Well, some basics...Tervigons are only Troops if you take a Brood of Termagants x30, so one of those should be converted. Walking Tyrants don't live long without Tyrant guard, and often die anyway. So the recommended build is Wings, two sets of Brain Leeches, and a Thorax hive for 240.

Regen is almost always a waste of points, so its best to spend those points elsewhere.....

With three Biovores, and a Brood of Warrior, I'd look at adding an Exocrene for the "Living Artillery Node" It is very good.

Here is a suggested "template" for a powerful 1500 point army Battle forged.

HQ: Winged Dakka'rant, Hive Commander 260
HQ: Winged Dakka'rant (Wings x2 Brain Leeches, Thorax hive with Electro grubs)

Elite: Venothrope 45
Elite Zoanthrope 50
Elite: Zoey 50

Troops: Termagant Brood, x30 120
Troops: Tervigon: Thorax hive: Electro grubs 205

Heavy: Mawloc 140

Living Artillery Node: 390
Warrior Brood, x3, Venom Cannon
Exocrene
Biovore Brood, x3

I think that is pretty close to 1500, and can beat most anyone.

Thanks!

Agree on the living artillery node. Allows you to reroll scatter and gives your exocrine/biovores/warriors pinning.
