This is attempting a take at JY2s Maximum Threat Overload lists from 6/7th ed.
The basic idea is that everything drops/pods in barring the Flyrant with Gargs who fly as fast as possible upfield supported by the Mal early on (Stealers go with Trygons and Warriors/gants pod in).

Biggest issues I see is how to defend VS proper alpha strike armies and balancing in match play games # of units on the board VS reinforcements.

Any views?
