I will play this in a friendly game against tyranids most likely.

Essentially I grabbed the formation and started maxing out units until I hit 2000.

Not entirely sure what to do with the overlord. Solar thermasite I have never used before, but it's nice to have the overlord instagibb T4 tyranid warriors and shrikes and reroll saves of 1. Just don't know where to put him. With immortals probably. I could free up more points for a nightscythe and fly in immortals and overlord. Or 14 warriors, but against Nids it's probably less important. 2x 6 wraiths should secure me some elbow space.

The formation let's me choose one of monster Hunter, crusader, fearless or counter attack for the turn, should be fun and games

I'd drop the Overlord and pick up Namesor Nahndrekh. Turn 2 grab Target Priority to re-roll 1's. Then change your trait as needed during the game.

Although, you could also try to work in Imotekh The Stormlord so that you can drop his Lord Of The Storm ability. Since your opponent is running Tyranids, chances are he is going to have many units, which works in LotS's favor.

I think the formation requires a vanilla overlord, at least that what's battlescribe shows me. I'll check again when I get home tonight
