Do you think this list could ever work? I think i could use the psyker phase to my advantage and still get a lot of objectives with gants. What do you think???

List is pretty solid, really; for Tyranids. Might want to invest in Hive Crones. Tyrants have a hard time with AV 12, though not impossible. Tyrannocytes for the Tervigons might not be a bad idea either.

well that is why electro grubs is there haha what actually scares me a lot is the damn TAU.... I cant win a single game versus them -.-

have uever used an all stealer list? it could work well against the tau.

No i havent... I was gonna try a list with pure mawlocs and flyrants which could be the solution but i could try ur idea !

Instead of mawlocs I would do a small fex brood. One stock. One dakka

Do you accept Forgeworld? because if you do I highly recommend the Malanthrope to bring your list to the next level.

maybe 2 tervigon is too much, its a decent choice but there is more efficient ways to use your points,
I would recommend Dakkafexes.
A team of 2 leaves you 25pts to upgrade 6 Termagaunts into devourer wielder which will last pretty long if they hide behind the 24 other fleshborer wielders.

Both adrenial glands

Not bad. But... I consider Tervigons a little over priced for what you get. When I run one, I like to Outflank it with Hive Commander. If it were me, I would drop one Tervigon, and the x30 Termagant Brood, and spend those points some place else.

That is 330 points. You can get a lot of table power for that. Off the top of my head, I would add a second Veno, to babysit the LAN to protect from counter battery attacks (eliminating your Artillery, usually using their artillery) and toss in a Zoey. If you can swap in a Malanthrope (pricey in Dollars, and not always welcome (FW) ) that would be very helpful.

Then fill that empty Third Heavy slot. You'd have 195 left? Hive Commander, 175, a Dakkafex runs 150, 25 left...? Likely toss in some Devourers if you can't find anything else... (If you put a Malanthrope in your points total will differ)

My "go to" answer for Tau is Mawloc, so that should help. And getting a Tervigon with a Thorax hive into the backfield will help even more. Just hunt his/her Markerlights, and you should do "OK" just make sure you use terrain, and play Maelstrom as much as possible.

really helpful ty mate !

I think it's a pretty strong list. I actually like the use of two tervigons. You should be able to swamp your opponent with bodies and force him to choose where to throw his markerlights.

I'm a little iffy about the mawlocs. While they are very nice against tau, they don't really mesh with the rest of the list. I would rather use the 280 points to take some other things to help your swarm, such as: a second venomthrope, maybe a crone to help out your flyrants, or a tyrannofex. All would add some more durability and fire magnets. If you are going to have a ton of little term broods running around, take things like tyrannofexes and tervs that you can hide behind near a venomthrope to get 3+ cover.

ok so i should remove my 2 mawloc and place:

Tyrannofex + electro 185
Venomthrope 45
zoanthrope 50

280 pts ??
