Like lots of people I am trying out new lists and think this could be close to my final 1850 list. Feedback welcome!

This list has a good amount of synapse and plenty of shooting.

not sure where to put the last 10 points. comments?

9 models to grab objectives is going to be tough IMO. Not to mention if they just focus fire those 3 units they can probably down them in a turn or two with basic bolter fire. While it might look scary on the table with 6 big monsters, it won't be able to grab many objectives.

If you can, try to squeeze in an adl, gives you a turn 1 2+ cover. That is insane for nids really. My suggestion is consider whether only 10 gargoyles is worth the lesser survivability or take upgrades of warriors to fit it seeing as in squads of 3 they will die quickly anyway. Just my thoughts take them or leave them. Good luck

updated list, added more scoring units and the void shields for protection. Those combined with the venomthropes should offer decent protection for the warriors. I really think warriors will end up becoming the core troops choice now as tervigons are no longer worth it IMO and you need lots of synapse.

Stranglewebs? That is an S2 weapon so needs a 6+ to wound a T4. It is probably the worst weapon in the game.

good point! I didn't realize it was only str 2...seems useless like you pointed out. I will swap for 1 more gant.
