So with some up dating and playing with points. I think I have come up with my list to play this year in the ITC. I played a tournament with this already without the ADL and with Mawlocs.


I decided to drop them for something that will be more reliable, I hope. Biovores I think are going to be needed vs. the new Necrons. I do gain more kill point in kill points games but I think the trade off is being able to target 3 units if needed. Also if the miss they make more spores that can then attack or block paths.

This is more of a theoretical question....Couldn't you run Leviathan as your main, and use a Living Artillery Node? You'd still have 3 Tyrants, and LAN makes for a more dependable fire platform... It would likely save some points that you could plow back into more other items like Old Adversary.....

Nothing wrong with what you've got...just thinking "out loud"

The will of the hive is always the same: HUNGER

The only problem is you can't take a ADL with the Leviathan. The list needs the Comm's relay to be consistent.
