Prime joins each unit of Gants.

I would have to dbl check the points but I'm fairly certain you are over points for 750. If my math is right you are at 785.

As for the list.. I'm not really seeing the synergy... 2 small gant units will die fast and you then have no scoring at all.. two walking CC primes just seems a waste.. that is a lot of points that may never see action. Are you playing on a 4x4?


You don't really need more than 2 zoans in a unit, if you really want 3, then do a unit of 2 and a solo one. gives you more chances to roll for catalyst that way.

I would drop the Fex and go with a brood of 3x Biovores. At 750, you won't need very much anti-tank.

Also, if you drop a Zoan and a Guard, you can take two Venoms. Thair +2 to cover will go a LONG way in helping you out.

As for your Warrior Primes, I would cut 1. Use the points to get a BS or VC for the other w/ STs and put it with the Termas.

Or give it the super crab claws that give PE and STs and then use the extra points to turn a terma unit to hormas. Bulk it out with bodies onlly.

Because, right now, your Primes are CC only but you have no other CC only units. If you want to get the Prime into CC then you have to forgo shooting.
