I'm looking to field a pair of Tervigon's in my 1500pt force, along with roughly 30 termagants.

My question is; How many termagants will I need to get in order to reasonably fulfil the spawning's of my Tervigon's... 50? 60?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349133/2484492.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349133/2484492.page GMT Tervigon Progenitor - How many Gants? 3d6 are 10 or 11 (10.5 mathematical average). I think each Tervigon has about a 44% chance of running out per roll. So just under 50/50.

30 should be fine for average situations, but remember that above and below average events happen frequently too. If you're playing regularly, you're still going to see a lot of games where you only need 15-20, and a good number of games when you need 40 or more. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349133/2484577.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349133/2484577.page GMT Re:Tervigon Progenitor - How many Gants?
Field the minimum 20 gaunts and then have 30 spare. Certanly in KP games you may not even want to spawn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349133/2484586.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349133/2484586.page GMT Tervigon Progenitor - How many Gants?
I usually field so I bring 42 (the magic number!) Termagants and have yet run into problems with a lack of models.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349133/2485697.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349133/2485697.page GMT Tervigon Progenitor - How many Gants?

So your saying that more get killed than the ability of the Tervigon's to replicate more termagant's? Fair doo's, useful to know. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349133/2485987.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349133/2485987.page GMT Tervigon Progenitor - How many Gants?
Also I see that I missed a "two" in my text as in "I usually field two so I...."

When using two Tervigons I bring a bag of 42 extra Termagants, in addition to the two ten-man (ten-bug?) strong units I usually field with the Tervigons.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349133/2487619.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349133/2487619.page GMT Tervigon Progenitor - How many Gants?

Ah well, that makes more sense; Bring +42 gants in additional the the pre-requisite 2x10 gants.

I thought you meant that with a total of 42 on the field to begin with, the balance of loosing gants to casualties compared to the addition of spawned gants equals out. But this is only when when you include that bag'o'gants (which is an awesome concept btw) is taken into account.

So.. I need more termagants. Gratz! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349133/2489117.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/349133/2489117.page GMT
