That's sure but try to see the overall analysis. We can't simply make a confrontation between Hormies and Goyles, they're differently effective depending on the general setup.
The 2 combos, walking Tyrant with Hormies and the Flyrant + Goyles, both effective, aren't exactly givin' the same results but most of all are not mixable.
On paper and in tournaments, I'm feeling really better with the walking setup but it's just me.
Anyway, if we consider a Flyrant, there is no doubts on which support unit to take.
The Goyles will not only provide a cover save for the
HQ but will move "with him" not depending on different "run" rolls (something that happens quitely often in the walking combo).
So they will profit from all the bonuses given by the Tyrant still functionin' as cover unit.
Besides, a walking tyrant almost alwais deserve at least 2 guards (maybe not at 1000 points but in general..) and they're just the double of points in comparison of wings.
All depends on a lot of factors as usual, the adversary army, the general setup of the list (foot sloggin' or deep striking/outlfanking), etc.. BUT, for an ALL COMERS setup, viable in tournaments, the foot slogging patterns are the way.
