Hey guys thanks a ton for the responses. Checked last night, malanthrope would be good to go with this list. Two issues though, getting the model and book in time. That's a $100+ investment for one model, not sure I (ahem, the wife) can swing that.
Played two games last night, first was dark eldar/eldar list, second was a space wolf with imperial knight list. Couple impressions:
1st game: warriors with splinter racks is brutal!!!! He only had one skyfire unit and wrecked my fliers. Still only lost by a few points bc I have 5 units with obsec that were DS. Also, one unit of gargoyles tied up the WK for three turns, very happy with that.
2nd game: Lol. I felt bad. I have been really worried about knights, so I asked my buddy to bring his. It was his second game, and he probably deployed it to aggressively, but I killed it first turn. No longer worries about single knight lists. He couldn't deal with my fliers, I wrecked everything but his massive TWC unit, but they didn't threaten much.
I'm definitely making a few changes. The lictor is going. As much as I want to use him, and the DS onto an objective is great, he's just not worth 50 pts. Once he grabs the objective, he falls over to a stuff breeze and is just worthless. The Biovores, while so effective and cheap, just won't cut it. Against a 3+ army, or transport lists, that just didn't perform. The zoanthrope was also worthless as he sat on the back corner with then and he was out of range for his spells. Dropping the lictor and Biovores gives me 170 pts. I'm thinking of putting in an exocrine, and he will sit in ruins for the zoanthrope and venomthrope. It's a huge ground target and will take a lot of their non-sky fire/twin linked fire, but his stats at 2+ cover should make him durable. I would also switch the harpies HVC back to the STC, which I think would give me 15 points. Harpies suck btw. I hate that tax.
