Zoanthropes are the Synapse pillar of any non-competitive list. Tough sources of Synapse able to keep up with the swarm because they can run every turn with no downside.

Venomthropes, obviously do their things.

Mawlocs are the single greatest 'in case of emergency' model I know of. If things go south, they can even bash into a current Assault and carve out a hole in your opponent. I beat Skyhammer with a Mawloc, and that's not easy to do. I can't always rely on the big bug, but when things go right, they go VERY right.

But, Hive Tyrants, Flyrants specifically, are the main model in the codex. Running two at 1000pts isn't uncommon, but it's not friendly to do so.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672053/8293772.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672053/8293772.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672053/8293891.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672053/8293891.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672053/8295934.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672053/8295934.page GMT
