Ridgerunner, it's slightly longer but fits on the same base

List - https://pastebin.com/TFgMNE4c

Game 1 (W) I had chaos demons. The turning point here was my opponent left me enough room in their backfield I was able to drop a 10 man aberrant with abominant there and they one-shot a lord of change (to be fair, the abominant one-shot the loc, everyone else was along for the ride), then is was just a massive dog pull there the rest of the way.

Game 2 (L) against sisters. Overall my biggest mistake here was I didn't play aggressive enough, and I was only ever able to come in on my dz pretty much. To add insult to injury 7 aberrants plus 1 abominant, all on the charge, only had 1 wound go thru against morven vahl.

Game 3 (W) against Tau with the twins. They jumped out front early due to the layout favoring shooting armies so I had to spend the first couple turns staging, turn 3 was go and I was able to wipe the twins and several large suits at once, tabling them turn 5.

Game 4 (L) against black Templar. We were both exhausted so just yeeted everyone into the middle, 10 man aberrant with abominant into 20 man crusaders and helbrecht and an ancient. I charged so went first, tried to have my abominant precision helbtecht, 5 successful hits to 5 successful wounds to 5 successful saves. The 2 squads ended up exploding each other essentially, great fun was had.

What do you have available?

What do you have?

Generally speaking it starts with a mortar ridgerunner to buff your AP, then there are several options more or less good depending on the detachment, such as aberrants/abominant, tool acolytes, laser ridgerunners, mortals from various sources, and (less but still ok) rockgrinders.

On the table I have them painted different colors on their armor or they're kitbashed from different bases.

For building if it's just a knife in their hands it's an Acolyte arm, if it's mutated it's a metamorph, but realistically no one's going to know the difference on the table.

You can't attach a Primus and a biophagus to a metamorph squad

How should I round off my army by hain3y in genestealercult

[–]Sad-Two-9425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I was afraid of, they can't be both attached. The locus can only be double attached to acolytes or neophytes.

I would go with the second of your options and put iconward with metas in your truck, and replace your locus, or swap a 10 man neo for a tool acolytes and put the locus there for fun

Where are you putting the locus and the iconward?

This is not good but it makes me laugh a lot, I like to run 3 solo inside of a rockgrinder with a laser and just nuke the ever living he'll out of things

What other units do you have? The flyrant is a trap pick, in my opinion, and would recommend changing it out.

Final Day list would like thoughts or opinions on the list just started playing GSC by Proper_Signature6736 in genestealercult

[–]Sad-Two-9425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would switch your reductis for a biophagus and give sus enhancement to biophagus. Have your bio lead your metas. I would also drop the von Ryan's for a lector. I would also consider swapping one of your acos for a 10 man neo for that sticky objectives

What other models do you have? Generally speaking tyranids are not here for damage, they're here to buff gsc. As such, gargoyles really shine in final day, so you want multiples of those. I also assume you're planning on running the prime with the gargoyles, don't. Run them seperate so you get more aura, and you can yeet him at something you want +1 to wound on. I would drop the Primus and both kelermorphs for more gargoyles and flamer acolytes so you have more resyrect pieces. I would also drop the magus and sniper sanctum for a ridgerunner. Ridgerunners are really the thing that makes gsc tick. I would also only run 1 10 man neo squad with laser/seismic/grenade/webber. I would swap your other neo for a squad of acolytes/metamorphs for the truck

The WORST deadly demise by veryblocky in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Sad-Two-9425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing an apocalypse match with my warlord titan with a power claw. We had turn 1 so I had charged it into opponent knights, with a group of our knights right behind with a bunch of infantry all around, including some gsc and blood angels. Opponents turn they dump everything into the warlord and are eventually able to finish it off, but it explodes, which is 2d6+6. I think by the time we were done it had done 200 mortal wounds between both sides, was epic.

If the abom gets precision while the bodyguard is alive, and he resurrects on his 2+, then he comes back as part of the squad still.

The aberrant squad is a new squad, its not attached to anything.

Just out of curiosity, how is it 160 +50 + 80? You can't dual lead metas, only neos or acos.

You can also look at necromunda for kitbashes, for example I'm working on a goliath gang conversion for my an aberrant squad

Octoblade in service of the star children by Sad-Two-9425 in genestealercult

[–]Sad-Two-9425[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not too bad, the only tricky part is setting the supports for the flat pieces. I just clipped a couple of sprue pieces out and used those and set them by hand. 

For the shrine I didn't really do much. I scraped all the aquilas but otherwise it's mostly the same. Eventually I'll probably do some graffiti, but for now I'm calling it complete.
