I like this list. I'd likely drop the termagaunts out of the kronos and beef up your stealer squads. Or drop the rippers with the stealers, move the gaunts there and beef up either uints with the 33 points.

I'm not sold on the HVC on the tyrant. They work better with devourors. Looks like a decent list IMO and should be fun to play.

why monstrous scything talons instead of monstrous rending claws in one of the tyrants?
