Getting tired of being mauled in the face by GW and their rules, so had to come up with something that actually works. Tried several tings, and stopped on this. I know it looks like a rip-off from 6th ed, but back then I played with OOE, pyrovores and mawloc, because I was seeing some potential in them. I don't now, so had find something new to remove from table after hostile shooting phase.
== HQ ==
Hive Tyrant (1) - Twin-Linked Devourer - Brainleech Worms, Twin-Linked Devourer - Brainleech Worms, Regeneration, Wings = 260 pts.

== Heavy Support ==
Carnifex Brood (2) - Twin-Linked Devourer - Brainleech Worms, Twin-Linked Devourer - Brainleech Worms, Adrenal Glands = 330 pts.
Carnifex Brood (2) - Twin-Linked Devourer - Brainleech Worms, Twin-Linked Devourer - Brainleech Worms, Adrenal Glands = 330 pts.
== Total ==
1850 pts.
Dropped prime from HQ, since he became more expensive and less effective. Also, I don't need some backfield synapce there. Flyrants take the role of AA, making Crones (which I never hoped onto) unneeded. Oh, and they also bring free bonus powers and warpcharges.
Warriors lost their old-school poison, but are still good. Been thinking of equipping them with Renders. Granted, they'll rarely come in handy, but... for mere 5 pts, why the hell not.
Hormies suffered the same problem, and instead of fully-buffed ubergaunts now I run three sensible units, covering whole table and making enemy nervous. Also, with big bubbles it's easier to keer its taile in synapce and shroud cloud.
And the last, but not the least - my little carnies. awesome model, awesome rules, love them. Especially now, when every other monster was nerfed, carnifexes still dish out a lot of s9-s10 attacks, which is very sexy. Although to free some points, I had to drop my t-fex (it worked mainly as a distraction unit, now there are othre things for that), and mawloc (I know his theoretical pros, especially against new much-feared Invisibility; but every time I used him in 7th, I NEVER managed to land a "hit" with TftD, so he was just eating pts and dying horribly funny or just plain horribly. Tired of his whims, guy had to rest on a shelf).
Something like that.
Oh, and no matter how I tried to name this list, it ended up sounding like George Martin's book, so I guess this already makes it about 20% cooler.
