Hey guys. Just wanted some feedback on my list for the new codex.

Please bare in mind that where I play they use 4x4 tables not 4x6 so this makes synapse a little easier for me.

Here is my list

Hq:
Flyrant 2 TL devs - 230

Elite:
Zoanthrope - 50


Zoanthrope - 50


Troops:

20 term -80


20 term -80


20 term -80


22 horm -110

Heavy:
Exocrine -170


Fex, adrenals, toxin -150


Total - 1000

Im thinking of dropping one squad of termagaunts and 2 hormagaunts to save 90 points to add TL devs on the carnifex and get a venomthrope.

What does everyone think?

Cheers,
James

Not sure how your Carnifex currently costs 150pts? Those are some expensive Toxin Sacs

If it were me i'd do something about the lonely Carnifex. Seems to much of a priority target. And the Hormagaunts being only 22 and vanilla won't do much, if at all.

Maybe something like:

Flyrant
2x Zoanthropes
50x Gaunts
Dakkafex
Dakkafex
Exocrine


Kinda light on infantry. But on a 4x4 table, where they gonna hide from the 36x S6 shots + Exocrine output? So they'd probably be too busy to shoot at the Gaunts.


But that's me.

Cheers. My fex is 150 as he has adrenals and toxin at 15 each if my memory serves me rightly? The horms were to just tie up a nasty unit to stop my other guys getting shot up?

Toxin is 10, AG 15. It's Acid Blood which is 15 as well.

Hormagaunts work as fodder for sure. I've used 30 minimum in most of my games, but they under produce every time. With the ability to mix and match weapons in Termigant broods i'm personally thinking it may be better doing that for my games.

Hormagaunts can be a liability as they're fast and go out of synapse kinda quick, so they can run away from a combat and can be cut down.

It all depends if you really need that extra fodder with the amount of gaunts you already have on a small board!

Regardless, a lonely CC Carnifex probably won't get to do much imo.

No that's why I'm thinking of doing twin devs on the fex now and trading the horms for so,etching else. Will rework it later I think
