1000 pts melee heavy list, semi casual tourney

[teppie]

So me and my gaming Group are having a small 1000 point tournament. I have had greatsuccess with my hive so far wrecking all kinds of cheesy, and not so cheesy, lists.

This time however I want to go all in on the melee theme just for (please do not swear) and giggles and see how I do.

The list I have come up with so far

2x HT with lw/bs , ag, oa 500
2x venomthrope 90

10x hormagaunts 50
10x hormagaunts 50

3x shrikes: 2x lw/bs, 1x rc. Ag and flesh hooks
159 pts

1x ag cc carnifex 150. A total of 999 juicy points

I will most likely face a jetbike eldar with some wraithlord support. Some ork list with plenty of boys. A khorne world eaters list and lastly some daemons/chaos sm.

I don't think there will be any flyers and if so I will simply ignore them. Do you guys think I can drop one venomthrope or is that too risky? (Dont have access to D boy or malanthrope but I have pretty much everything else)

I had the idea of trying to squeeze in a broodlord in order to pin those pesky lobbas I am sure to face but I would have to drop the shrikes in order to do that.

What do you guys think. Is this even viable?

Able to play some test games? It certainly looks fast and fun.

I will simply see how it goes. It's tempting to make the carnifex into a dakkafex but I think I'm going to stick with the no shooting thing and hope someone brings something worthwhile for my carnifex to charge. Really wish stonecrushers could get fleet!

If not atleast I will win some coolness points for running a balls out melee list.
