I am playing in a team tourney tomorrow at the FLGS and each player gets 1000pts with normal force org. My teammate is running space marines with lots devastators and shooting.

I like to run fun lists that get up in the other side, not so much hyper competitive lists. I have always been a nidzilla fan too. So I made 3 lists and I would like to see which one people think I should bring tomorrow?

List A
Swarmlord
Flyrant with double devourer
3 rippers
3 rippers
trygon

List B
Swarmlord
10 termegants

List C
Flyrant with double devourer

Tervigon

If you are wanting to run the swarmlord and looking for a crazy tough unit that is still fun to play, I suggest a list like this:



Lots of shooty, with the ability to spread out, and should anything manage to get through the terma shield, you have a wall of TL, S6 shots for them before they meet their demise to the Swarmstar. Basically you have the ability to move as a single huge block of death.

I also suggest taking ST instead of the dev on the Prime, but this way you still get an overwatch. Up to you.

of the 3 lists though, C is the most competitive, B looks like the most fun.

Thanks for the feed back

Its a tough call between fun and competitive

Question, how are you guys playing the doubles? Are you treating your armies as 2 individual armies, or are you approaching it from the standpoint of both parts make a whole?

no fancy rule changes. treated as 2 separate 1000 pt army's with normal force org that are teamed up. regardless of codex, teammate counts as a battlebrother.

The reason I ask is that you might find if you gear your armies to where one is focused on killing and the other focuses on objective holding, you might find more success... and as we all know... Tervs pooping gants are almost impossible to clear off of objectives... so if your partner was going to focus on chewing through your opponents, it might behoove you to take a terv heavy list and just park your pregnant self on as many objectives as you can.

If you were looking for a strong objective team, and having your partner do all the shooting, I would go with something like this:

No variety (read: boring), but you will be darn near impossible to clear off of objectives provided you hold off spawning until you are "parked"

Now, if you are in charge of clearing things out, I might go with something like this:


You have a ton of S6 TL dakka here, with your biggest threats coming in via Spod. Having immediate threats with good mobile synapse for those big boys is, at worst, something your opponent MUST deal with next turn. Letting your troops out of synapse isnt an issue because if you are running this list, your teammate should be the one holding the objectives.

Again, these lists are merely suggestions if you are looking at making the two lists as an "almost single army" feel.

If you are strictly sticking to the original 3 lists though, list B looks like the most fun for my playstyle
