With 10 more Hormagaunts, you have all of the units needed for the Endless Swarm formation. That could be a good way to get more use out of your squishy units.

I would also look at using a Trygon instead of a Mawloc for this instance, as the Trygon would create the tunnel that your endless swarm gaunts could go through to come back into play.

I'm guessing you are using the Hive Fleet formation for the 3 HQ slots, so I'm not too sure on how many troop choices you would need to add to keep it, and maybe adding some min Genestealer squads, but thats still more points... and to get the points to do all of my suggestions, would likely mean dropping the Exocrine... or just moving to a regular CAD and dropping one of the Tyrants.

All in all, the list looks function-able, but my worry would be limited synapse 1st turn if you decide to start with your Tyrants off the board in reserve.

I didn't think about that formation thanks for mentioning it. I much prefer the mawloc over the trygon but I can see it's usefulness. The synapse shouldn't be a problem as all the tyrants will start on the board along with zoanthropes and warriors all with 12" synapse plus dominion can give me 18" synapse.

Looks pretty good!

The only suggestions that come to mind are more "style" than substance...I would take a Dakkafex before I took a Exocrene...if you like Exocrene, you have most of a "Living Artillery Node" so you should look at adding in the Biovores for that.

But "as is" I think you have a winnable list.

Haha thank you I am saving for 3 biovores at the moment but to include them I think I'll need to 1850 points with some other beasties haha
