1x Tyrant Guard; Lash Whip @ 65

Hive Tyrant; Scything Talons (x2); Adrenal Glands; Wings; Hive Commander; Leech Essence; Paroxysm @ 265      

Obviously, the swarmlord and a tyrant eat up a big chunk of points. Swarmy is a scary guy and he likes to eat 3++ termies. I think he is worth every point provided you are using him to the fullest. His Alien Cunning rule is obviously vital to the list, ensuring that the reserves come in on turn 2 on a 2+ and allowing me to outflank to the position I choose with ~90% accuracy. His 18" buff on the big genestealer unit is going to hurt people. He is slogging and slow, but he can survive a turn of shooting with a 4+ cover save (thanks to the guard) and 2 extra wounds (thanks to the guard) if he takes 2 or 3 wounds on himself in the first round he has leech essence to heal up. Anyways, unless he is killed round one, he's not going anywhere.

The tyrant was a hard build to decide on. I went with this version because 1) he's cheap compared to ofther tyrant builds, 2) the 2x dev is a nice but doesn't synergize with psychic shooting attacks, 3) the furious charge and 2 scytals version can chase down and hit fast vehicles which could give the list trouble otherwise.   

2x Hive Guard @ 100

2x Hive Guard @ 100

2x Hive Guard @ 100

No need to explain these. Reliable and durable.

1x Tervigon @ 195
Catalyst; Adrenal Glands; Toxin Sacs

16x Genestealer Brood @ 224

9x Genestealer Brood @ 126

9x Genestealer Brood @ 126

The "bomb": Big genestealers outflank accurately and the tervigon outflanks to the same spot. 16x genestealers outflanking with FNP on turn 2; its a gimmick, but its not easy to deal with. The two 9x genestealer units can be infiltrated or outflanked for additional headaches. The additional termagants spawned by the tervigon can go tie up shooters while the genestealers do their woork and the swarmlord and 6 HG take centerfield.

14x Gargoyles @ 84

Screening the HT.

17x Termagaunts @ 85

Screening the HG units who in turn screen the swarmlord.

I'm going to order the rest of the models this week and get to it. I'm really looking forward to converting up some of these units.

If anyone has any input, please don't hesitate to post.
