Whatchu think dakka?

Looks decent, would love to playtest it against my Tau or DA

If I wanted more big guns I could play it like this:

Swarmlord – 300pts
Flyrant – 211pts – 4x Deathspitter with Slimer maggots – Prehensible tail
Flyrant – 211pts – 4x Deathspitter with Slimer maggots – Prehensible tail

3x Tyrant guard – 111pts – Rending claws - Scytal

20x Genestealers - 240pts
24x Termagaunts - 156pts – 15x devourer
4x Tyranid Warriors - 89pts - double ScyTal - 1x Venom Cannon

3x Hive Guard - 144pts - Impaler Cannon
3x Hive Guard - 144pts - Impaler Cannon

Trygon Prime - 214pts – Biostatic Rattle - AG - (Devilgaunts)
Trygon - 179pts – Biostatic Rattle (Genestealers)

Total 1999pts - 9 deployments

Still nice low Deployment number of 9 to get first turn.

Lost a Trygon and devilgaunt team so a lot less little bodies, but some decent artillery through 2 units of hive guard and a warrior synapse babysitting with a venom cannon.

What's the plan for cutting through bubblewrap?

Flyrant, Trygons and Termagaunts shooting should be able to whittle down a lot of bodies

Am I missing something? You have to individually put each mawloc in reserves (counting as a deployment), total of 9 deployments, probably still going 1st.

I just understood a bit more how deployment goes
updated the lists
