Still at 1792 p so what to do ?

Lictors and genestealers distractions to take the heat early. Gargoyles to screen the Carni and Tyrants.

Mawlocs to make a mess of the dug in lines.

Anyon that see something thats really not gona work ?

Gonna meet nearly every codex in the 40k range, except Tau i think.

It's a bit different take, and I kinda like it. Can't say how it'll work, particularly the Lictors and Stealers, since they rarely live long, but you have quite a nice agressive force with some MSU feel with the rippers.
