It's Screamerstar, you know how it works. Be'lakor is there for backup and to bring invisibility onto the screamers incase the grimoire herald gets sniped for whatever reason. C&C would be welcome, I haven't played with Screamerstar in a long time so I don't know how it is with the current meta of drop pod spam and scatbikes.

I love the Screamer Star and it still has its place in competitive lists but I think you are way over doing it here. Without Hit and Run it just doesn't stack up against other CC Deathstars (think Iron Priests on TWM w/ bikes plus either lots of grav or Conclave) in terms of damage output and will be seriously in trouble against the new MSU contenders as you pointed out. I'd drop 2 Heralds and the third unit of Horrors for something that hits hard. Either a D Thirster to benefit from Invis, a couple Soul Grinders, lots of Flesh Hounds for early game pressure, whatever else you've got really, That's a seriously over inflated Star you've got there and much lacking in the 'Death' portion of a Deathstar. With 7ths changes to the psychic phase the Screamer Star became much. more of a Utility Star than the S6 spitting death machine that it once was. Adjust accordingly.

Well I think the shotgun is classy.

Does Screamerstar only work with two heralds? In that case somethin like this would be more effective:

Use grimoire+cursed earth on screamers, invisibility on hounds. Again notcsure how it'd do in current meta but any advice welcome.

Aren't you missing a troop there ?

I want to make a list like this.. but fit the hounds in a gorepack and have a bastion to hide behind. Struggling to make it fit .

Whoops. Should be some nurgling swarms in there. Fixed it.

Late to the party, but the revised list looks better. Allows for much better board control with 2 big scary ground units as opposed to one.
