Super fast list: 5 FMC, 5 Jump infantry units, 1 Flanking Devilgaunts unit, 3 running Venomthropes units to shroud the advance and a lone unit of warrior holding an objective lobing barbed large blast template 36" .

I was tinkering with the concept of using the Prime to protect the Venomthropes and, even though he is 45pts more then the last codex for no good reason, he might still be able to pull his weight to protect my shrouding.
Im happy the Skyblight swarm allow me to get a Prime and still have 2x Flyrant. The Venomthropes goals are to run every turn to try and keep up with this super fast list.
I have a total of 305pts spent on keeping my army shrouded even as it advances forward.

the Skyblight Swarm also allows the use of Shrikes and Guargoyles without losing space for a decent FMC force. Shrikes are very decent if you can give them some cover saves. Given the target saturation of this list I believe they will be left relatively un-shot before they start charging people with their 5 rending attacks each.

Guargoyles just there to blind units to hold them off and keep them from shooting me, to capture and superhold objectives as well as coming back from the dead

lots of FMC, shooting the hell out of him, also to charge him to hold units from shooting anymore since they are the fasted close combat fighters unit type in the game, (I love FMC)

Well if the Prime's job is baby sit Venos, why not give him an extra job? Bust loose 25 points and give that boy a Miasma Cannon (I think he can have it anyway... )

I want the team to run, to move with the rest of the flyer. he has no shooting... although getting the option would be nice., maybe taking out 2 devourer on termagaunts and 3 guargoyles (one from each team) to give me 26 pts for it... maybe.

I'd recommend you at least test out a time or two...its even all "fluffy". Veno brood+ Miasma Template= "Forging a narative"
