I am having a battle with my friend. it is a 10,000 point battle, but there are no apocalypse models. I am playing against tyranids. The batle report will be posted when I have the time. I would like help on minor edits on this list. i want nothing that will have to go into close combat unless it is a destroyer lord. This is a shooty tesla army and I hope it works

please share your thoughts.

How are you working the FOC like that? Doubles every 2K points or something?

At 10,000 points I would run nothing but annihilation barges, gauss immortals and deathmarks with abyssal staff crypteks in them.

10 Immortals is 170 pts, not sure if that was a typo or not. Looks like it will be a fun game

My big guns are for big bugs. Bug spray ( by that I mean Annihilation barges) wont do much to the big bugs the. I have enough tesla. I might take 2 more but that is all

Thanks
that was a typo
that gave me 2 more annihilation barges

How does one employ THAT MANY Overlords, and yet not a single Cryptek?!

At 10k points Vs Tyranids, Orkain + a C'tan with Writhing Worldscape seems like a no brainier.

I don't like the non-Heavy Destroyers in this list.

With MC Flyers and Mycetic Spores, you need some Counter-Assualt units. I'd recommend Wraiths. I know you don't want CC, but it will happen. Also, if you don't want CC units, why so many CC HQs?

I strongly agree with the above poster. Use some Crypteks

He's playing Nids. You know the army with all the 3+ saves protecting its most vital bugs. 5 Destroyers dole out 2.60 wounds/turn against T6 3+, Two ABarges by contrast will get you 2.22/turn, and take up twice as many slots. Conversely, Nids have almost nothing that is AP 3 or better, and it's virtually impossible to get Destroyers into CC.

There are a few armies Destroyers aren't great against, Nids, however, is not one of them.

The hqs are meant to sweep stack all of he bids and they have special rules that are very God. He hqs give ne roamers and tachyon arrows. Mind in he machine wont help me but his phyrrian externals will alone with his special rules. Orkain will let me re roll all of my reserve rolls, make all moving count as moving through dangerous terrein, a trans beamer, and staff of tomorrow. Zandrekh lets me redeploy a coiple of units((doomsday arks), he has a res orb, and he will give my phyrrian externals adaptive tactics. Imotekh will use lightening on bugs, I can seize the initiative on a 4+, he has a flamer, he has phaeron, and humilliating defeat. Szeras will make my phyrrian externals super soldier, and he has gaze of flame. Orbydon has a warscythe, ghostwalk, and cleaving counterblow. Trazynt can claim objectives, has mss, and emplethetic oblibiator. He is a phaeron also.

Crypteks aren't my thing but I will take some. What should I take out?

Well you have to take out 3 catacomb command barges if you are only taking unique characters. Only overlords can take them, Obyron is a bodyguard, and Szeras and Orikan are crypteks.
