Swarmlord
Tyrant guard x1

5 Ymargl genestealers
5 Ymargl genestealers

15 genestealers with broodlord implant attack and scything talons ( I tend to see ALOT of wraithknights and riptides)
15 genestealers with broodlord implant attack and scything talons
18 termagants with adrenal glands
tervigon adrenal and toxin cluster spines ( outflanking)

20 gargoyles adrenal and toxin

mawloc


Idea is to pick a corner of opponents backfield and swarm it with multiple threats and overwhelm that side of the board.

Swarmlord and guard deploy behind gaunts and gargs who will be the third wave in the attack.
The Swarmlord buffing himself and others with psychic powers while providing synapse to the gargs and gaunts as well as preferred enemy.
The Mawloc will deploy in back ready to burrow to pop up in back corner.
Genestealers usually infiltrate in chosen corner side by side in area terrain in case they need to go to ground Broodlords will roll on bio,or telepathy depending on army facing . Second turn all 4 units that are in reserve should come out with swarmys +1 and flood the corner. Genestealers will assault if they did not go to ground along with the ymargls .
With the tervigon all the units should be fearless even if they lose combat. Second wave is the group of termagants that the tervigon spawns as well as herself and the mawloc if needed. All these elements should keep fire power away from the swarmlord and his posse for a couple of turns for them to crash into what remains of their lines. Obviously hammer and anvil will keep the swarmy in back field for most of the game unless I roll up gate .
This isn't super competitive by any means but when it works should be a lot of fun for myself.
