Not too bad.
I'd move the Venomthropes to the Leviathan detachment so they can be used to buff the warriors. As the exocrines/biovores won't get as much use out of them.
I'd also consider changing the psychic power on one of your Leviathan Neurothropes to something else, probably Catalyst. As doubling up on psychic scream is probably just going to mean that one of them won't be able to cast two powers.

Consider swapping two of those ripper swarm units to a pair of Lictors. Lictors are great secondary scorers in 9th. Making Deploy Scramblers almost unfailable, and contributing greatly to Engage On All Fronts. Rippers aren't bad objective grabbers either, but being Swarms are unable to take most actions.

Wasn't there an FAQ about you couldn't use the same Adaptive Physiology twice?

First time I've heard about that, so going to say nope. Battlescribe has also never complained about me using multiple 5++ for my monsters

Never heard of this. Also have seen some big itc guys play testing armies with the same 2.



Yeah as far as changes venomthropes in main part probably better. Also moved a neurothrope to 2nd detachment to keep some synapse there. Also put norm crown on one of them and pathogenesis on prime. Since he is usually behind warriors the extra range keeps him able to shoot.

I don't currently have any lictors but someone suggested the same thing to me.
