe replace them with 14 hormagaunts with toxin sacs?<br /><br />The Ymgarl seem to be too much a hit or miss choice for their cost. Bad timing on a terrain piece and the unit may never even hit the table. Without Hive Commander on your Tyrant the Ymgarl, spores, and Trygon are going to be less reliable in forcing your opponent into bad decisions.<br /><br />The Tyrant might want to invest in a heavy venom cannon and get a whip/bonesword instead. This will help with your inconsistent anti armor (along with Hive Commander) much more than the fairly weak Leech Essence. AP2 just doesn't overcome the S3.<br /><br />Was it cost that lead you to skip Catalyst on the Tervigon (or onslaught)?Old Gruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270805992754614020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2612222796181901761.post-33896243327924992962010-10-30T05:51:55.436-05:002010-10-30T05:51:55.436-05:00Yeah, got a win and a draw out of it Thursday nigh...Yeah, got a win and a draw out of it Thursday night, with Termagaunts killing Lysander, Astorath and a Terminator Librarian...<br /><br />The one things I notice about this list is that no matter what, even in a win, I have very few models left barring Gaunts...Aventinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974524094661799700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2612222796181901761.post-61071533580128288372010-10-29T16:20:05.102-05:002010-10-29T16:20:05.102-05:00This list is really good and I had a fun time agai...This list is really good and I had a fun time against it. If anything you should add two more Hiveguard to make the list really good! However it would make the army less enjoyable to fight.<br /><br />I really think I could have beat you in that great game we played.

Let the tyrant keep his sword/whip, give him a gun. The talons really arn't needed for him.<br />Put some upgrades on the tervs, that is part of their gimick, giving the gaunts tox sacs and adrenal.<br />And nothing else is as fast as those trygons, make one of them a prime to keep the other two in check.<br /><br />Just my thoughts.TheGraveMindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202256201375802641noreply@blogger.com
