I have test played the new dex a few times now. Here is where I am in my 1850 list.

HQ Flyrant two twin-linked devourers and thorax biomorph electroshock beatles Hive Commander

HQ Flyrant two twin-linked devourers and thorax biomorph electroshock beatles

Elites: Zoanthrope brood ( 3 zoanthropes)

Elites: Zoanthrope brood ( 3 zoanthropes)

Elites: Venompthrope brood ( 1 venompthrope)

Heavy support: Carnifex Brood (3 carnifexes with two twin-linked devourers, regeneration)

Troops: Termagaunts (30 gaunts) 15 x felshborer and 15 x devourers toxic sacs

Troops: Termagaunts ( 30 gaunts) 15 x fleshborer and 15 x devourers toxic sacs

Fast attack: Hive Crone

Tactics: This is meant to be an all comers list that can handle a land raider. Turn one flyrants and crone can haywire the land raider down. If no raider, flyrants can str. 6 spam, and crone can vector strike.

Put the fleshorers up front to take wounds for devourers.

Zoanthropes will follow gaunts to provide synapse. gaunts can still assault fairly decent with poison

Venom will provide gaunts 5+ cover

Carnifexs: Option 1: follow gaunts. this will give a 3+ Cover (gaunts provide 5+ and venom gives them shroud) put venom behind carnifexes
Option 2: Outflank with Hive commander ability
Models take turns in the front. Wounded models go to the back so they can regen. on 4+ while the full health model soaks fire.

List strengths: dakka dakka dakka. gaunts are putting out 120 str 4 shots, flyrants are combining for 24 str 6 twin-linked, carnies are firing 36 str. 6 twin-linked shots also 3d3 str. 9 hammer of wrath. loota quality anti-air? maybe? Zoanthropes can put out 6 str 10 ap 2 lances. Model count. Swarm madness. Opponent may have target priority issues if flyrants survive (big if I know).

Weaknesses: not terrible in assault but not great. Range is not good. no long range shooting. Hopefully flyers can buy time for the army to get there.

Thoughts?

Not sure if i like the point investment in regen.

I like the list.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573924/6446560.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573924/6446560.page GMT
Just a suggestion. I like the gaunt tactic ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573924/6446588.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573924/6446588.page GMT
To get it to 1850, i would start by dropping the Toxin Sacs on the gaunts, Hive commander, and regen on one of the fexes. That should put you at 1850 on the nose.

I might think about three 3 squads of 20 with 10 devs and 10 Fleshborers vs. 2 squads of 30. More scoring units, same number of bodies and shots.

I'd also consider switching one Zoanthrope from either Brood to another venomthrope, but that's just my preference.

Love the Electroshock thorax on the flyrants, great idea for 10 points.
