Im worried about my low model count. I tried to keep my biomutions as low-cost as possible. Should i make the points room to add another brood of 9 stealers? more gaunts? I imagine the gargoyles will run with the flyrant and hunt; gaunts, zoa and the stealers will charge, the raveners/fexs on the flank1, with brood lord and his retinue/raveners on the other flank.

Sorry, no double twin-linked venomcannons. You can have 2 venom cannons, which fire as a single twin-linked 'cannon, but not double sets.

any other silly oversights like that?

V 1.1 please critique. i would like to be able to add another zoan w/o synapse... so if someone can help me clear out the necessary 55 points to do so, it would help

changed from 1.0 to 1.1- fixed illegal weapon choice for tyrant. removed exctended carapice from brood lord. Added two gargoyles to increase size of brood. Added reinforced chitin to heavy-carni. removed scything claws from genestealers. split gaunts into two groups of 12.

Honestly gargoyles really aren't any good. If you scraped them and your zoey you could squeeze ing another gunfex. You could also split up a brood of raveners. This would makes sure they don't bit it from one round o shooting.

hope that helped.

Gargs are craptastical.

If you are gonna bring zoanthropes, bring 3 or don't bring any.

BS on fexes without a choir (already dubious but it is a tactic that works on SOME armies) is silly. Take TL Dev instead, so you can chew infantry up still.

You have a brood lord, who will frankly just die since he won't be supported.

If you want more in depth explanations, just ask. Be glad to provide them.
