Hey guys recently i had an idea for a pretty awesome army list. I do not own the new codex but i know all the changes. But if my points are a little off my bad. In any case heres the idea

Flying Hive Tyrant W/hive commander upgrade=265 pts
10 Genestealers=140pts
10 Genestealers=140pts
1 Lictor=65pts
1 Mawloc=140pts
1 Trygon Prime=200pts

994 points.

The idea with this list is to infiltrate the genestealers and the lictor and follow up with a trygon and mawloc from reserve for Str 6 AP 2 pie plate awesomeness. The Flying tyrant i think is needed so that he can supply synapse to everything that is infiltrated on turn 1 or 2 for fearlessness. Then the trygon prime arrives from reserves (no scatter) and an all out assault happens on turn two. I have one question though. Does hive commander and lictor pheremone trail stack benefits. Then every reserve coes in on a two plus. Thanks guys

Your points are a little off, but you know that... If you're doing the Lictor thing, why not two Mawlocs? the Prime can infiltrate /outflank with a Brood to provide backfield Synapse. Big Bugs are extra tasty in low point games, so the Wormeys should be good workers.

Thats an interesting point. I forgot IC's could do that. Hmm. Only issue i see is what about room? 6 inches away from the lictor (18 inches away from enemy..usually) gives me not much room to work with for mawlocs. I really like this idea though. However i would have nothing for flyers and i already have a trygon prime (not warrior). I believe you misread trygon prime for warrior prime.

Yes I did Well Trygon Prime is a very impressive Big Bug, and can jam into the backfield with ease.

Lictors Deepstrike without error, and get extra get close mojo from their Camo powers I think in any case the real challenge is keeping the Lictor Alive. You can Go to Ground when shot at, and Big Wormey can tunnel in without error, being in Synapse causes the Lictor to pop back up.

Anything close to the Lictor gets eaten by a Mawloc. Then Team Wormy can rampage around the backfield giving the enemy a real headache

As for "nothing for fliers?" You have a FMC Dakka'rant

Thanks man! i had the exact same thought process. Lictor is lynchpin. When i hit 1500 ill get 2 more and 30 hormagaunts and a WARRIOR PRIME (haha)

Lictors infiltrate 10 18" before turn one. Turn on they can get 7-12" closer assuming your targets have not gotten closer to you. He has to be on the turn before the Mawloc for the phermone trail to work. So DS him the same turn is not going to help.

Agreed. I did not plan on deepstriking but you reminded me that he can move after he infiltrates so thanks!

This list is awesome! Definitely want to take it for a test drive. Have you tried it out yet? What biomorphs/upgrades have you put on?

What synapse do you have for the lictor mawloc group if you deep strike them in?

so if you ran 2 mawloc could you deep strike one next to lictor, do the damage, next turn tunnel him into reserve, then deep strike the other? next turn deep strike the first and tunnel the second?

Also this really excites me.... at 2000 points you could make an exciting list, infiltrate and deep strike the gak out of them.... a few cones and another flyrant....
