So, what have we got. More like what haven't we got, amirite?!?
Let me tell you my thoughts and we can go from there.
Hive Tyrants. What's not to love. They fill in all the gaps the rest of the list is missing. Anti flyer and mobile synapse mostly. Kinda fragile if they get grounded, they really only have flying to protect them. Still a solid HQ choice and I love the model. Moving on.
Troops. This is, for me at least the area I flip flop around on. I love the little 10 man gaunt broods. They are deck chairs that can move very fast. Ask any demonette player, +3 to run rolls and fleet is fast!
The Tervigon as a troop is a bit of a knee jerk. It was great, now it's worse, take it out, TAKE IT OUT!!! It's another synapse, it's a troop, it makes more troops and it's a gosh dang monstrous creature!
Gants are an obvious choice I think, and I love the Devourers. Moving on.
Warriors. Everyone says they are fragile, and you would be right, but 10 points per wound ain't bad and they are synapse. And hey, if they are taking the str 8 shots then my MCs aren't.
In the fast attack we have the crone. I like the crone, mostly for the str 8 vector strike, it's really good. The haywire missiles are good too. And the flamer ain't half bad. I'm not sure in a hyper competitive scene that just one is gonna cut it. But with the flying tyrants it's a 3 ring circus so any pressure off the tyrants is a good start.
Finally we are at the money slot, the good ol' heavy support.
Dakka fex? Yes please, moving on.
The Tfex, my man! Torrent is the win. The 2+ save is also the win. Two of them, well, it's 40k and you know rules, if you're bringing one bring a second.
I'd like a zoey and a venom and would likely drop the gaunts to add them. A zoey gives me really good synapse, still kinda easy to take out, but more targets ya know.
The next question is who wants some?
