I'm not going to run through the tactics for all of the lists, but I'm sure you can imagine. The comm relay in list 3 is to hopefully get both mawlocs in on turn 2, and also, an Aegis defence line with Venomthrope shrouding will provide 2+ cover, which is awesome. My only regret about list 3 is that I could only fit one Venomthrope in it. So I think my favourites are List 1 and List 4 for competitiveness. What do you think?


Cheers,

Tom

I am pretty sure someone has to man the comms relay to get the reserve bonus not sure if nids can do this. If not take give commander with that list. They all sound interesting depending in your meta but I like 1. Try a bastion for the single venomthrope. You won't get the defence line but you lone venomthrope is safer
