Looking for some feedback. Looking at creating a list that I can bring to any game and have a good chance. What do you all think?

HQ
2x Flyrants. Both with TL Devourers. 1 with regen (Warlord).

Troops
30x Termagants. 19 Fleshborers, 11 Devourers.
1x Tervigon

Elites
3x Hiveguard as a brood. 3x Impaler Cannons
2x Venomthropes.

Heavy Support.
3x Dakka Fex. Brood. all with 2 TL Devourers.
2x Mawlock.

Fortification.
Aegis Defence Line.

1849 points.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
People on Facebook have said it might be an idea to drop the defence line and the hiveguard.

With that ive put it

2x Units of 12 Hormagaunts stock
2x Units Zoanthropes.

I would drop regeneration and get Electroshock grubs on both Flurants. I would the Aegis for 3 Mucolids then split the Carnifexes into 3 units of 1. You'll rarely want 36 shots at the same target. More target saturation is better.

Yeah, lots or ways to go...1) lose Regen, add two Thorax hives, save 10. Put a Thorax on the Tervigon. Find 20 points, and you can Outflank the Tervigon, or any other Troop, (I like this one a Lot)

I like having twin Mawlocs, but I would trim one Dakkafex, and spend 150 on some thing else.

I don't really like Hive Guard, so I would lose all three, and put in x2 Zoey Brood, save 50 points

That gives you 200 to spend, and that is a Lot of points. If you like Shooty, take a look at putting in a Living Artillery Node. It rawks, but you might not have the figures for it.

One way to spend some of those points: Lose one Mawloc, save 140, split the Dakkafexen into two Broods. Buy two Pods (150 points) 190 left, get Hive Commander, 170 left. Buy a Exocrene, or get Comm array for Aegis, and buy some Warriors with a Cannon. Etc..

Good luck! And welcome to the Hive Mind!

Looks playable. But you can streamline more if you wish...all sorts of ways to go. You might want to expirement with the Gargoyles to see if you like running two small Broods, or one big one. At 1850 it is usually a good idea to put a Formation in, so you should consider that as an option as well.

But you should playa few games to see what suits your personal "style".

I would split the Fexes into units of 1 likewise for the Zoanthropes and Venomthropes. Splitting the fexes allows you to split their fire and engage more units, splitting the Venoms gives more coverage and splitting the Zoes doubles the Warp Charge and gets you an extra power and wider Synapse coverage.

Thanks for the feedback. I was looking at formations, but thought that while im learning the army it's best to keep it simples for now

Ill split them up and take a CAD to be able to support 4 eletes and 4 heavies.
