That looks like a solid SL list, maybe as asolid as it goes. You should send that to Stelek.GWvsJohnhttp://www.carydolan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-90029455277234892762010-02-24T18:12:42.984+11:002010-02-24T18:12:42.984+11:00Ok trialed this with some proxy love.

Whilst he has some nifty powers they are pretty short ranged and those Tyrants slow him down somewhat. If your Tyrant gets crap rolls and slow runs, your opponent can focus on your Warriors and Tervigons which you don't want.<br />2) It seems light on numbers but it's not. There's a lot of T6 wounds out there + 18 Warrior wounds and the gribblies. Termaguants will save your ass.<br />3) I've been skeptical about the Tfexes. Skeptics withdrawn. They didn't do that much against the tanks (fail bait) but their ability when they get close to decimate infantry is not to be overlooked.<br />4) Hive Guard are another thing I was skeptical about. But combined with the Tfexes does give a good bit of firepower as your advance. Even just shaking/stunning things is helpful as anyone who plays with Rifledreads can attest to.<br /><br />Overall I think it's a pretty decent list. I think if you forewent the Swarmlord in favor of some Primes or a HT and then got some Harpies it could be more balanced. I really want to try the Parasite of Mortex just for giggles :P. Hey look termaguants everywhere and now rippers! But too many rolls to beat to actually get the Rippers.<br /><br />Anywho, thoughts John?<br /><br />Don't worry btw I won :). It's called tabling an IG army.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693773850422698445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-26995790196029762992010-02-24T11:44:11.473+11:002010-02-24T11:44:11.473+11:00What do the Warriors have?

You could drop down to 3 and add a heavy weapon for wound allocation funsies to fit in another Tyrant Guard.<br /><br />You could also lose the toxin sacs if you need points.Chumbalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543857960730597490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-38131841482164356242010-02-24T02:51:41.793+11:002010-02-24T02:51:41.793+11:00OK here's something I quickly whipped up whil...OK here's something I quickly whipped up whilst talking with John.<br /><br />Swarmlord<br />2x Tyrant Guards w/Boneswords<br /><br />2x Hive Guard<br /><br />2x Hive Guard<br /><br />2x Hive Guard<br /><br />4x Warriors<br /><br />4x Warriors<br /><br />Tervigon w/Onslaught, Catalyst, Toxin Sacs<br /><br />Tervigon w/Onsalught, Catalyst, Toxin Sacs<br /><br />10x Termaguants<br /><br />10x Termaguants<br /><br />Tyrannofex w/Rupture Cannon<br /><br />Tyrannofex w/Rupture Cannon<br /><br />2k on the dot.<br /><br />I think this list has a lot more midfield presence but the lack of extra wounds on the Swarmlord isn't nice. Maybe mesh the Warriors together and make it smaller to give them some upgrades and another Tyrant Guard?<br /><br />Thoughts?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693773850422698445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-31891644613314612552010-02-24T00:50:17.384+11:002010-02-24T00:50:17.384+11:00Swarmy needs midfield presence for sure, I like Ho...Swarmy needs midfield presence for sure, I like Hormies or Stealers to work with him, Raveners too if possible.<br /><br />Dropping 1 Tyranno and DL (grab 6 HG) to pick up another Tervi and more Warriors/Horms/Stealers would be very handy. Outflank 20 toxin Horms and lol heartily.Chumbalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543857960730597490noreply@blogger.com
