The 6+++ that Leviathan has is still awesome even if its way more restrictive than other armies 6+++ legion trait This makes this army really hard to kill when you add the Venomthropes Shroud and Carnifex Spore cyst.

Never Forget Isstvan!

Leviathan is definitely the time to use Tyrant Guard for some HVC/deathspitter tyrants with a pyrovore + gaunt screen and zoanthropes for a big blob of nope.
A unit of 5 tyrant guard with catalyst on them is effectively gaining your hive tyrants an extra 25 wounds if they shoot the guard first or an extra 55 wounds if they shoot the leviathan tyrants.

Probably better off just going pure leviathan. Take lashwhip and bonesword and make it the Reaper of Obliterax, add Toxin sacs.
Since you don't get rerolls with the behemoth relic do to CA, its not as good IMO

Tough Tyrant Guard

I know the lack of "re-roll "1" to hit" is annoying on a scything talon Relic but the extra attacks and strength more than makes up for that IMO. I like it soooo much better than the Reaper Relic TBH.
Behemoth is also a great Trait to help garantee the charge especially combined with AG, this can have a much greater tactical strength then a 6+++
I have a hard time with Tyrant Guards TBH, not sure of their worth against a canny opponent
