Hoping to play test this badboy soon. I'm digging the Lictor Forest Brood formation for getting real close to the enemy lines with crapload of lictors and leading the mawlocs to perfect hits hopefully. And to compliment the "in your face" nature of lictors and mawlocs, I went with 5 FMCs to essentially wreck as much havoc as possible turn 2 while the tervigon camps the rear spawning troops and taking objectives while the opponent is forced to deal with a helluva lot of MCs as early as turn 2.

you need more troops, drop the trygon prime for either mawlocs and gants our just troops like warriors etc. what every combination you want but don't be suckered into thinking synapse is that important for your mcs. most have feed and all are single model units which means they instantly go to devourer and they are all at least ld8 (crones 10). bassically all you do is if your mawlocs for some reason fail you can just burrow with no effect... not that failing has any effect anyway. maybe it matters with lictors but I doubt they will live long enough to matter

I don't have the dataslate so I dont know but drop as many lictors as you can, points better spent on changing that harpy to another crone or taking some of the fantastic elites like zoets or venoms... or more troops to capture objectives

personally lictors are 50 points and I have never needed them so I wouldn't take them but I know everyone else likes them so if you are going to take them im not going to stop you.

and drop crushing claws on the tervigon its not 5th ed anymore so against a good player you will never use them... unless they play daemons in which case if you use them you got lucky
