Ymgarl upgrade and Battle Report

Nick speaking,

After having very good results from playing most of my games with thirty flanking Genestealers, it was time for the Stinger Hive Fleet to upgrade them to Ymgarls! Normal flanking Stealers work well, especially with the +1 for reserves and side re-roll buff from the Swarmlord. But being able to come on from reserve into terrain, move, fleet and assault, makes Ymgarl Stealers too good to not try out, especially with the added bonus choice of +1 to Strength, Toughness or Attacks from their Alter form rule and a 4+ armour save...

Ok, Ymgarls are not Troop choices and can't capture objectives, but my Genestealers are never in my list to score anyway! They are there to come on, distract and cause havoc before they die, whilst my Hormagaunts, backed by the Swarmlord takes the objectives. Only downside to Y-Stealers is that they compete for the other great Elite slots in the Codex...


In this first battle report against Chaos Daemons, my thirty Y-Stealers lay dormant ready to pounce...
