Tactics are fairly simple. Stealers infiltrate as far up to get into cc asap. Flyrant zooms up as far as possible t1 to get a t2 assault. Both broodlords and flyrant roll on biomancy and doom rolls on telepathy for psychoc shriek. The main idea of this list is to be up in the enemies face right away and get almost everything in CC t2 (besides doom since he/she can't).

Thoughts? I tabled a SW pod list t2 (unless you count the pods then its t3) with this list except doom was deathleaper for some fun

Sounds like a very funny list, although 2 brain leech devourers are probably the better weapon simply because you are already ap2 high Initiative and the devourers add more versatility.

Its not overly competitive though because of the low model count, bad all around saves and bad objective taking abilities. So you will probably get your wins by a few points of denying him his objective while getting line breaker. Just be sure that the flyrant and the doom are your army, if they die then its over. But it looks like fun, I demand a battle report!

I have my reasons for taking a pure CC flyrant (we have a strong CC environment with daemons so getting to swing first against a nurgle prince before he IDs you is pretty important)

I have founf that broodlords make for very durable scoring with biomancy giving them a nice boost. The stealers are mainly body bags as far as scoring goes but their CC prowess is fairly good when/if they hit. Tervigons are just too slow and can be counter deployed too easily at this low points leaving them doing pretty much nothing all game. Stealers have the speed and can infiltrate to make sure counter deployments can't happen since I always deploy after them besides the flyrant but he is fast enough to the point where it doesn't matter much for him.
