Plenty of synapse to keep the WON Gaunts scoring. Ill use some of the warriors to provide cover the Tyrant unit that cannot use cover to approach. Ravenors are there to confuse the opponents targeting priority. I went with more CC oriented Carnies in the event I see lots of armor, if not they can still shoot up infantry from turn one.

I'm not sure... 11 MCs seems a little weak...

might be worth making 1 tyrant winged.
and adding a barbed strangler to each unit of warriors works well, plenty of large blasts does help against mostarmies since alot of tyranid weps lack AP.

and love the raveners, max attacks, i allways get alot of critisism about doing it, but i found that claws are little help.

Edit: might be worth adding enhanced senses wherever possible, nothing worse than missing :(

Yeah, gaunt broods provide cover for warriors, warriors provide cover for Tyrant units...not bad. Personally, I would make the death spitters TL as it nearly doubles your accuracy and can help prevent those embarassing scatters that land on your own advancing troops . Don't know if I am in favor of the BS over the TL Death Spitter. Pros of the BS, double your potentail hits, 12" more range, very minor chance of pinning. Negatives, you half your wounding power and your accuracy. Both are roughly the same point cost.
