Therian 2000 Point Starter List
So you’re thinking of starting a Therian list. This will be a good guide about putting together a 2000 point cypher list (who really runs anything but cypher anyways?) that will give you a great base to build on in the future. If you’ve already got the models I listed in the 800 pt starter dont fret they are all used in this 2000 point list.
The first decision is whether you want to use Tiamat or Babylon Zero as your company commander. For a more shooty feel go with Babylon Zero, for some more Melee action take Tiamat.
Therians – Cyphers
Platoon 1
- Tiamat (+ Omega Tiamat) / Babylon Zero
- Wraith Golgoth (Alpha)
- 3 Bane Goliaths
- 9 Storm Golems (Alpha, 3 Sonic Gun)
- 6 Grim Golems (+ Alpha Atis-Astarte, 1 Flamer)
- 2 hekats for creation
This gives you some more key essential models for Therians, while rounding out a 2000 point list. As you play some more you’ll figure out what else you need. With this list you will probably want to pick up 2 hekats for summoning. This is an additional cost but what would the Theirans be without hekat summoning?
Unlessy maths are wrong I make the Tiamat version of this list only 1900 ap. Any suggestions on how to spend the 100ap? Urash would be pointless as he can’t use his special Fusion routine when not Company Commander.
I would increase the size of the grim golem unit to use up any leftover points. Each extra fighter gives you another 2 dice to roll in melee. Doing so would require another box of grim golems though (which you’ll likely end up wanting at some point anyways for a full strength stealthed unit)
