50pt Termie list assistance for Colossal release

[PG_RevGeoff]

So, the Colossal release tourney I'm going to is not using timed turns so I NEED to break out the big T!

The scenario makes you rush to the centre of the board. If you are not within 10" of the obstruction bad things can happen to you!

Termie (+4)
-4 nightwretch

-8 bane thralls max
-3 thrall ua
-8 bane thralls max
-6 min bane knights
-5 min bile thralls
-5 mech thralls
-1 brute
-2 necrosurgeon
-4 tartarus
-4 Darragh

-2 Madelyn Corbeau
-2 Saxon

That is 26 banes and I'm kind of thinking that I would like to have a number of banes on the table for S&G. Saxon is there on the off chance some knights need pathfinder.
I pretty much have access to everything.
Thanks for any suggestions.

why take the UA for the banes if they will be within termys range?

So they can leave his control and free roam to where they're needed.
Plus getting up and shaking stationary is pretty nifty..

exactly this.
They are to come up one of the flanks and can detach. I would like to cram in more banes...well...because it would be funny, but I'm thinking the mech thralls should be there.

[PG_RevGeoff]

ok, a change:
Termie (+4)
-4 nightwretch

-8 bane thralls max
-3 thrall ua
-5 bane thralls min
-6 min bane knights
-5 min bile thralls
-3 min mech thralls
-1 brute
-2 necrosurgeon
-4 tartarus
-4 Darragh
-5 WSC
-2 Madelyn Corbeau
-2 Saxon

Just realized how much it would suck to have Big T stuck with a crip grasp.

Mechanithralls are more a liability unless you go all out, since your opponent will be using them to center AoE attacks and open easy lanes. I think the knights should go maximum or go home.

I was thinking of using the mech thralls (mostly) for taking ranged hits vs pawning them off on any banes nearby. If I drop the mech thralls that would be 3+1(brute)+2(surgeon) = 6pts left (2 if you max out the knights).
What would you suggest then to take direct hits for term? I'm mostly thinking about a certain elf that can really ruin your day.

I would swap the nightwretch for a stalker and ad a Siren to run it. Good solo hunter, although I think Termi can/should take one heavy at 50 points. Reaper and Scalock is good.

Ok, next change...

Termie (+4)
-4 nightwretch

-8 bane thralls max
-3 thrall ua
-5 bane thralls min
-10 min bane knights
-5 min bile thralls


-2 ?????
-4 tartarus
-4 Darragh
-5 WSC
-2 Madelyn Corbeau
-2 Saxon

So I have 2 pts left. I could drop the Knights back to min (giving me 6pts), grab another min unit of bane thralls and a...umm...machine wraith. Or I could use the 2pts on a WWS and just take the stalker or a diver instead of the 4pt node (which really just runs up into hth to mess with the opposing army).

Any suggestions?
