Well... I've got about a hundred different ways I could throw this
together but I think my basic build so far is going to be twin Flyrants,
twin Tervigons for midfield holding, twin Devilgaunts for dakka, two
units of Hive Guard, one unit of Zoanthropes, plus... X.
I can
run the Hive guard in two's or threes. I can take Gargoyles or no, and
have played around a bit with Genestealers (once on the board, but
mostly just thinking about them).
Here seems to be a fairly solid configuration which I will hope to test soon:
Hive Tyrant, Wings, Devourers x 2
Hive Tyrant, Wings, Devourers x 2
Hive Guard x 2
Hive Guard x 2
Zoanthrope x 2 (Almost always will swap powers for Biomancy for support)
Tervigon, Catalyst, Onslaught, Adrenals, Toxins, Crushing Claws
Tervigon, Catalyst, Onslaught, Adrenals, Toxins, Crushing Claws
Termagants x 10, Devourers
Termagants x 10, Devourers
Termagants x 11
Termagants x 11
Carnifex, Devourers x 2
Carnifex, Devourers x 2
So
there's really nothing super radically different from several 5th
edition lists I had posted, but what I feel has changed is that the Hive
Tyrants now add a new dynamic to the army, helping with Jaws,
buffing/debuffing, and absorbing shots that otherwise would take down
the Tervigons/Carnifexes too early.
I see this army trading
shots with the enemy, losing the Tyrants, the Fexes, and possibly even
the Hive Guard, but ultimately dominating the midfield and winning the
game with both Tervigons alive (which can bat cleanup much more
effectively in this edition).
Unlike in 5th, I am not overly
concerned with light armor spam, nor am I greatly concerned about Land
Raiders. What I WILL struggle greatly against will be flyers, but I have
six units in the army that, with some luck, can at least try and
address them, and possibly more depending upon what psychic discipline I
decide on pre-game.
The most obvious switch up for this list would be dropping the Crushing Claws and Scything Talons off the Tervigons and changing the naked Termagants into Gargoyles with Adrenals and Toxins. Both have their advantages.
Thoughts?
