So, I have a bunch of carnifex's laying around and they inspired this monstrosity!

Exocrine and tyrannofex thrown in to provide different styles of shooting support and a crone to help vs air.

And here is a slightly different version relying on turn 2 deepstrike shennanigans to provide target saturation so the fex's can make it to their targets. This one is going all in on the ground with zero anti air ability.

Effective or competitive? Probably not in the slightest... but seems like they could be a lot of fun!

Here is a modified version after some tips:

A more efficient version would probably be -1 Haruspex, - 2 groups of spore mines, +1 dakkafex, +1 venomthrope. I really just wanted to shove the Haruspex in because I love the model and it's not like he's really hurting an army like this.

Do you have more than 6 Carnifexes? Because I would be tempted to run even more...

I have 9, which is why I have 9 in this list lol. If I get a 10th one, it's replacing the Haruspex.

I've had an intesting idea, while eating breakfast...I could try to modify a "No Synapse" list to 1345, and toss in a Synapse Node (around 505...) and it just might be a good list So I'm going to doodle around awhile, and see what happens. Any input is welcome

Synapse Node (505)

Prime, Deathspitter, Twin Bone (why?, cause thats how I built him ) 145?
Warrior Brood: x3, Rending Claws x2, Deathspitters x2, Cannon (strangle) 120 (see above...)
Warrior Brood: as above
