Tervi, Terma x3 broods - Spawning tervi must reroll 1s.

What do people think of this one, if I'm already taking a Tervigon?

Is this Tervigon a troops choice? Is forcing it to reroll 1's a good thing, even though that might cause it to hit doubles sometimes?

Basically, if I'm taking a Tervigon and a bunch of gaunts anyway, I'm just wondering about trying this out

Well, if the bland zero effort codex is being offset by extra awesome add ons I guess I can be placated.

I run a squad of 9 Shrikes: 9 Devourers, 7 Rending Claws, 2 Boneswords, 2 Flesh Hooks. Boneswords and Flesh Hooks are a much better buy than LW/BS here.

Flesh hooks are are a unit upgrade, not just per model, so make sure you got your point totals correct!

Thanks, no worries for list building as getting it on those other 7 is still a great idea.

It Can be a Troop, if you have a 30x Termigant Brood anywhere in your army....

And don't forget that you need two troops out side the formation as well (I'd suggest Warriors for Synapse...)

From earlier math, what you get is an overall small increase in brood size but you go through menopause more often. So, it's not a situation of "Drop babies every turn" so much as "Tactical birthing." It changes the playstyle.

Personally, I wouldn't go with it, but I'm not normal, so.

Same. Personally, keep to the standard FOC for Tervigons.

Would making use of the Endless Swarm (horms & terms), with one of those units a 30-strong squad, satisfy the Troop Tervigon condition? Then I could see some real use for Trygons!

Yes, the brood of 30 Termagants can be in any detachment you like, as long as it's in the same army you can take a Tervigon as a Troops choice.

**tag8833**

With the Living Artillery Formation, when I reroll the scatter on the brood of 3 BIovores, do I get to reroll the scatter of just the 1st shot, or also the 2nd & 3rd barrage scatters?

**PrinceRaven**

I believe you may reroll any of them.

**SBG**

As the rules state that you may re-roll the scatter dice when firing that specific weapon type, I would say yes.
