Edit, didn’t see one tyrant has the bale thorn cannon. Disregard that

Dakkafexs w/ sporcecist and enchanced senses, (117 i think) would be cheaper and better than exocrines. Use extra points to take more devilgants for Double shoot stratagem.

Give onslaught to a Neurothropes in case you have to move the Hive Guard or your Heavy support units so they don't take the penalty for moving and shooting.

Also, why stranglethorn cannon over Venom cannons?

I would change one of the Horror Powers to Paroxysm. It nice to force a big bad unit to always fight last and counterplay into a Counter Charge Stratagem.

Or, for example, if you don't wipe a unit you charge with your GS but they are Parxosym'd, on the following opponent turn if they are still locked in combat, and say that is the only fight to do, you still get to attack first.

Minor nit pick but Balethorn is a Fleet specific item, so you need to swap around so that Tyrant is Kronos.

Yeah missed that. I would just drop the stanflethorn relic, keep the CP, and take another Venom cannon or devourers instead, and leave it leviathan.

Here is an updated list taking some of your guys advice a bit. Thoughts? Rippers are kronos to possibly be in range to pop deepest shadow. I play in a heavy psyker meta
