Mawloc with toxin

4 flyers with 7 MC in total. Feeling a little light on bodies but with proper use of cover everyone should get to where they are going. Thinking of dropping Mawloc for either gargoyles or an exocrine. With 8 haywire shots, 2 zoans and 4 dakka cretins feel that anti armour should be ok though

it feels a little light on synapse to me...

Granted, I still don't have enough models (I can run around 1k typically atm) to play big games, but that's just the way it feels to me...I could be wrong though.

Synapse coverage is a concern as I only have 4 models and 2 can be IK whilst the others are off galivanting but I don't know where else to add them without dropping an MC (or 2) and getting a couple of small warrior units

The simplest place to find points is upgrades...you have a Lot of Toxic, I like toxic sacks, but Synapse hunting will defeat your entire force in a hurry. A "vanilla" Warrior Brood, of x3: +Cannon, runs 100 per. They can camp on VPs in the backfield, and provide Synapse. If your front units start to fall back, they pop back as soon as they hit a bubble I always suggest Strangle Cannons, the pin test can make a huge difference.

If you can afford it I'd suggest Deathspitters as well for 10 more per Brood. Are you able to run FOC x2? Or Formations? If you can, it would probibly be an improvement to your effectiveness.

If you are looking for points, there are a lot of places you can pick them up. Personally, I always go for more bodies. 2 horms are going to do more than 1 with TS. Nids win through numbers.
If you drop the IH and all the TS, you have almost 200 points to play with. You could bump your horm squads up to 30, or get another dakkafex, or a squad of warriors for the backfield and boost both zoan squads to 2 each. You open up a lot of possibilities when you keep things cheap.

Hmm you do make a good point. Would dropping the Mawloc and all those upgrades and taking a large warrior unit instead be worth it? Or drop them and get a trygon prime and another Zoan?

If you drop all the Toxic, and the IH...you have around 200 (ish) so no need to drop the Mawloc. You could just add a couple of Warrior Broods (and maybe lose 1-3 Hormies to ballence) and have 5 Troops (better) with 2 more Synapse. The Strangle Cannons are just gravy. Me? I'd add one Warrior Brood, and Double both Zoey Broods, it adds less Synapse, but makes what you have much more durable.
