P.S. I wont have access to a codex until next week so I don't have point values.

You need venomthropes, HVC on the hive tyrant is waaay outclassed by a second TL devourer.

Why the deathleaper? He is 'meh' at best, and you dont even have anything that benefits greatly from deepstrike.


Also, i just calculated your point total, this list is over 2100 points. If youre new to the hobby you should start with 500-750 point games. Maybe 1000 if you have friends who already have that much, or have prior expierience.

OK. I will drop the HVC for another DEV and drop one zoanthrope for a unit of venomthropes. I have several friends with 1500+ lists and 2+ years experience. Long story short it took me a long time to decide on an army.

p.s. I took the deathleaper cause my friend plays Eldrad and my other plays Tigerius. because SitW doesn't stack, I took a deathleaper as a bonus. I also love the concept.
