Tactics

2x Flyrants and 2x Harpys go off on their own trying to get around the back without being shot up, harpies need to get around there to drop their Spore Mine Cysts turn 2 when hopefully the reserves come in.

Turn 2 reserves pop up near whatever they can actually kill, Rippers Spinefists are AP5 so likely something with low armor (36 shots total). Termagaunts pop up near to whatever the Harpy's poop on to finish it off.

Gargoyles with Parasite attached and the Shrikes pile up the middle of the board with hopefully all attention drawn to them so they die before anything else. If they survive the Gargs can peel off to get fight something with high toughness so the Toxin Sacs do their job. Parasite joins the Shrikes and tries to kill something to spawn more Ripper Swarms so I can tarpit some units and selectively pick off the rest.

Seems simple enough, probably wont work but I will try it anyway.

Unless you're playing some kinda special rules thing, you don't get double FOC until 2k pts. Aside from that flyrants do best with double devourers, you can't assault when making those long swoop moves.

Forgot about that. Will push it up to 2k. Will have to rethink the 1850 list...

Shrikes are much scarier with 2x BS or BS/LW. I just dont find the ST, RC combo too threatening.
