Looks like a fun army. You don't list a Hive Fleet so, you shound consider that as part of the build. One "lack" is Hive Guard, their non LOS shooting, combined with a Strat (Shoot x2) is consider (rightfully) a cornerstone to building a force. the second "issue" is Adrenals on the Hormagaunts. You almost certainly can find a better place to spend thaose points. If no where else, the Big bugs like the Tyrant, and the Trygon. Good luck! And good hunting!

I didn't even notice that. My apologies. All of them are painted as Hive Fleet Behemoth.

Thanks for the reminder!

Ah, if you're Behemoth, they have cool smash into(Hammer of wrath) strats to inflict Mortals. In that case more Horma swarms could be useful.Maybe two of x20 or so. Behemoth is good for Carnifexen as well so they might be a good fit in the Heavy slot.

Thank you very much for the advice!
