Right, I've made some of the suggested changes, as well as a few of my own when I had some points left, so the list now looks like this:
HQ:
Hive Tyrant: 151pts
Adrenal glands (ws,i), extended carapace, toxic miasma, 2x scything talons, warp scream
Hive Tyrant: 151ptspts
Adrenal glands (ws,i), extended carapace, toxic miasma, 2x scything talons, warp scream
+++ personally, i'd go with a flying 'quick-draw' tyrant for sure! add on bio-plasma and now skimmers are much less of a threat too...+++
Elites:
Carnifex: 101pts
Adrenal glands (ws, i), 2x scything talons
Carnifex: 113pts
Enhanced senses, 2x devourers
Carnifex: 113pts
Enhanced senses, 2x devourers
+++ tasty! don't expect the assaulty 'fex to make it anywhere though... slap it in front of your assaulty tyrant for an extra 4 ablative wounds.+++
Troops:
Ripper Swarm: 110pts
10 bases, leaping
Ripper Swarm: 110pts
10 Bases, leaping
+++ i'd honestly cut out a few bases and get some leaping warriors w/bio-plasma for skimmer hunting as those things will cause you a world of hurt!+++
Fast Attack:
Ravener Brood: 120pts
3x Raveners; scything talons, rending claws
Ravener Brood: 120pts
3x Raveners; scything talons, rending claws
+++ split up into 3 broods of 2 each... yes i know it's gimmicky, but it's another unit to deploy and it's also a bit more efficiant in terms of 'scoring units' you'll have, which 'nids have a hard enough time with anyways!
it also means you break up your opponent's shooting a bit more as he/she now has another target unit to worry about...+++
Heavy Support:
Carnifex: 113pts
Enhanced senses, 2x devourers
Carnifex: 133pts
Enhanced senses, 2x barbed strangler
Carnifex: 163pts
Enhanced senses, 2x venom cannon
+++ i'd go with a 2nd twin-linked barbed stanger personally simply because it can at least cause penetrating hits on av13 and lower, which the venom cannon can't unless the target is open-topped... (and if it's and open topped squadrond like sentinels, the strangler will cause more hits too!)+++
Total: 1,498pts |
