Modding my list for 7th (Now with Malanthropes)
Hey all, so I would liek your thoughts on the following 1850 list, Its similar to a list I tried out yesterday, but I've dropped my single venomthrope and picked up another malanthrope with their new rules I really kinda like them and think they are just the right price to run in a pair (I also love my conversions of them)
HQ:
Swarmlord, 2x Tyrant Guard
He's here to buff the gaunts and offer a reasonably solid core for the army to rotate around.
Elites:
2x Zoanthropes
2x Zoantthropes
I have been pleasently surprised that the changes to 7th ed Psychics didnt hit these guys as hard as I was afraid they would, furthermore, netting dominion, Warp blast and a 3rd power means that they are always useful, I just have to be willing to burn charges on warpblast when I really need vehicles dead.
2x Malanthropes
Love the New rules not only are they tough shrouded buffs, they also have regen, and a decent chance of providing a significant mid to late game buff (taking the pressure of the SL to hand out boosts)
Troops:
19x hormagaunts
Fast gribblies, act as flankers or vanguard units, really good at wrecking vehicle lines with SL buffs)
30x Termagants
30x Tarmagants
Bulk of my infantry, lock things down in CC, lots of bodies, ObjSec....
Tervigon, Cluster spines, Electroshock
Tervigon, Cluster spines, Electroshock
Tried these with Shreddershards last time, not happy with the rolls, but did like dropping the 2 templates on units, also a T6W6 MC ObjSec that gets dominion and a second power and acts as a battery for units that get good powers.
Fast Attack:
Hive Crone
Dedicated AA, Had considered running a pair, but only one of my regular opponents runs heavy fliers, and even then the solo jinking/VSing Crone manages to mess it up against a 3 to 1 ratio.
Heavy Support:
Tyrannofex, Acid spray, Electroshock grubs
Template Spittr, solid choice, tough and always a danger, so glad these are cheaper these days.
So there it is, what I propose for an 1850 ground pund list. Im not running this in an ultra-competitive environment, I stopped going to tournaments because I just couldn't afford to compensate for the GW shift anymore.
Thoughts anyone?
