List Review
From Fleet of Claw, and a big shout out to you for what you’re going through personally. We’re rooting for you!
Dakka Flyrant with Regen – Keep the warlord alive, see if it’s worth it on a ‘Rant. Desperate attempt to retain Biomancy-esque survivability
Dakka Flyrant
Elite
2 Zoanthropes
2 Zoanthropes
2 Venomthropes – yeah these guys will be running for their lives against Tau, Eldar, Thunderfire cannons, Helldrakes, Perfect Timing… but catch someone without ignore cover and they’ll give so much durability to the bugs moving upfield
Troops
Tervigon with Norn Crown (ugh) – Why the crown? A) I want every chance at Catalyst I can possibly get my hands on, B) worst case I grab Dominion and she’s throwing 24″ Synapse. Basically I can’t abide having the Backlash range the same as freaking Synapse
30 gants, 10 devourers – pretty cool we can hide devourer gants in tgants – not worth losing spods 🙁
30 gants, 10 devourers (maybe split this brood and bulk them up with the extra points)
Heavy
Wow… an FOC slot I’m actually excited about!
I think the top 3 contenders here are Biovores, Exocrines, and acid spray TFexes so why not take all 3 for now while we’re feeling all experimental?
Thanks for the shout out guys! The support our family has gotten is awesome, and it’s always good to know that behind our blackened souls and withered hearts, us gamers have it in us to show some love too!
As far as the list, I agree, the Flyrant may not be the best place to put regen. I’m going to give it a go for now, and if in too many games it goes belly up, I’ll dump it. If I do drop it that gives me 50 total points to play with, I can split that 2nd gant squad and bulk it up.
I love Franky’s enthusiasm for Tyrnid Primes, but I refuse to play him almost out of principle. Why should I play him just because GW nerfed everything else, jacked up the Prime’s price and mocked me, daring me to overpay for our only IC Synapse. Think of this, we weren’t using him last ‘dex, what changed that would make him worthwhile now? Other then our other choices suck… *cry*. So they made a bush league option *worse* and want me to come begging and grovelling to them to play it?! I say GOOD DAY SIR!
Good luck with your personal stuff, I am sure all will be well!
And I agree on the stupid Prime! He was fine as he was, why the hell did he go up in points?! It just pisses me off! Haha.
congratz guys the best attempt of being British I have heard plus I haven’t heard anybody say by jo.
It’s “by Jove” 😉
I know I spelt it wrong hoping nobody would notice 😛
Well, you should start! =P

Haha, awesome, thanks!
And apparently (a guy told a guy) that termagants are so named because The Guardian Newspaper once referred to Margaret Thatcher as one and the design team at the time really didn’t like her much so used it for a laugh.
