Have you any tips ? TY

(sorry for my bad english)

A good rule of thumb is taking as few upgrades as possible. Your units are very very squshy so more bodies are optimal.
Brainleech worms, wings and electroshock grubs is all you need on your flyrant.
Stick with the basic termigaunts. Spike rifles are sub-par.
I find upgradless Hormigaunts to be fine.
Skyswarm rippes are not worth their points.
You are lacking synapse, so I would reccomend adding a tervigon. Additionally, you could just make a 30 man squad of termiguants to make it scoring!

TLR
More Flyrants (Best unit in the codex)
Tervigon is reliable synapse
The fewer upgrades the better.

I would cut your termies in half or down to one group of 30. Give half of them devourers. And take a tervigon as troup with the 30.

Otherwise yeah, upgrades eat up a lot of points.

not much to add, but currently the best way to build a Carnifex is two sets of Brain Leeches (just like the Tyrant) so you might want to magnetise.

Good luck, and welcome to the Hive Mind!

OK, you should drop most of the upgrades and spend the points elsewhere. Lose Regen, and all the Glands, and the Claws, and spend the points on some more Synapse. You are fatally short on it. A Brood of Warriors would help, and they will come in handy for many of the Formations.

Zoeys are almost always useful (Zoanthropes) and after that look at a Venothrope or two for some Shrouding.
