Idea really is through fear of genestealers cause the enemy to bottle up from board edges or in general which will let the burrowers tunnel up with there st6 ap2 large templates and wreck house. Only concern is the overall point cost to model count.

Swarm lords purpose really is only for the table edge reroll and +1 to reinforcements. Apart from that its not a big deal if he dies because most of the list is instinct feed.

Well, the issue with this being simply that you have absolutely no way to get the omni-present marines out of the omni-present rhino. Stealers are powerful, but 60 seems like overkill. A wad of 20 just to outflank/infiltrate and be a massive threat to literally everything around them is a strategy I employ relatively often to good effect.

Why the trygon prime? You really don't need much in the way of synapse for this list, to be honest. Lictors and Mawlocs will do exactly what you want them to out of synapse. The only good it brings you is fearless to units that really ought not to be losing combat (or will anyways against, say, grey knight force weapons).

You might find Zoanthropes to fit in this list more nicely than Lictors. They can deep strike with a pod, can kill both marines and heavy tanks with equal ease, and will allow you to present a more diverse threat range.

Objective games will also be tough, as your genestealers will be pretty easy to knock off objectives, especially if your opponent feels wicked and places a few in the open.

The Trygon was more or less to do something more as it arrived, but I do see the difference in points to the Mawloc would be enough to put a lot more in.

I have thought about dropping the lictors and just keeping Deathleaper. The pheromone doesn't stack there for the benefit of having multiples can be lost.

I would hope though that the str6 ordinance's of the Mawloc's raising out of the ground, aiming more so specifically for the vehicles would be enough to get them out of there rhinos, only counting as there rear armour (10) when they come up with a str of 6 should let me flip those tanks upon arrival.

I do suppose the Trygon is a bit unneccassary though to remove him back to a Mawloc leaves me with around 100pts I dont know what to do with.

As much as I love Lictors, you could probably manage without them. Agree on the Trygon Prime, he is a little unnecessary.

I know everyone uses them, but how about Hive Guard for your Rhino woes? They should deal with annoying transports.
