Fortunately, they're so similar that I can still build most of both variants with the models I have.
Final thoughts anybody?
I like the 2nd. More dakka and a killy doom unit is great. I'd add in Old Adversary as well as adrenal glands on your Tervigons. Re-rolling wounds against T4 on the charge is huge, as is re-rolling missed hits.
ReplyDeleteTyrant hammer!, just out of interest.
ReplyDelete@Chumbalaya - I like the 2nd better myself but Steleks suggestions have a way of working better for me, even if I'm not quite sure how or why, lol.
ReplyDeleteTo do Steleks list I'd need to buy 2 Carnifex to convert into either Tervigons or Fex's.
To do Nick's I'd need to buy 2 Tyrant Guard and a Carnifex.
Fuck It, I'll just build both...
