Looks scarey! I would try to pop in a Magus for some extra Psychic though.

I agree with the above. Perhaps lose the rending claws on a unit.

The powers for GSC are very strong, especially hypnosis. Nothing better than ignoring overwatch when those stealers pop in.

Pesky stuff that has to be taken/defines the model.

I like the list as is though you could downgrade yarrick to an HQ commissar and pick up a magus if you wanted.

Not true. From 1.1 errata:

Page 142 – Genestealer Cults Points Values
Change the points per model value for Purestrain
Genestealers to read ‘15’.
