How viable would this be? Plan would be to have the Hormagants run in the Trygon tunnels and have the Broodlords and genestealers paired together. Ripper swarms for late obj capture. Termagants follow the genestealers.

Hi! Nice list, I really like the swarm. But you might have problem with high T and with only 2 models with synapse... the model-placement will be hard!

Are you going for competitive or more casual games? With so many termagaunts, a Tervigon might be an idea. She will make them so much deadlier!

Termagants should be in the tunnel they pose a real threat turn one daka your opponent he will have to deal with them and not the oncomming hord.
watch out for bottle neks your army can really be hurt with terrain slowing it down because there is no room to move everyting at 1 time

I looked at the tervigon but the points wouldnt allow, i really want to maximize the swarms.

Synapse is an issue, but since it just shoot or attack the nearest unit (which i will be doing anyway) its not too much of an issue.

The idea is to play it like a true swarm. Like wave one, when the hive mind sends in the bugs to make the enemy use up all their ammo.

The other option, much more bloody, and i actually have the models primed, but not painted, would be this. Basically, forget about synapse and just charge forward.

Personally I would love some malenthrope in that list. With 3 malenthrope more you will get 3 battalltions ( 3+3 +3 + 3(standard)= 12 CP).

3 Malenthrope is 240 pts, BUT will be so worth it! -1 to hit to the whole army if you place them correctly and don't be afraid to charge in with them. With the Prey Adaptation, you will buff the whole army pretty easy.

I my opinion, the Malenthrope is a must in a swarmlist. It's not that hard to convert a malenthrope. A tyrant-tail and torax and then some green stuff: done! I'm awful at conversions and even I managed it

hmmm. thats a interesting Idea. I don't have any of those models since i just came back into the hobby. I think i will wait until the next codex and if they are still good pick up a few.

How big is your gaming table? Because this will not fit in a deployment zone. You have to many units of the same speed.
This will create bottle necks and slow your army down alot. You might want to check out gargoyles and ravangers they are faster then any thing on your list. They could be in combat turn 1

I have 3 raveners and 10 gargoyles, what would you swap?

Swap 16 genestealers for 3x 10 gargoyles, they can get to the objectives fast
