Might want to look into a bit more anti armor. Looks good otherwise.

I read the doom of malinti profil and I was thinking on taking my 18 man squad of genestealers to a 10 man squad then adding the doom of malanti.

While the Doom of Malan'ti looks pretty nice, remember that it takes only 1 S8 wound to make him vanish from the table. The lack of Eternal warrior will see to that.

unless you drop pod it

Uh... no, it takes an average of three wounds. At BS3 that's 6 shots. How many armies can afford to toss out 6 strength 8 shots a turn?


I think your list needs... consistency. As it stands it's just a bunch of models thrown together.

I would recommend dumping the carnifex and replacing him with either another Trygon.

Zoanthropes NEED to be drop podded, else they are just going to die before they do any damage. Any half smart player would kill them before they blew up some tanks.

This is how this list is going to perform my termagaunts hold objectives zoanthropes helps the haunts stay on objective. The one sqaud of termagaunts outflanks do to tyrant. Everything that out flanks contests objectves( I build list around objective games due to 2/3 of missions have objectives). I have my monsterous creatures on left side middle and right side so tanks will have to meet up with a monsterous creature. The doom of malinti is for when you got those objectives with lots of guys on it so it takes them of for outflanking units to hold or to take out other units. My tyrant will just go to center of board then go from there so he can hold a 36" circle around him with his strength 9 heavy venom cannon.


I have used this list against a space wolves list and got a draw( he was using jaws of the world wolf on me) I am going to use a similar list this weekend so then I will know if it is have decent or not.

are zoanathropes better now? All I've seen them do is miss their shots, I've never actually seen them hit anything...

They were upgraded to bs 4 and they have a 5+ save and a 3+ invenurable. They have a strength 10 ap1 lance weapon and a strength 5 ap3 blast weapon.
