Here's what I've been using. I'm considering dropping the Hydras for a single LR Exterminator. A lot of the time I find myself wishing I could move the Hydras around, but when I do so, I lose a shot. Since it's mostly a long range affair and an easy conversion, I'd like to experiment with it. In the context of this army, do you think it will perform, or do you think it'll stand out as the sole AV14 shoot-me tank on the table?

2 Hydras OR Exterminator

2 hydras a more solid choice. I have fielded a Exterminator before. Barely did anything. I've fielded 2 hydras in a squad...they took out 2 GK stormravens with the 3+ cover save. I ignored the cover making it 6+ with the libbys power. They won the game for me

Hydras. Period.
