I have joined a Escalation league that starts at 2000 and goes to 4000 over the next few months.
MY 2500 list I am facing tau, eldar, SM, CSM, DA and crons. I have been having problem with the two eldar list. Any thought on improving the list for the next jump to 3000.

I was thinking of adding the swarmlord and a guard. Plus one more unit of ymgarl genestealer to go to 3000
Thank for all the help.

You need more meatshields.

Gargoyles with sacs make the best ones. Cheap, effective and a good distraction.

Also as your army isnt exactly fast moving try some biovores to kill off some lightly armored units.

Bear in mind your tyrants can generate powers from the BRB, take powers from Biomancy every time.

At 2k and above you get double force org and i agree some more troops are needed.

Personally i feel a nid troop section should only contain 2 things. Termagaunts and Tervigons, and in fairness the termagaunts are only there to allow the tervigon.

grab another unit of 10 terms and a terv. and spare points afterwards i would spend on hive guard.

Gargoyles would be a good pick. how about 15 more genestealer. Tervigons are good but get one dimensional after awhile.

Does the troop choice's double with the force org like the rest do.
Biovores will need to make a showing soon. So many good options. to pick from.
