Fun runnin list, me and my friends are tasked with coming up with odd lists, or those we don't normally field. So... do you think I should throw in a lictor, for deep-strike safety?
Synapse should be covered, and the madness of bringing in three monstrous creatures in the same turn, in combination with the 6 zoeys, and 27 beasts... Something WILL make it in to combat... Hopefully...

What's deep striking about tervigons and termangaunts? Why not go stealers for troop choices?

27 raveners is certainly scary, if a bit expensive! I would also maybe look at a mawloc/antoher trygon rather than a spore fex for one HS slot. For HQ, the only deep strike options are parasite or flyrant.

This way, nothing has to come in from your board end. Maybe give 1 unit raveners rending claws as well as the stealers so you can tear up transports etc in CC.

I was thinking flyrant too, but didn't know what config... I guess I could throw in another trygon rather than a fex, and stealers make O.K. transport killers, but the Zoanthropes fit that roll MUCH better, with a S10 AP1 assault 1,Lance that is =)

EDIT: I may go with stealers, and could drop the tervigons....

I agree with ruminator that a flyrant would be a helpful addition, especially with hive commander. Anything that will make your reserve rolls better should be added to an all reserve army. Dropping a fex for a trygon is a good idea too
