Thanks Fling

Looks very nice!

I would have gone for a SkyTyrant formation instead of the Leviathan, but that is a "style" choice. Good luck!

Thanks PC.
I however had a complete brain duh moment and mixed up mucalid spores with mieotic spores.
Bascailly I dont own any mucalids

So it was back to the drawing board with below.
Q: Can I take the Hive Fleet detachment as my primary and then run an allied CAD with it? Im still struglling with these army comp combos!!
If not is there anyway to build the below units into a coherent force using whatever is necessary?
Finally would a Crone be better than the 4 Shrikes?
thanks again!

Combined Arms Detachment is different than Allied Detachment (last one must be different faction, you you can't have HIve fleet and allied detachment of Tyranids as you have showed.)

But what you asked is YES. You primary detachment is the one where your Warlord is. The only detachment that can't be your primary is an Allied detachment.

That being said. you have to add one more troop to convert that Allied Detachment into a CAD to be legal. Also, I think a double CAD is valid to use (at least have seen some lists with it) so, just move the reapers from HF to CAD, and get 2 CAD (since you are using only 3 flyrants, that wont be a problem) Also, HF does not have obj secure.

Ah ok thanks - this ok then?

This is OK then.

But just one last recomendation, swap one genestealer brrod with ripper swarm, put the reaper swarm on the CAD so it have OBj Secure. Lot of people like to give the rippers Deep Strike so it could deep strike obj secure on an enemy objective marker. But that is just a recomendation, it's ok as it is
