Hey,

You cant have armoured shell and wings

Personally im not that keen on genestealers.

If your keeping wings on the Tyrant you need to be careful with him out in the open. Possibly consider some Gargoyles as a screen and/or Harpy.

Additionaly, I dont see enough to deal with the threat of flyers and veichles. Maybe consider some Hive Guard or Extra Zoans

At 2k, you probably want to take 2 flying hive tyrants. Having only one means it's going to get shot down, quick.

What Lordfiend said, you can't have Armoured Shell and Wings

Troop genestealers aren't all that great anymore. Ymgarl Genestealers are quite strong now though.

Even the Hormagaunts aren't that great, when you compare them to a Tervigon buffed Termagent. Saves you a lot of points.

Devourer gaunts are DEADLY now. The 5th edition counter to them was charge them. Now, you take all their shooting as you charge them as well in overwatch.

Trygons are usually best in pairs.

Oh, lastly, since 6th is going away from mech and more infantry based, Doom has gotten much better.

Thanks for the advice. I'll rework the list and post it.

I made some changes. Not sure if it's too much on the troop side and too little on ranged heavy support. Not much anti armor. My plan with the flyrant was to take on flyers and/or jump in close to an objective and get into melee. I could drop the hormagaunts to get another tyrant or swarmlord. Suggestions?
