I'm planning to add another tyrant - flying - and at least one fex or three. zoans look real nice too with 5th glancing crap not being able to destroy a vehicle. maybe a tyrant guard. don't know about the warriors honestly, but they came with the trade.

I personally don't like spine gaunts, I find termagants to be more effective.

Don't particularly like the build for the stealers either.

They are far too fragile and cost bucket loads when you consider 5th ed changes to rending.

Just a couple of thoughts
