Pretty limited in versatility due to the Harridan taking up 50% of th points but should be fun whilst it lasts. Might be better off with a big brood of gargoyles attached to the Harridan instead of a Mawlocs / Crone too. Thoughts?

It's hard to not love Mawlocs...but I think you're right, a passel of Gargoyles is likely the way to go.

**jackmat89**

You could get gargoyles or you could get a void shield generator? 3 void shields would mean you would be able to deploy first turn without fear of being turbo lasered to death turn 1.

I do love mawlocs though!

The problem I have with this list is the rippers. You will die quickly and can't do much.

I would drop them and get some small-medium sized term squads. They will be able to hold objectives more effectively, and they will draw fire from your FMCs.

I think the reason for them being there is to not draw attention, just sit back on an objective later in the game with some comfy objective secured and be ignored for bigger targets (harridan, flyrant, etc.)
