FLGS is starting up a 40k league, beginning at 500 points. For this list, I'm focusing on delivering the most Dakka (Ranged shots) possible, using the Venoms as a shield


== HQ ==
Hive Tyrant (1) - Twin-Linked Devourer - Brainleech Worms, Twin-Linked Devourer - Brainleech Worms, Regeneration = 225 pts.

== Elites ==
Venomthrope (1) = 45 pts.
Venomthrope (1) = 45 pts.

== Troops ==
Termagant Brood (72 pts.)
Termagant (6) - Spinefists = 24 pts.
Termagant (6) - Devourer = 48 pts.
Genestealer Brood (5) = 70 pts.
Termagant Brood (10) - Fleshborer = 40 pts.

== Total ==
497 pts.

Looks nice. I don't know if the Stealers will earn their points though. You might get more value out of a Brood of Hormagaunts (x 14) ? Or some Gargoyles......

I considered dropping them, but didn't know what to replace them with, as I dont have any gargoyles at hand. I could throw in some Hormagaunts, but thats not very Dakka-like.

You could replace the Genestealers and Regen for a group of Warriors for a bit more synapse and dakka - Barbled Strangler might be helpful to pin your opponent down and make it harder to fire at your troops. Just a thought

True, but they are replacing Stealers, who Dakka not at all. Basicly you're swapping for the same function, but with more durability, and table presence. Gargoyles at least have guns though.

If you have warriors to give synapse to the guys, you can let your Hive Tyrant go wild and give him wings. In such a small point game that could be very deadly.
