So the Codex is out and this is my first list I've hammered out. We start with Two Trygons in reserve with hormagaunts and genestealers as well as rippers and the Flyrant with Scythes of Tyran. The rest sets up in the backfield laying down firepower. Malanthrope gives shroud and Nurothrope casts catylist on exocrines. Termagants are for screening. everything in the behemoth detachment that needs to make a charge has adrenal glands meaning we only need a 8 inch charge re rolling failed charges (except for genestealers who cant have them for some reason). So far the list has preformed fairly well making my friends space marine army fear the great devourer. Any suggestions welcome.

Looks interesting! I don't know that I would spend points for Adrenals on the Hormies though....you might find a better spot to spend those. Otherwise, it looks like a solid fire platform, with a DS T1, or T2. That should win some games.

Good luck! And good hunting!

I like it as well. Might want to consider Gorgon as well, as you are going to DS everything, and only need an 8, you can reroll one die with a CP on charges. Having the reroll of wounds would be good since you don't have the broodlord for the Genestealers. Its hard to say.

I really like this HT loadout though so you would lose that relic. Though i would tweak it, make it pure Close Combat. Drop the Devourers, take the 2x scy tals to get another attack. Now you can swap the WL trait b/c you are going to get the rerolls anyway. Take the Behemoth WL trait. You have 6 attacks now plus the tail. to hit on 6 gets more hits, wounds on 6 deal 5 damage! You do need to find 8 pts for the difference in cost, just drop bother your termagauts squads by 1 each.

Hive Tyrant [11 PL, 208pts]: Adrenal Glands, Monstrous Scything Talons 2x, Power: Psychic Scream, Power: The Horror, Scythes of Tyran, Toxin Sacs, Warlord Trait: Behemoth Monstrous Hunger, Wings

Oh we are deffintly doing that. I thought it replaced the rules but it only replaces the profile so might as well take em both and get the re rolls and damage. Alright we made those changes and now we have 18 points to play with any ideas?

The relic replaces the profile, but the relic says it only replaces monstrous scything talons, not a 2x monsterous scy tals.

So the way I read it you get +1 attack for taking the nromal 2x monstrous scy tals, then you are replacing on of the regular pairs with the relic and getting the other attack and benefits.

Not really much you can do other than fill out the Termagants.
