Agreed, nice list Shoel. I can definitely see genestealers having trouble surviving without more targets. I would probably go with:
Swarm: 350
4x termagants
2x hormagaunts
Hive tyrant
Warrior
Haruspex
Carnifex
Swarm: 250
4x termagants
2x hormagaunts
3x warriors
Trygon Swarm: 225
Exocrine Swarm: 175
I used a variation of the above list yesterday in our minigeddon tournament with some good success, although I only played one game, against the speed freaks, I won 3-0. A couple of observations:
- I had my Trygons pop up on my side of the board near an objective on turn 2, however that made them vulnerable to assault. Next time I'll pop them up near the Blitz but in a safer spot
- I didn't manage to get a single CC, I found it quite difficult to get close enough without be FF's in return.
- My Synapse swarms, however, did do well enough in FF to survive and at times break the enemy.
- My biovores were the MVP, they broke two enemy formations and also gave me good table control as my opponent was hesitant to move within 60cm of them.
So all in all I really enjoyed my first experience, albeit it was a limited playtest, I'm really looking forward ot trying them out some more. My list looked like this:
Swarm: 350
4x termagants
2x hormagaunts
Hive tyrant
Warrior
Carnifex x 2
Swarm: 250
4x termagants
2x hormagaunts
3x warriors
Trygon Swarm: 225
Biovore Swarm + 1 extra biovore: 175
