I love the mawloc rules, but a trygon gives me deep strike options for hormogaunts. I might play with magnetization, never done it before but looks like a good option (if it works)

I wouldn't bank on the Trygon's hole ability. The only time I ever pulled it off was when I got the Reroll Reserves warlord trait and got lucky.

How is that tervigon equiped?

I'd give hime Electroshock Grubs and Crushing claws.

That'll destroy any vehicle they would bring, plus EG are template S5 AP5 (can get imperial guardsmen since they have 5+ sv)

Against necrons... your troop units won't have much to do but fire A LOT and pray they fail their 4+ o 3+ Sv, AND that annoying RP.

If your Tervigon reach melee combat will probably eat some up, pray yo get Catalyst power (FNP to the Psyker unit and target friendly tyranid unit) to get more survivability:
-If you get it with Tervigon give a unit of termagants FNP so both will have it.
-If one of the zoans gets it, give FNP to the Tervigon.
-If you get 2 psykers with Catalyst, always try to have your tervigon with FNP and a unit of termagants.

Also, against necrons, your best shot is using your zoanthropes (BS4) to manifest Warp Blast (Burst), S5 AP3 blast will most of the time hit where you want. This against troops, if the HQ is the problem, you should try to manifest Warp Blast (Lance) S10 would be ID against most of their HQ (T4 or T5) and making the reanimation protocol save 1 points worse, and as it's ID

And if you want your tervigon to never die, try giving him regeneration and rolling on personal Warlord Traits from BRB and get 6th (gives It Will Not Die) since it's a CAD you can reroll the Warlord Trait, that means you can regain 2 wounds per turn, and being a Tervigon W6 it's quite difficult they bring him down in 1 turn. Also, same table if you roll 5 it gives FNP.

Tervigons aren't characters so don't get to roll for a Warlord Trait.

I hadn't really put much thought into the equipment on the Hq choices for both lists, pretty limited at 500 points. Very hard to squeeze in units for synapse, anti-vehicle, 1 hq and 2 troop.

The winged hive tyrant is tempting but I wanna avoid being that guy... But I still want to win. Old one eye is very expensive for what he is by comparison

Wallur wrote:
Yes, Tyranid Prime would be a good option, since it has synapse and is Independent Character so it would get to roll Warlord Trait and may join Termagants broods to use as meatshield for LoS.
Tyranid prime with rending claw (+5) and deathspitter (+5) is just 135 pts, quite cheap

What if I go the other way?

Hive tyrant - wings, 2x twin linked devourers, elecro grubs
Mucolid spore
Mucolid spore
Zoanthrope
Zoanthrope
Mawloc

Or swap the hive tyrant for something like a prime initially to make it less of a dick move? Maybe swap it for a lictor or deathleaper for the mawloc placement.

This is hard

Edit: I've been out of the hobby for so long - you can't order individual parts from forge world? When was that dropped? Mucolids are an expensive option

It's sad that most lists I see pack in as many winged tyrants with devourers as possible. Such a shame. I read somewhere I may as well go :

2x Mucolid spores
2x winged hive tyrants with tw devourers and e-shock grubs

Lol

I think I'll try and go for the list I posted before :

Hive tyrant - wings, 2x twin linked devourers, elecro grubs
Mucolid spore
Mucolid spore
Zoanthrope
Zoanthrope
Mawloc

Do you guys think Using mucolids for troops in a friendly setting is abusive or necessary to retain an edge?

Even against op necrons?

Edit: our first game will be 300 points!

So I'm looking at - flyrant, 10 gaunts, 1 Mucolid spore
