Still attempting competitive,

Built to avoid getting shot, with maximum flyers (snapfire much?), some “hiding behind LOS blocking terrain and MC” Venomthropes to protect me for a turn or two, some Mawlocs to take out ADL and stay underground (untargetable). Plus all the Troops wont be on the board till at least turn 2 so I’m not too worried about them getting prioritized and obliterated by the full opponents force.

It goes like this:

250 1x Hive Tyrant / Wings / 2x TL Devourer BLW / Hive Commander
250 1x Hive Tyrant / Wings / 2x TL Devourer BLW / Hive Commander
150 1x Harpy / Cluster Spines
155 1x Crone
155 1x Crone

45 1x Venomthropes
45 1x Venomthropes
100 2x Zoanthropes
170 1x Exocrine

188 30x Termagaunts / 17x Devourers (flanking)
210 1x Tervigon / Clusterspines / Electroshoc Grub (flanking)
140 1x Mawloc
140 1x Mawloc

So the Tervigon, Termagaunts, and 2 Mawlocs are starting off the board.

5 FMC to wreck complete havoc

I’ve hesitated about the Zoanthropes but I needed a bit more synapse on the backfield, it also can stand right in front of the Exocrine to give it a cover save even on open ground and can shoot well enough.
If the opponent focuses on my Exocrine, Zoans and Venomthropes in the first few rounds then that means my FMC get a free field day to sow destruction in the opponents backyard.

I wanted to make sure I have 1 Harpy since a Harpy combining a charge with a Flyrant is one of the best counters to Deamon Princes and other high Ini & high damage beasts.

Mawlocs are great to destroy ADL and their quad guns which hurt my FMC.

Scoring units shouldn’t be a problem since one of the teams is 30 models and the other is a Tervigon with W6 at T6 and a 3+ArSv which spawns more scoring units.
Neither of them starts on the board so it should be very difficult for the opponent to take out all my scoring units.

no answer at all?

come on, this list is really good I think.
