Welcome to the Hive! Here are a few points to help you out.

You have basically an entire skyblight formation in there. You're better off to add in the gargoyles at this point. If not, the harpies are really not that great.

The rupture cannon is hundred ways of terrible. The number of times you'll miss both shots in a turn will make you cry. That, and it can only ever explode an open topped vehicle. Think about that. The strongest gun we have can't even take out a rhino.

Can you do FW? Because a Malenthrope can replace a Venom and Zoan and do both things better (aside from psychic powers).

Three Carnifex in one brood is a lot! I usually just run two.

Thanks or the reply.
Im working with some limitations, no 3 of the same unit, unless its troops, so cant do Skyblight cause of the 3 Gargoyle units.

Is the Fleshborer Hive worth it ?

[gigasnail]

sadly, no. it's pretty much acid spray + egrubs on tfexes; all the other options are really horrible.

[nameless]

In terms of models, how much do you have with other options?

[valdrog]

I have:
Swarmlord
1 Tervigon
80 Stealers
5 BroodLords
50 Termagants
25 Hormogaunts
50 gargoyles
1 More Hive Tyrant...but can only use 2 cause of the restrictions
2 Mawlocks
4 Warriors
1 Lictor
4 Biovores
10 Ripper bases
