The idea here is to use the 12x gaunt squad to either shield the warriors as they advance or hold a rear objective. The lictors are there to allow reserve rerolls to help you dictate when your scuttlers arrive. If I know I'm going first then I could alternatively decide to deploy the scuttling broods along the front to earn that extra 6" of forward movement and use the lictors as a distraction/tie-up unit. Once again, constructive criticism is always appreciated.

Lictors suffer from the deep strike rules.

You have alot of different units, none of which seem to complement each other.

If I was playing this list, I would:

Ignore the spinegaunts for the crap they are.

Shoot dead all the stealers and warriors.

Zap the Zoanthropes, then run into combat with the spinegaunts (to protect myself from the fexes) and kill them with fearless wounds.

I should have a IC or squad that can smack down your tyrant, and that's how that game will go...

You've really gotta pick a theme.

Warriors + Stealers + Fexes + Flyrant + Spinegaunts is trying to do everything all at once.

AKA it's a battleforce army, which isn't a good thing.

@ Stelek:

So in trying to keep with the infiltrate/scout theme, would you then suggest ditching the gaunts and the warriors in favor of more stealers?

Why every nids players often use flyrant?

Because they can be anywhere you need them to be reliably and quickly. Speed, my friend.

I see, but i'm not because of Tyrant guard.

Flyrants make me think 'autowin'. Tyrant Super Units, make me wince.
