Hi. What are good flyrants? I am leviathan but I asume other responders have different fleets if they wanne chime in.

I have a flyrant I converted back in 6th. It has 4 arms all with fleshborer hives. It is kunda descending and landing in the bottom once. I really like the model. How should I kit it out? Am I loosing out on not having any biocannon or close combat weapon?

Yeah I think you are losing out not having the MRC. Biocannon doesn't seem like a must though - You could just go with devourers for your range weapon and I think it's still pretty good. Take with with MRC and a Miasma cannon for sure (the optimal load out IMO). Then for any additional you can go for devourers and MRC or You could for the other relic cannon too which will cost you 1 command point. A full melle build seems like a waste. I'd rather have 12 shots than 1 more attack in CC.

I also think kraken favors flying hives the most. However it's also the best way to deliver kronos phychic denial plus i think the Miasma cannon has to be kronos right?

Thats a Bad Ace conversion though man. I'd leave it the way it is. For the MRC I just add some talons on the wing and it looks like a claw.

I think it's going to be almost standard to give a hive tyrant the miasma cannon and MRC. It's cheap and a good sturdy platform for a pretty great relic gun.

I Honestly like a walking Tyrant as my WL, Jormungandr Fleet with other shooting units around (like Tfe, Dakkafex's, Exocrines, Hive guard etc...) With Miasma Cannon, Deathspitters abd Trait "Units within 3" of WL ignore cover with shooting".

I also am taking 2 Fleets and have 2more Dakka Flyrants

Tho... I'm thinking about a Melee Tyrant as Behemoth and 2 MRC's with AG for a DSing +1 charge re-rolling to charge with re-rolling hits/wounds for a character killer.

I'm certainly the outlier but I plan on running FHT with 2x Devourers the 7T 12W will keep them around for two turns if you watch your positioning from D6 damage You can even dive in and fall back to protect yourself as well. I run with enough CP to give him +1 Damage during his shooting phase. That should provide enough value against Primaris Marines and Harlequins that I play against. All the while my broodlord and hoard of Genestealers walk up the board relatively unmolested.

I'm planning on MRC, and a gun, at least one HVC>Miasma, and a Strangle> Balethorn...but, I magnatised my Tyrants, Right now I plan on three in a Supreme Command, and maybe a fourth in the Brigade, those will likely be Deathspitters...I'm not sure, do I want range and AP, or shots?

It's real nice to have choices!
