Strategy; deploy Behemoth (excluding Rippers) and Tyrannofex on the field, Hormagaunts screening and Tyrant Guard protecting Swarmy. If I dont get the first turn, there's plenty of Genestealers that hopefully survive long enough to attack with buffs from Swarmy and Broody. Kronos flyers go for objectives and tries to deny enemy psychic powers. There's 7 command points to play with, highly priority is The Deepest Shadow, Brute Force and Caustic Blood, while secondary back-up are Rapid Regeneration, Over Run and Death Frenzy.

If your looking for screening termagants are a little bit cheaper than hormagaunts so you can get a few more for the points. I would also give the genestealers scything talons and 5 acid maws as a free AP-3 wepon just for taking 20 of them is amazing and gives them flexibility against targets. The last suggestion i would have for you is an exocrine over the tyrannofex only for the reason an exocrine can pump out 12 S7 AP-3 D2 shots hitting on 3's re-rolling 1's if he stands still.

Yeah, exocrine is a intresting choice, but tyrannofex is there for knights and I m curious about it's performance. Hormagaunts are just to fill up points, but they can actually do something if they survive. I have to check again those acid maws.

Looks cool. You might want the Miasma, or Balethorn instead on the Norn though, for just a little more dakka. I'm interested in how Tyrannofexen will be this edition, so far they are looking pretty good.

Once you get a few games in please let us know how it's been doing. Good luck! And good hunting!

Yeah the Norn crown isn't really going to help much. It extends the ignore Instinctive behavior, not the Synapse. That flyrant is already at a 30" bubble, you are probably better off taking a relic that will actually do something. I second Miasma or Balethorn.
