Trying to get a good base down for my list

HQ
Tervigon - scything talons, stinger salvo
Swarmlord

Troops
16 genestealers - toxin sacs
20 termagants - 10 fleshborers, 10 devourers, toxin sac
12 termagants - fleshborers, toxin sacs
3 warriors - each with devourer, scything talons and toxin sacs

Elites
3 Hive guard with impalers
3 venomthropes
3 zoanthropes

Heavy support
Exocrine
Trygon

Transport
Tyrannocyte


I'm wondering if three hive guard with shock cannons would be better than the exocrine. It would save some points. I should be able to put on turn one pressure but also have some guy for the mid and backline of the board. The tyrannocyte and trygon give me flexibility in getting units where they need to be. I have a unit of 12 termagants for screening and the tervigon could replenish either of those units.

It doesn't look too bad. Are you playing Points (Comp) or Power levels? If you're using points, then Toxic for the Gants is wasteful, and you don't need to buy full Broods od Thropes...so it depends how you'll be most often playing...


What rides in the Tyrannocyte? It's an expensive "ride", so it should have a specific use in mind, I'm guessing the Devilgants+ Termagants? If so then I think it can work, and down the road, you can build a big ugly to put in there.


Good Luck! And welcome to the Hive Mind!

3 Zoanthropes are not effectiv you need at least 4 better 5 in case one dies early.
