My next game is on the 26th so the 25th is kind of a deadline if you will for a next round of testing.
I've never played the 9.2.1 list so some of the questions might come from that lack of experience. No issue with anything (I agree and respect your opinion as list writer) besides the comments below:
- Change needed on Meiotic Spores. I'm not that unhappy w/ the Leviathan version even if as a temp solution. They're very feeble but I guess if you could buy them in clusters of 4 for 100 points you could scatter them around the battlefield to simulate the cloud cover. This would be even easier if they were Scouts of course as I already suggested on the Leviathan thread but this might take it too far.
- How much, if anything, are the Mycetic Spores? Cost included in the price of the undergunned spacecraft?
- In the Draconis list, what does it mean when you write 'may choose 1 spore per Bio-Titan'? What kind of spore is this? A Mycetic Spore? But those are too small to carry a Titan as they only have a transport of 6 and titans would take up 10 and 16 slots respectively.
- Agree that Gargoyles are too expensive right now given their more narrow usage.
- Limitation I referred on spawning was about the relation to Synapse creatures. Looking at it again it's a bit strange that, for example, a Hive Tyrant can only produce 2 gaunts when Regrouping or 1 when Rallying and costs 100 points, whereas a Dominatrix costs 475 and can produce 6 gaunts when regrouping (no problem here as who's going to Regroup w/ a Dominatrix anyway?) but can pop out 8 gaunts when rallying if more than 30cm from enemy. 8 gaunts a turn for 3 turns is 400 points' worth of bugs. I might test this next game but for my previous game I had too few Synapse creatures and too few Zoans (which bulk up the # of synapse) for this to really matter.
Meiotic spores back as a unit.
Mycetic Spores are free with the spacecraft (enough to carry the number of formations stated with the spacecraft)
'May choose 1 spore per bio-titan' a leftover from previous version, now removed.
Gargoyles now 5 stands for 100pts
Spawning is generally limited. However AV Synapse now counts as 2 to improve the issue somewhat (Single Tyrant regroup max is now 4, 1-2 when rallying). Also note that gaunts are costed including the continual spawning as they are not worth the 16.66pts per stand without spawning. You definately want to increase the number of synapse creatures from the base formation through the additional AV Synapse or Zoanthropes (although the warrior only synapse brood is passable)
