Thoughts? I have at my disposal 16 hormagants, about 10 more stealers, 1 biovore, any version of Hive tyrants/swarlord, tyrannofex, Zoanthrope. Proxys will be OK if you have suggestions. Not much I know but any help is appreciated. Thanks

I'd probably run the first list. Stealers outflank works well with swarmlord. In second list the gargoyle screen seems a bit too small for me as they are very brittle.

I was thinking the same. I'd go with the second for mobility and one more ranged capable unit for transports but I'd want more gargoyles. Side note: with gargoyles....even without, I prefer Old Adversary. Rerolling misses is colossal.....particularly with the gargoyles' auto-wound on 6's.

In the second list if i were to drop the brood lord I would be able to up the gargoyles to 18 with no upgrades. By doing this I could give the Tyrant old adversary over hive commander. Would that make list 2 more viable? TS on the gargoyles would be nice too along with AG but then I would need to drop the prime on trygon.
I do like the swarmlord with the powers to outflank stealers more accurately.
Thoughts?
