2 FMC and warriors, exocrine to suck up the fire power, swarm swarms ahead whilst ex and bios chuck acidic death over their heads

Are you opposed to formations? Because you could fit the Biovores into one group and have a Living Artillery Formation.I would also cut down on Warriors to a minimum of three (with the Barbed Strangler as required for LA) and replace the Prime with another Flyrant at this points level, because Flyrants are without a doubt, the best HQ (maybe the best unit in the Codex). Two Flyrants will also keep up with your Hormies and provide Synapse, whereas if your one Flyrant dies, your Hormies will more than likely start to eat themselves.

Could also be worthwhile having the Gargoyles in one brood and finding points for another Hive Crone as well as Electroshock grubs on the Flyrants to help with AT.

Im not opppsed to formations ive just never read any so not sure what it entails.

I would run 2 flyrants but EVERYONE runs two and sometimes nice to be different. I might consider a walking tyrant though and drop the prime and someother bits to fit him in

Fair enough about the Flyrant, it is generally accepted as the best HQ option (maybe the best unit in the Codex).

The Living Artillery formation consists of an Exocrine, a unit of 3 Biovores and a unit of Warriors with a Basic Bio-Cannon. The formation grants Pinning to all weapons (including the Devourers/Plasma Assault 6 Weapon) and also grants the ability to re-roll the scatter dice when firing blast or barrage weapons, so long as they are within 12 inches of the Warrior Brood. Aside the Pinning and re-roll (which as RAW, means you don't have to re-roll all the dice, just the scatter dice), it also opens up options for HS, so you can have Carnifexes Mawlocs and stuff.
