So a quick shot of my current list and then the list I am going to use...

So as it stands now,

HQ, Flyrant
Wings, TS, twin linked Dev's, enhanced senses, warp field = 196 pts

Troops, Genestealers x8
Troops, Genestealers x8 both sets have exteneded carapace and flesh hooks 168 pts per brood

Troops, Genestealers x8 fleshhooks = 120 pts

Fast Attack, winged warriors x3
toxin sacs, wings, enhanced senses, scything talons, Dev, Dev, VC = 147

Fast Attack, winged warriors x3
toxin sacs, wings, enhanced senses, scything talons, Dev, Dev, BS = 142

Heavy Support, Carnifex x2, venom cannon, barbed strangler, enhanced senses, flesh hooks = 149 a piece

close to 1250, like 1239 atm...

I play tested this list, I like the core, gene's with the heavy support fex's, I also have been VERY pleased with my flyrant and his death by devo's... here is my issue, the fast attack isnt doing what I am wanting... I have tried ravener's, I have tried leaping warrior's with rending and scything talons, none of those configurations quite made me as happy as I was hoping. So my plan is this... and this is where the advice, reassurance, whatever you want to call it is needed.

I am going to take out the fast attack, that adds approx 300points, I am going to make my Flyrant a CC monster giving him wings, warp field, flesh hooks, toxic miasma, adrenal glands WS, scything talons x2, not sure on the toxin sacs as I still have the fex's for anti tank, and with the other points making a walking Dakka Tyrant with 3 guard with lash whips, so his make up will be enhanced sense, toxin sacs, extended carapace, 2x twink linked devos, toxic miasma and flesh hooks, approx 294 pts with the 3 guard.

Over all, I have a fast CC Flyrant monster to use as a counter charge, anti tank if needed beast, and i still have my Dakka Rant with the 12 shots to hit/reroll and wound/reroll, with the bonus if you want to engage in close combat you lose 1 WS due to toxic miasma and if I have my 3 guard, you lose 3 attacks per model, total I believe Ill still have about 20ish points left till I hit 1250. The other list's I have play tested and I like the core, just wanted to see what you all thought about the 2 tyrants and how their set up, thanks!

The way you have your tyrants kitted out is pretty solid so is the rest of your list.

"But remember that there are over 1000 chapters of spase marienz! So the SM codex has to cover over 1000 different kinds of spase marienz! Codex CSM only has to cover 1 kind (the Chaos kind). And I don't even think Eldar are a kind of spase marienz at all. Hurr!"

It's a company which specialises in the selling of plastic representations of Elves, Goblins, and 9 foot tall superhuman soldiers from the future - have you ever considered that, as adults, it is US that is intruding upon THEIR world?
