Comment, suggestions and criticism's are all welcome; if you think it wont work, tell me what factors you think will come into play? Would like some opinion on the 2x3 Warriors, vs 1x7 or 8 shrikes please.

Mostly i am relying on luck, to get in as many bugs as possible on T2 with the 3+. Its a plan that can go horribly awry, but im willing to risk that. Ive played similar styled lists before and been quiet successful, so this is just a different flavour to the genestealer cult.

305 - Hive Tyrant: Bs/Lw, Brainleech Devourers, Wings, Old Adv, Hive Com
(I know i've invested heavily in the tyrant, but its kind of necessary to make him multipurpose & the list is built around Hive Com.)

230 - 3 Zoans: Pod: Cluster Spines
140 - Doom: Pod: CS

185 - Tervigon: Adrenal, Cataclysm (Outflanks)
50 - 10 Termagants (walk on from the back and sit on the objective i place within a piece of terrain in my DZ)
215 - 3 Warriors: 2xBs, Toxin, Adrenal: Pod: CS
215 - 3 Warriors: 2xBs, Toxin, Adrenal: Pod: CS (undecided on 2x3 or a single big mob of 7 podding in OR 8 BS/Adr Shrikes)

255 - Fex: 2x Brainleech Devourers, Adrenal, Frags, Pod: CS
255 - Fex: 2x Brainleech Dev's, Adr, Frag, Pod: CS

Totals: 1850pts - 15 KP - 6 Pods


Tervigon walks on from the side with most objectives, pooping out troops along the way; Pods will be dropped near most critical targets, fex's near vehicles and Doom/Warriors together beside infantry - hoping Doom will be a fire magnet and save the warriors from being too molested. with Cluster Spines on each pod they should put out a fair bit of hurt on their own, 6 S5 templates and 36 S6 Bs2 shots into infantry is nothing to sneeze at. Zoans may be hampered by psychic defence, so Doom will be used to flush out psychic hoods etc.

The 10 Termi's will just sit in my actual DZ and babysit objectives, hopefully i will be able to tie the opponent up enough so that he cant spare a unit to go and wipe them out...

Screamer killers are fun outta the pod: PC, Adrenal, Frag Spines. 5 Str 10 I4 Attacks that re-roll to hit on the charge. oh, and the Plasma cannon.

mawlocs are fun in a podding list. You can surround opponents with the pods and then have the mawloc come up the middle. If models cannot move outta the way to make room for the Mawloc, the model is removed.

the blast marker is cool too--- because the Mawloc Base is large, you can hit pretty much what you want, even if you scatter poorly.

Based on my experience playing against these type of lists I would replace the warriors with a mawloc or trygon. The worriors are not that hard to kill in shooting. Condider some genestealers maybe. that way you have more. condider getting something to protect your hive tyrant if he is all by himeself then he can be brought down by a lot of things in shooting. It would suck for you if he was ganked in turn 1 by a drop podding sternguard and a few random laz cannons.

I would swap out one squad of warriors for gaunts. Lots of gaunts. A pod can carry 20!
