Ok after much play testing this is what I will be going with on Feb 9th for the first Hall of Hero's event of the season in my area.

The only really controversial decision was to keep EC off the stealer's. In my meta game so far the amount of AP 5 weaponry has been fairly minimal compared to ap 6 and ap4+. The stealer squads are broken into 3 of 6 and 3 of 12 so i can place the weight of my force as late into the deployment cycle as possible. The Gun Fex's are naked to maximize the number of stealers and because after turn 2 they should be of decreasing usefulness as the stealers start to own the enemy lines. Tactics are simple try to overwhelm a weak flank and roll up his line once I'm in. The Hive Tyrant is kitted for anti character and anti infantry roles. He can keep up with the stealers and help with synapse as well as present another immanent threat the enemy must deal with at the same time he has to deal with the stealers.

I will post some battle reports after the tournament.
