**Revised List**

Hive Tyrant 250

Hive Tyrant 250
2xTL Devourer brain leech
Hive commander
Wings

Tervigon 195

30 Termagants 120

Tervigon 195

30 Termagants 120

Zoanthrope 50

Zoanthrope 50

Hive Crone 155

Hive Crone 155

Harpy 140
TL Venom Cannon

Exocrine 170

Total: 1850

A slightly different approach here. I will use Hive Commander to give Outflank to the two Tervigons, allowing them to come in early and start applying pressure/popping out Tervigons on the opponent's doorstep right off the bat. The Hive Tyrants will fly with the Crones and Harpy to take out high value targets early on. One Zoanthrope stays with the Exocrine while the other will "manage" the two Termagant broods while they take objectives or rush up the field to get stuck in.

This list gives you 8 monstrous creatures, 7 of which hope to be in the enemy deployment zone by turn 2/3, along with two huge units of troops that cannot be ignored, or if they are will cause significant damage once they get in range.

What say the hive now? This seems really nasty to me and really opens up a lot of opportunities to disrupt static armies early on.

**Original List**

Hello!

If I remember correctly, then you need Hive Command on the Tyrants to let the Warriors flank

I would reccomend taking devourers with brainleech worms on the Tyrants, that would be a big threat to Vehichles and all kind of infantry. Other than this your list seems pretty solid. Hope you can use this.

Good catch there. Let me revamp appropriately.

You need synapse for the exo's.

You would be better flanking 1 squad of terms and 1 squad of warriors and adding some back field synapse.

Hmm...I guess I did neglect synapse for the exos. So right now I think I've got 40 points left. I was trying to avoid adding terms because frankly I've never enjoyed using them. Are there any alternatives? Seems 50 points is what I need for the cheapest synapse.

30 outstanding terms with synapse is epic. 90 s4 shots...

2 squads of troops is going to be hard to be competitive IMO as most are objective based games... Even though they are high Wounds but at T4 they get instagibbed pretty easy... If dropping hive commander I may try to get 30 gaunts to screen exocrines and warriors.. you may want to break up the warrior squads a bit make 4-5 man squads for more synapse..

I came to agree with you. Revised the list to include a more troop heavy early threat.

I like the list, but I have mixed feelings about outflanking both Tervigons.

It reduces your target saturation meaning that a smart opponent will target the Flyrants immediately. Whereas, if the Tervigons start on the board the opponent needs to decide against the Tervigons or the Flyrants.

Smart players will still focus the Flyrsnts down, but that gives you an extra turn of spawning gants since they won't be targeted immediately.

If you just had one Tervigon, it's be a little different story because with just one, you want to preserve that synapse so being in reserves can be advantageous.
