Editing Termagant (section)

== Maximum Overspam ==

Yes, it is actually possible, it just takes numbers. Fill all your Troop choices with 30 Termagants. Now give them all Devourers. That totals to 540 attacks, averaging 135 wounds on T4 models and 90 wounds on T5 models. What can survive taking 135 saves? If you want to add more dice drowning, take 9 [[Carnifex]]es with two sets of twin linked [[Devourer]]s with Brainleech Worms. That's another 12 attacks per model. That equals 36 per brood. And 108 in total. That's 648 all up. Then take 9 [[Zoanthrope]]s for [[Hive Mind|Synapse]] coverage. Then take 90 Gargoyles, two winged [[Hive Tyrant]]s with twin linked Devourers and watch as you cannot fit all the dice on the board. 842 dice.

If you don't do this or something like this, use them for cheap ass canon fodder. Note that in any game with a points limit high enough to do this you'll get double FOC anyway. And remember to take [[Tervigon]]s to smash [[Metal Boxes|metal bawkses]] and throw around more Synapse and powers and shit out free Gaunts. Six Tervigons doing this averages out to fifty four new Gaunts each turn until you start rolling doubles. And if you want more [[dakka]], put [[Tyranid_Bio-Weapons#Cluster Spines|spines]] on the Tervis and [[Tyranid_Bio-Weapons#Crushing Claws|crushing claws]] for melee (plus one miasma cannon). Remember to take four Flyrants and give them all maximum [[Tyrant Guard]] (technically they don't need to follow the tyrant around) for twelve mini monstrous creatures.

This means you'll have nearly six hundred models on the table with more coming. And because you'll only ever see this in just for fun no points limit games you may as well just buy all the upgrades for everything for the lulz. Yes, aaaaaaaall the upgrades.

Only problem is that your opponent will probably see this coming and take all of the templates when they see you bringing out carrying case after carrying case or insist the game take place in your house. Still, they can only cover so much. Unless they're packing a [[Manticore Launcher Tank]], in which case you are pretty much incomprehensibly fucked.

They can also be used with the endless swarm formation which at minimum requires you to take three broods of ten and can go up to ninety, backed by ninety hormagaunts and some warriors to keep them in synapse. Shooting them off the board means very little as they'll just enter ongoing reserves and respawn again if you roll well enough. Also they're superscoring. While not as popular as the Skyblight swarm which lets you bring more flyrants and crones and the more mobile gargoyles, it's a decent enough option for putting FoCless bodies on the field to steal objectives and camp them and stuff your opponent's face with dice. In the living tide formation which was arguably the first "formation of formations" list ever seen in 40k (though given the differences between it and the 7th edition formation of formation detachments it was likely a prototype for the concept) you have to take at least three endless swarms resulting in the hilarity of at least a hundred termagants on the field and potentially well over three hundred. Also they get to [[Troll|reroll their respawn rolls.]]
