This is the list. Big blob in the middle which prefers not to move for shots and +1 to saves. I am looking for a way to drop something in the enemy lines to keep them occupied while the rest take up possitions. The Neurothrope plus the Zoanthropes would do the trick but I cant think of a way to deliver them without a) loosing synapse b) spoiling the brigade

I would combine the Termies into 2x 30 mans to get the rerolls.

Not sure on the lictor after he took the nerf bat in the face, would be interesting to see what use you get out of him.
I would drop a zoanthrope to fill the 2 troop slots you free up with 2x more ripper units.

Jormy gunline will revolve around warriors, carnifex, Tyranofex, and devilgaunts.

I would run something like this:

Use the tunnel strat to put the warriors and prime into the tunnels. Mucoloids and lictors in deep strike. Have the rest deployed on your lines and ready to move forward and fire.


This list is CP intensive so you really need a brigade or at least 2 battalions. Plenty of scoring units, lots of shots, options on what to doubleshot with (the 5 hive guard or the 9 warriors). Not alot of high strength shooting so you cant expect to take out anything Toughness 8 very easily, but you can certainly handle most targets with sustained fire.

Thanks for the input, what does the tervigon bring to the table?

Well you're Jormondgandr, so you can Tunnel You can add some Raveners, or a Mawloc for a cheap "taxi". While you're moving points around you should also add in a unit of Impaler Hive Guard for some extra shooting. Good luck! And good hunting!

Tervigon keeps your gaunts alive in your backfield, scoring objectives all game and denying your opponent from an easy backstab. It also potentially soaks some heavy weapon fire from the rest of your army.

to use that stratagem you need raveners, trygon or mawloc and you have none.

actually, you have rippers.

rippers wont work with statagem if you read "raveneres, trygon, mawloc" only in that stratagem.

Well my bad, in that case its not a big deal though. Drop the 3 warrior squad for a ravener squad and another ripper squad.
