I would assume the list is pretty self explanatory, Gaunts provide the screen, the Warrior squads provide synapse, and the Fexes break things. Not meant to be competitive, but I would also like to think that I won't be tabled either.

Thoughts?

Looks like fun. Mostly minor items, I really don't think you Need Crushing Claws. If you can swing it Shrouding would be very useful. I always put a Strangle Cannon in each Warrior Brood, so I suggest that.

With a little bit of tinkering I think you can use this with a reasonable expectation of doing well.
