Broodlord
3 x Venomthropes
6 x Warriors (various weapons)
40 x termigaunts
44 x hormagaunts
20 x gargoyles
5 x ripper swarms
6 x spore mines
8 x genestealers
Dimachaeron
2 x Trygon
Tyranacyte

Its a VERY easy kit to magnetize for both.

I will echo Lance845's comment. I finally got a hold of one (they are soooo damn expensive). Easy as heck to magnetize and so worth it.

Id go for harpy. Just seems better in more situations.

Hive Crone doesnt do as much in damage but is slightly cheaper, IMO the Harpy is always the clear winner to take.

If Haywire was a bit better that would be different.

Safe option is magnetize to prepare for when GW flips their balance upside down as they likely will one day.
