Hello, I'm trying something diffrent this time, so any suggestions are welcomed.

Strategy; tervigons are bubblewrapped with termagaunts, and together with hormagaunts they swarm towards the enemy. Gargoyles go for objectives, biovores sit tight at home-field objectives with spore mines, lictors are the wild card (either for objectives or distractions). Added some venomthropes for extra protection to warlord.

I would consider dropping a tervigon for a trygon prime so the horms have some synapse to stick around. Looks very Hydra-y but I worry about lists with large numbers of vehicles or monstrous creatures, you have lots of short range fire power but you’ll be wounding the big stuff on 5 pluses. Looks fun though

Have you considered double batallion? I just fint lictors completely useless. spore mines too. You can easily swap them out for a neurothrope. He can be the WL in your army untargetable in the midst of a ton of termagants. Pretty thematic

It'll also deny your opponent easy unit kills, because you can merge the biovores and gargoyles.

I agree with @warren0110 horms are gonna be alone up there, unless you conga line for synapse

Good points, thanks. Theme behind this set up is tervigons acting as a brood mother (kind alike alien 2). Not sure about relic yet, maybe a norn crown could fill the synapse role.

Wolud higly recommend to not take the crushing claws! Hitting on 5s... not fun

Yeah, those tervigons are rarely going to combat themself, my warlord is just to be a tough cookie to crumble. LOL.

While your bringing a ton of bodies horde style I think your going to have a tough time actually killing stuff. While it's true that death by a 1000 cuts is a thing this edition I would add maybe 40 stealers to this list and drop the hormies and gargoyles or maybe 1 of the tervigons plus some hormies.

Would echo taking double battalion, only take 2 Tervigons, and then take 2 Nueors for synapse. Drop lictors, combine the gargoyles into 1 large 20 blob. Lose 2 CP, but you aren't dumping points on lictors and spores and spreading out and thinning your units.
