Wanted thoughts on this list for a 1250 - usual points limit for local meta where I am now.

Love dem Flyrants!

Rippers sit on objectives as they do. Genestealers look kinda dubious but with three Flyrants, they shouldn't get picked on. The Malanthrope will also escort them once he is done providing 2+ Jink to Flyrants. Malanthrope could also give PE to Genestealers, making them super killy, lol. Broodlord for an extra WC, why not?

Harpy is also kinda dubious, but another FMC doesn't hurt and it does provide Anti-Horde with the Barbed Strangler, which can also help assist the Genestealers by forcing Snapshots to be fired against them.

Changed the list a bit for a bit more ground control:

Central Allied Detachment 1

HQ
Hive Tyrant w/ Wings, 2x TL Devourers with BLW, EGrubs = 240
Hive Tyrant w/ Wings, 2x TL Devourers with BLW, EGrubs = 240

Troops
3x Rippers w/ Deep Strike = 45
3x Rippers w/ Deep Strike = 45
3x Rippers w/ Deep Strike = 45

Elites
Malanthrope = 85

Central Allied Detachment 2

HQ
Hive Tyrant w/ Wings, 2x Devourers with BLW, EGrubs = 240
Tervigon w/ Crushing Claws, EGrubs = 220

Troops
3x Rippers w/ Deep Strike = 45
3x Rippers w/ Deep Strike = 45

1250 on the dot.

Maybe my prefrence for ground troops, but I like the second list better.
