I am going to a tournament next month. The beta and event rules will be used. What do you think about my list? I am not sure about he dakka Tyrant and the Tyranofex. 3 more Hive Guard to make it a unit of 6 is probably a good idea but i only have 3 so i think i am gonna buy 3 more. the Termagants will be used to screen the artillery units.

This list is decent. Nice bit of backfield shooting. From a competitive standpoint, I'd go double batallion(just 2 cp's less). I'd drop mucolids, spore mines, lictor, malceptor and get 3 mawlocs.

Mawlocs are just too good to pass up on. Together with 3 flyrants they can really create som trouble especially for gunlines. Having 6 t:6 and 7 monsers in the enemys face turn 2 is really overwhelming and the enemy needs to deal with them ASAP. I've heard people bring more anti infantry now too.

You should definitively buff the hive guard to 6, It'll give them a lot more punch especially considering they imo are the best unit for the "single minded annihilation stratagem.

I also have a malanthrope. I might swap it out for a neurothrope, he's a bit too expensive for what he does imo, well you have a bit more in the backfield than I, so you might benefit more from it. I have 6 HG, a tyrannofex and 2 biovores. He's half the points. Also soul hunger should go on someone close to psychers, it only has 18" range.

I made a few changes to the army. I don't think the Mawloc is that good anymore. It can use its ability only once now. I agree the Lictor is not good.
I removed the Tyranofex, Exocrine and Lictor. I will move one Maleceptor with Metabolic Override to get him close to the enemy so he can use is ability. The Neuro will also advance and will in my 2nd turn start to threaten psykers with his soul hunger.
