Or

Strategy: Everything advances except Heavy slot. Gaunts tie up enemy guns then die and reemerge in the rear to hold an objective. While the Gaunts hold up enemy guns the Zillas run to the front lines and begin blasting away once they get there.

First list is better, I think. More bugs = good. A smart player will keep units in reserve to deal with the WoN broods, or just ignore them initially. Could be good, but I just feel it's wasted points.

Thanks for casting your vote Tzeentch, but I would find it hard for an opponent to ignore 60 scouting Gaunts; however, you bring up a good point about them just keeping something in reserves to handle the on coming WoN broods.

I opt for the first list, since it has one more scoring unit.
