Illegal list. You can't mix-and-match weapons on the warriors like that. They must all have identical equipment except for one heavy weapon option.

Also the genestealers are illegal. You must equip all of them, or none of them with Toxin (including the broodlord).


EDIT: Poster below beat me to my edit.

Warriors don't work like that - they all have to be armed the same.

Your price is wrong on the Tyrant Guard - should be 130.

You can't just have 10 stealers with toxin sacs. Also, the max brood size is 20, so you can't have 20 and a broodlord. And you can't split it into two units of 10 because that'd be 7 Troop units. It's also worth 400 points (370 if you could magically get rid of 10 of the toxin sacs).

Hows about posting a legal list.

Oh, ok. Seems like I should read the codex with more detail. For the broodlord, it says it is an upgrade, so one genestealer is upgraded to that.

New and legal?

Well done, you waited 6 days.

How has the play testing gone so far? Have you had trouble against mech-heavy opponents?

At 2500 points, I don't think you have nearly enough anti-vehicle capability. Three Hive Guard and two zoans (especially zoans without pods) aren't going to cut it IMO.

If I were playing against this list, I'd work my way at gunning down the Trygons with my AP3 or better weaponry and then torrenting down the zoans (wouldn't have to start shooting these until turn 2 as they'd be out of range)and Hive Guard with whatever I have left. The hormaguants could be ignored for the most part, genestealers can be roasted with flamers/heavy flamers.

I'd cut the stealers down by about half and get more Hive Guard and Zoan thropes. You could probably drop two broods of hormaguants, a Tervigon or two w/ catalyst would be a nice boost to keeping your units more survivable.

I don't think you need that many Primes, either one (maybe two) would be more than enough, I think.

I would go 2 broods of 2 hive guard, one broos of 2 zoanthropes in the elites.

Not all the trygons need prime upgrades but they do need adrenal glands.

Personally not a great fan of hormogaunts, especially when vanilla. I think mass stealers is much better but would give them all toxin sacs. Stealers have the ability to kill tanks/transports which the gaunts don't have and this makes them more useful to me.

Needs more zonethropes. Drop the reganeration off the primes you don't need it. Put adreal glands on the trygons.
