I'd probably take venom cannons rather than barbed stranglers.

Instinctive Fire targets the closest thing you can see, regardless of whether it's something you can hurt easily or not.

Venom cannon shots are broadly less effective but are useable against a wider range of targets. You'll feel a lot better if its a venom cannon pointed at that rhino/venom/monstrous creature/etc.

Besides which, you have enough horde-splatting power with the biovores and warrors, and you can decide where that gets applied. Priority for a Tyrannocytes guns is useability against a wide variety of targets.


As to the remaining points... less sure. More hormagaunts and/or some upgrades for the brood, maybe? Those 15 don't really strike me as likely to achieve much, either as an attack unit or as a tarpit.


Termagants expended for the Hive Mind: ~2835

Yeah, you might surprise somebody, and get some value...heck if you're looking to buy a cheap and useful Brood why not Tunneling Rippers? (x4, costs 60?)

I would try to find the way to get another dakkafex, maybe by exchanging the warrior brood for another Malanthrope, taking out the gun upgrade on the tyranocyst, and taking out 10x termagaunts (5 from each units)

I really do not need a second one.,... my opponent doesnt play a lot of armour or anything. looking more swarm than anything. But that is probably what I will do if needed.... may actually play a list like that to see where it goes

Maybe, I like the idea of that honestly.


I like more of a horde army... I love just swarming them

Shoot take a look at Endless Swarm, if you have acess to the Dataslates. I posted a list or two called "Endless Tunnel Assault" a long while ago. It might give you some ideas. I think some of the variations included taking Glands because of the recycle effects justified the extra cost.
