I see one big problem with this. You ...Thanks Jay.<br /><br />I see one big problem with this. You have just created a very strong HQ which costs 255 points. If this is the only big creature on the table, be prepared to lose it in one turn of shooting. You will need to support it or create more targets for your opponent to split fire - e.g. Tervigons and Trygons. The way this Flyrant will work in a list is to create a MC list where the opponent will be forced to decide between the various large creatures coming in. Previously having played against other players, I lost my Flyrant really quickly. The only way I could mitigate this was to have more MC’s on the table however a smart opponent will always be targeting my Tyrant first. <br /><br />The main reason I stopped fielding the Flyrant in my lists (I have the model and he's painted as well) is that I find the Prime more tactically flexible – being able to hide in a unit of Warriors and still be only 110 points, I can field 2 Primes for one Flyrant and have points to spare! <br /><br />Regarding synergies, the Warriors work well with two main units:<br />1. Gaunts <br />2. Gargolyes<br /><br />This is because these two units are super cheap (5 and 6 points each) without any upgrades. Add 2 Tervigons, they can provide a brilliant screen as the Gargs move fast while the Gaunts give me an option to just cordone a part of your army forcing you to either kill them off or block off your shooting channels. <br /><br />I have the plan in my head and a list to demonstrate what I have in mind but I have not built my Gargs yet. I doubt you will see them this Tues but I promise they will be ready for our game in August.Anything But Oneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687901685615435513noreply@blogger.com
