This list is for an upcoming tournament and reflects 10 or so games of experience. The main problem I've been having is that by having several Flyrants and deep strikers, the rest of the foot slogging army is slow to catch up and vulnerable to getting out of synapse. Therefore I tried to cut down non-Flying and deepstriking models to a minimum. The feedback I'm looking for is whether or not the list will be viable in games where objectives are important, as my main options for claiming objectives are gliding FMCs which leaves them vulnerable.

The Venomthrope is only there to provide shrouded if I don't get first turn, after that it will just try to claim a nearby objective. The idea is that the Rippers come in an claim objectives after nearby enemies have been dealt with.

Please don't include the points values for everything. Rules can't be copyrighted, but the mods get pissy.

List looks good. Belly flop that Venomthrope (go to ground) once you get an objective so you don't run off the table
