I really like the list. I have started toying around with bringing genestealers (to bring the Broodlord) and use the G2G trick to weather lots of fire.

I think you would get a lot of use out of a Armored shell Tyrant with a guard (for CC). Flyrant is just too easy to take down and the 2+ save in CC is great to bounce those power weapon wounds off. He's a little slow, but roll Biomancy for Warp Speed and you've got Fleet for additional speed.

My most recent variant on your list doesn't have the Trygons and fills in Swarmlord, 2 Zoans, 2 Hive guard, 2 Biovores, and a flock of Gargoyles.

Update us on the how it plays! I've never used 3 Trygons but I can totally see how they'll give opponents trouble!

I think that this list will have quite a lot of trouble against WS spam lists and Necron air force, but hopefully in these situations you'll be able to control their movement with the genestealers and spawned gants....hopefully :-)

Your genestealers will die. Ymgarl genestyealers do a better job. Same goes for the deathleaper.

I prefer mawlocs over trygons. Mawlocs can burrow first turn and deepstrike all at the same time turn two. Their S6 ap2 template hits on rear armor and can really do a number on expensive infantry with armor 2/3. With rage and/or smash those mawlocs can also hurt a lot of stuff in close combat. I also love the fact that the can denied objectives last turn when the pop up and also claim linebreaker.

I like the idea about the burrowing mawlocs so I think I will upgrade one trygon to a prime for some synapse and swap the other 2 for mawlocs for some gunline busting (silly tau) and toss some TS on the tervigons for the buff to my gants.

Why do you need synapse? Theirs nothing in you list that really needs synapse apart from the guants but the will keep close to the tervigons anyway. Trygons are not really feared anymore. The face problems against wraithknights, Chaos Daemon MC's and even riptides. But Mawloc's can also 'hit and run' and with them you got better board control. Only thing I dont like is the fact that Mawloc's got no 'fleet' so you really need to drop them close for a second turn assault.

Mawlocs are fantastic as they can land in the middle of your opponents army and distract them while the tervgons plant themselves on objectives. They are great for killing scoring units as well.

If you go 2nd they are even better as you can set them up to deepstrike on top of objectives and contest with them.

My buddy convinced me to use them at nova and I can't tell you how many games they won me.

The more and more I hear about their deep striking threat the more I start to love them (and if ebay is loving me enough I might be able to be able to bring this to the renegade GT)
