Not bad...one small nit pick, I suggest you put a Thorax Hive on the Tervigon, for 10 more points, you get a major upgrade in effectiveness.

Other random suggestions...One: Start playing a 1000 or so, not 2000 if you are just getting started. Second, you have 3 Biovores, and an Exocrene, so yoy should look at running "Living Artillery" (you just need a Warrior Brood, and you have one of those up above)

That frees up two "Heavy" slots, so you can split out the Carnifexen, and or add more. Just make sure you think about screening them with "Gaunts to improve their durability.

In any case, good luck! And welcome to the Hive Mind!

FYI this load out is 215. for 2 devourers it is 230.


Harpy (135) or Crone (155)


Crone everything dude. Harpies are pretty useless unfortunately.

I'm unsure if you realise but a few more things are off in pts values, maybe recheck them mate.

Looks much nicer. I suggest you trim some Hormagaunts and add Hive Commander, so you can Outflank the Tervigon. That will cause headaches for your foe. One other minor nitpck is Living Artillery gives "pin" to it's componites, so to maximize the benefit, you should use a Venom Cannon. Strangle Cannon is my preference for all other uses, but inside a LAN, the Venom is a little better.
