Genestealers are quite fragile, so small broods tend to die quite easily, and also have limited offensive presence.

The Hive Tyrant on his own is also a magnet for any heavy weapons, and will probably not survive that long without either armoured shell or a tyrant guard or two.

I would tend to think that 4 Hive Guard is enough in 1000pts, since CC is now quite effective against vehicles.

Gargoyles would be a great addition to this list, as cheap fast-moving shields that can do damage to most things. This would take some heat off the stealers and provide a bit more mobility.


Hope this is useful.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/478675/4810298.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/478675/4810298.page GMT 2 reasons
addition of overwatch
removal of assault from reserves

best way to run them (if at all) large broods with a broodlord. re roll his power for biomancy and hope to not get one of the shooter powers.

Sadly genes are very expensive for how good they really are, they went from a really good choice in an army ith 5th.. to a mediocre choice... if points were to drop a bit or they get some rule amendments... then they will be worth it again.

Tyrants need some sort of defense. Personally i prefer armored shell. its cheaper than a hive guard and prevents missile spam marines or regular power weapons to do any sure fire damage.

I agree though, at 1k points those squads of 5 genestealers will be get torn up, and with only 1 synapse creature you'll be making a lot of morale tests.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/478675/4810930.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/478675/4810930.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/478675/4810943.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/478675/4810943.page GMT
