Two Nexus Swarms would mean two Supreme Commanders, something that no army has. If you want a house rule, allow for another with a Dominatrix without SC, say for 25-50 points less.

On the Gargoyles, try them at 1 and let me know if they're always the first thing to come back or not.

How making a "Dominatrix Symbiote" as a 0-1 upgrade to a Dominatrix, and put the Supreme Commander (and the Psychic attack) on the upgrade? Then you can have as many Nexus swarms as you have models for.

At 2 points per, they are certainly always the last to come back...

I was thinking of using the ruling in the UK list which is "As long as one Dominatrix is alive the army counts as having a single Supreme Commander Re-Roll ."

OK I'm hoping to get another game this Friday, so I will see if the second youngest will do another list and we will play the Gargoyles at 1 point. I guess I will give the UK list ruling ago on the Nexus Swarms and see how that plays out too.


Thanks for the battle report. Not saying that you should not try it, but in the pre-Onachus Tyranid list Gargoyles were spawned at the equivalent to 1 point, and there was no point in spawning anything else as long as you had them. My preference would be to decrease the initial cost to +20 points, but to keep them at 2.
