Mucolid spores are really nice, they actually could allow you to have 8 flyrants in a 200pts army but only half of them would have Electroshoc grubs.

240 1x Flyrant / 2x TL dev / Egrub
240 1x Flyrant / 2x TL dev / Egrub
240 1x Flyrant / 2x TL dev / Egrub

230 1x Flyrant / 2x TL dev

total 2000pts

So thats 8 flyrants and 8 mucolid spores.
Seems pretty good but for real competitive environment you need the egrubs to face off against all those imperial knights, jinking skimers and land raiders. so I'm thinking something like this would actually be better

45 3x Ripper swarms / Deepstriking
45 3x Ripper swarms / Deepstriking

275 1x Dimachaeron / Tyranocid

total 2000pts


so this is 6 Flyrant (all with egrubs) 13 mucolid spores all deepstriking, 2 ripper swarm to help with objectives and a dimachearon since all my flyrants arent armed for CC and the army should be able to blast/shoot /haywire template the enemy well enough and I feel an extra strong close combat threat being dropped exactly where it needs to be will finish the enemies morale.

does this loook as competitive to you as it does for me?
and even seems kindof fun too. despite the over spaming

Ugh. Unbound list.


Peregrine - If you like the army buy it, and don't worry about what one random person on the internet thinks.

If someone brought that to my table, I would pick my models back up, go to another table and play someone else.

Or just go home. That doesnt sound like a fun game to play at all.

Yeah, 8 Winged Dakka'rants looks like too much of a good thing. 6 probably is the limit before you start losing more than you gain. I think I'd use 6 Mucolids, and invest the rest in "other things", so that would be 90 points? That should let you get another Troop Brood or two.

The goal is hyper competitive, I would never a list like this for a casual game, this is more of a test list to try to rival all of those ubercheese lists

Its not unbound tho
Its 3-4 CAD

I have a feeling that mucolid require over saturation to really start doing its thing, with only 6 your only likely to get 4 deepstrike on the board and the nemy should be able to shoot a way clear. Its gonna be much harder with 10 surrounding him

Yeah, it's a new unit, so it will take a while to get it figured out. I was mostly thinking that Winged Death #7 and 8 might not have enough to do. So I would toss in some extra Rippers or something like that.

If you get the chance, please let us know how it does...inquiring Hive Minds want to know!
