Swarmy roids on bio. Lictors are there to open up armor and play mindgames. Biovores provide pie plates for anti infantry. I don't see much of anything threatening this army..?

The lictor are going to die fast, only 3 of them per brood and they have a very very limited threat range.

Remember they don't get to assault on arrival. So most any gunline will eat them. I see the average gun line or mech guard giving you fits. DE will clean sweep your troops. Problem is the you elites are all starting off the board.

Necrons will outrun you, then outgun you. Tau will outgun you and not have to move, and IG will tarpit you, then outgun you.

It's fun though! At least it isn't cookie cutter and lictor models fulfill the s^&% out of rule #1!

Nice to see something different, but you're just going to be unhappy with all those lictors? S6 shooting on a BS3 platform with no twinlinking is not a reliable vehicle killer. With Ap- it will also struggle against power armour. They will turn up, do average damage and then die horribly I'm afraid.

Maybe take deathleaper as a single model as he is useful even when he doesn't engage?

I like the 9 biovores as a great horde killer but you do have literally nothing that can harm a flyer.

I'm aware of that. Lictors are there for surgical strikes, counting on the rends to pop vehicles. DE vehicles have crap armor and they will put anything else down in my army before I reach them anyways.. I think lictors have a better chance against DE venom than Hiveguard do. I see 9 biovores giving Tau/DE gunlines a lot of trouble once their troops are exposed.

I'd be more concerned with necrons in this case, and thank you!

The lictors are there to prioritize flyers and with everything in my army hitting flyers on 6's anways it only makes sense. They will simply appear next to flyers and go to work and let the biovores take care of the contents.
