Synaptic creature units: 3 (6 models)

Plan is very simple, the tyrant is the shieldwall absorving unit having a unit of warriors to cover the guards and combined with 2 units of venomthropes to give me benefit of an overall and wider cover bonus which keeps my horde safer.
The Exocrine is my harassing model for plasma problem since most of my monsters are shooting source, even the carnifexes got shoots in case a flyer walks around to relief a bit pressure on the hive crones.

Still got the following considerations.
Replace lashwhip and sword for an h.cannon or another devourer (although lash and sword is ment for melee in which at I8 I might give a bad tasting flavour vs other monsters as well as a potencial 6s to wound to cause ID.
I could replace the exocrine for a mawlock sparing me 30pts for something else, like tyrants regens for example. also a good way to pop off tau pathfinders that will marker light me to dead to remove cover saves....
Also hoping having 2 psyker units I can get luck on the catalsyt feeding FnP around making it harder to get on my models...

What you think?

How are you going to use those crones? With your synapse being slow you will have to limit their movement. If you swoop them forward and they go into feed they are dead.

the crones are about to hovering bettewn 2 nodes of venomthropes (back and forth) getting a shroud cover, they really can keep range at 36" for least 2 turns since thye shoot 2missiles a turn. in which within this area they do still benefit from the shroud which combined with evade its a 3+ cover(they dont need to shoot afterwards vs flyers or ground, for the vector its quite potent still to buy me that turn...

and remember the feed rule makes us getting closer to the enemy right? but didnt restricted to hover over them to get a vector strike in right?

and while swooping I can´t charge hahaha

so they can´t force me to go into combat unless the bird is popped off the sky

so basically while hes flying up high I really got no issue at all with being on synapse or not other than I can´t shoot , but thats it, swooping thankfully limit my other stuff that would eventually would deal a killing blow by getting 2 close to my oponents...
