The list has no synergy at all. You go for fast FA choices but the rest of the list is butt slow.

If you want a fast/winged list then look at:

flyrant or parasite for HQ choices
stealers for troops
dropping zoeys for elites
trygons for heavies.

Parasite in a gargoyle brood with inflitrated stealers is always a good start. 30 gargoyles does seem a little unwieldy to me as well. 20 is often plenty.

Mmmm i think you missed the 'point' a little

#1 - The goal isn't to build a FA army, it is to build an army that uses those specific fast attack choices.

#2 - I don't have a parasite model as I listed the items i do have an asked for suggestions on changes that would implement those instead of models that don't currently exist or are not in my inventory.

#3 - Goal is to max the FA options as well its a 'theme' list.

As for not having any synergy...I honestly cannot say as i didn't actually play test it yet to see how well it would work but in making the list my idea was to deep strike the FA choices as a 'harrashment' unit

While holding down objectives with the warriors and popping AVs with the respective units. I think the FA choices work well as a harrashment to the enemy's backlines that you would be otherwise unlikely to reach. So that's the synergy right there
