I've got to say, the 2nd list idea looks a lot better. It looks down right brutal in my opinion and should be able to pretty well handle most of the big threats.

I can't comment much on the first list as I have yet to use the toxicrene or spore pods so I'm at a loss of how effective they can be.

Too be fair I haven't used a toxicrene yet, sort of working off the theoretical potential :good: one thing I've struggled with in most lists is Wraithknights, so the threat of a 2+ poisoned MC with ID on a 5 or 6 is enough to put some fear into them

The spore pods I've used quite a bit since they came out- they are ok, don't do much by themselves (although some people forget they can claim objectives) but the stuff they deliver does the damage

very interesting lists here, have not experimented with the new non-force org lists and am sticking to tradition, but list 1 needs more models. List 2 wins because of the gargoyles.

and hive crones are awesome

xD

You may well be right on list 1, I'm sort of banking on having 7 MCs and so much shrouded on the board to keep things alive but ill concede that isn't great against the likes of Tau or Eldar

I was running CAD for a while but since I've moved to Leviathan I haven't looked back :grin: 3 tyrants is dirty good, 4 is just fun lol

Cheers for the feedback, hoping to get a game or 2 in with both lists over the weekend and next week so I'll post up how they go
