So, I was looking over my fun list I was not cofortable with
8 ripper swarms. I have never been a big
fan of the little buggers. I also
noticed a lack of synapse so I think I found a ways to keel the snake theme and
boost up the synapse: Zonathropes
Lets take a look at the list.
HQ
Tyranid Prime –lashwhip /bone sword regen
Troop
10 Genestealer – broodlord toxin sacs

5 Ravener - rending claws, Devourer

3 Shrike – lash whip/ bonesword toxin sac
Heavy
Trygon Prime – bio pulse, regen
Elite
Zonathrope

So with this army I hope to present a varity of targets to confuse or dilute my opponents target
priority. With the addition of the Zoies
this adds 2 more points of synapse and shadow in the warp to mess with
psychers. I am a bit worried about the
shrikes since I am only bringing 3 but we shall see. I will still put the prime in with a
genestealer brood to help out with the killing.
Adding the zoies aslo gives me so options with some range
shots if I keep their default powers. If
I don’t, it will give me access to some decent buffs. Through either biomancy or telekinesis.
Thursday I will be taking this untested band of bugs into
battle with the evil chaos of Chosen1 from Team Snake Eyes. I hear that demons are very powerful in this
new codex and that I will fear the flamers.
Seeing that I want to get into hand to hand all those d3 hits are going
to hurt. We shall see… maybe my trigon
can shoot them down.
Hopefully Friday I can give a full recount of our
battle.
