Thoughts?
I really need them!

Marine lists tend to have plenty of S8+ shooting so multi-wound T4 models (raveners, shrikes) are a risk unless you can saturate the field. You seem to be hoping that the BS3 rupture cannon will do the job for you on the tanks, I think this is a little hopeful and FMCs will be much better suited for this.

Why do you want Adrenal on tfex if using a long range Rupture Cannon?

The Vindicator has a short range so you have some time depending on deployment.

Chances of getting Onslaught twice on the Zoans is slim as you have to roll.

If you have any way of taking some more flyers, do it. He has barely any AA.
Out of the units you mentioned i'd take Cfexes with Devourers, Flyrant, Trygon, Tervigon, Shrikes with rending claws, Terms, Prime and Zoans.

Go easy on upgrades. Thorax is great. Adrenal Glands isn't worth it on 3 Cfex as they'll be shooting. The Miasma is worth it imo if you're tight on points.

Unfortunately the only FMC I own is a flyrant. I want more though.

How about this?

Looks pretty good...too light on troops for me...but that is "just me" I'd drop the Hive Guard to pick up a troop (or Two)
