Building a 1500 pt list for an upcoming tournament. Pretty straight forward but looking to fill in the points. I will be facing super heavies and other OP monsters but don't have any of my own which isn't a big deal. On to the list

Total 1405. 95 to work with. Thinking about a gargoyle screen, lictor and another ripper, 2 biovores, venom cannons on pod? Let me know your thoughts. I think some objective grabbers will be needed. Is 4 flyrants too many eggs in a basket?

I don't think you can have too many Tyrants.  at 1500 4 will be massively powerful.  I like list "2" better, but both look exelent.

If you're going leviathan you're better off with lictors than DS rippers due to not having OS anymore. 5pts more buys you a more durable and precise unit.
I préfère list 2 but primarily because I like Sky tyrant. I'd also play around with changing the dakkafex and pod for a hive crone + 70 pts to play with.
Dakkafexes in pods work great but having a crone in the sky to deal with flyers and light infantry is even better. let the flyrants deal with popping the <av12. >

5 flyrants in a 1500pt list is disturbing but unless I table the guy getting missions completed will be a challenge.

Yeah 5 Tyrants is "cutting edge"  It is an "all in" strategy...I don't think I will ever play that one...but running 4 is not outside my tolerances.

Instead of the Biovores I would have a Bastion for the Malanthrope. Protecting that will keep your Flyrants alive for the first turn, especially against alpha strikes. Additionally, five might be overkill at this level, four is still tough as is. I think you could remove one Flyrant and have a ground force in place of it.
