Hey all, I'm taking place in a2k (1,000/1,000) doubles tourney next weekend. Our partners are actually a blind date so I wont have any sort of pre-determined synergy. Therefor I was hoping to build a list that plays to my strengths instead of trying to play with any specific army or against any type of offense.(And I'm having a TON of trouble doing it.) My list is as follows.

hive tyrant (280)
hive commander
regen
2x TL devourer w/ Brainleech
wings

genestealer brood(220)
1x Broodlord
regen
toxin sacs

10x genestealers
toxin sacs

termagant brood (80 pts)
10x t-gants
10x devourers

carnifex brood (360 pts.)
2x carnifex
2x TL devourers w/ Brainleech worms each
regen

This points to 1000 even. The issue I see with it is a lack of synapse. And not much HORDE for a horde-army. This seems like it would be one rolling bubble of dakka. The idea may be to infiltrate the gants in somewhere and let them do their thing. On the plus side there's a lot of survivability. But not a lot of scoring. I'm having a lot of trouble finding a good list-combo in this new dex, but I'm not ready to give up on my bugs. Help?

Hey!

First of all, Regen isn't that good since it is only 1 wound per turn. Regen on Broodlord is a waste of points. If it were me I would drop Regen and go for a Zoanthrope and a Venomthrope, Venomthropes give a crazy cover save for when you advance up. Otherwise it looks pretty solid.

okay so I dropped one genestealer. So now I have 9 stealers and 1 broodlord without regen. And added a zoanthrope to give the extra synapse I was looking for. Thank you so much!

Do both Carnifexes have Regen, or just one? When I run more than one Carnifex, I only give Regen to the one in front, because they take all the wounds from shooting (being closest to the firer). That way, the one that actually gets wounded has the chance to recoup wounds, and you have 30 more points to play with.
