Hello, I plan on going to a qualifier in a couple of weeks and was hoping to get some feedback on the list I planned on taking. Overall I like the list and it has been performing quite well for me. Perhaps there are better lists out there (like skyblight) but I've found this list to be pretty reliable. It hasn't had issues with high AV or even high AV walkers (though I have yet to pit it against an imperial knight) and flyers have seem to taken a bit of a back seat this edition. So here it is
Combined Arms Detachment 1
Hive Tyrant (warlord) - Wings, 2 x TL devourers - 230 points
Hive Tyrant - Wings, 2 x TL devourers - 230 points
Hormagaunt Brood - 10 gaunts - 50 points
Hormagaunt Brood - 10 gaunts - 50 points
Zoanthrope - 50 points
Zoanthrope - 50 points
Zoanthrope - 50 points
Carnifex - 2 x TL devourers - 150 points
Carnifex - 2 x TL devourers - 150 points
Carnifex - 2 x TL devourers - 150 points
Combined Arms Detachment 2
Hive Tyrant - Bone Sword/Lash Whip, Wings, Adrenal Glands, Old Adversary - 250 points
Hormagaunt Brood - 10 gaunts - 50 points
Termagant Brood - 10 gants - 40 points
It's 1500 exactly. I like it but am hesitant about that 3rd tyrant. It's awesome as it adds 2 more psychic powers and 2 more dice as well as being synapse. The thing is a complete beast in CC and is my best answer against rip tides and wraith knights as well as facing other nid MCs. In a pinch it can vector strike and it is quick to get into CC. My only concern is that it is 250 points and if I lose it then its like playing 1250 v 1500. I don't know what else I would take though. I have considered 2 more basic carnifexes. I've found that with this edition having a ton of MCs is just a great strategy (as opposed to in 6th where I was digging on swarms and medium bugs).
All thoughts and suggestions welcome as well as tips
Thanks
