This list designed to beat Tau. The idea is to infiltrate the gene stealers near any of the enemy units and assault when they can. this makes it so that your opponent has to fire at many different targets. the units moving up the board or the genestealers. if they fire at the genestealers  then they aren't focussing on the units moving up and not the genestealers. and the same the other way around.

Personally I believe your lacking in synapse a little and for the mawlocs to be more effective you'll need a lictor or two for no scatter. And as for getting up close and personal you could probably save points by putting gaunts in a tyrannocyte to be fair and the tyrannocyte is something else the tau player needs to think about

Most model are already fearless or have a good leadership. If you play with the hfd you can re-roll their instinct if you fail the ld.

If the gargoyle need to be close of the flyrants. I dont think the horma are here for the cc

I'd say drop a tyrannocyte keep a brood of zoanthropes with the bulk of the army and I'd take two flyrants. I've found that the tervigon starts to become less effective after 1000 points unless you run two and give them crushing claws. Or drop one zoanthrope brood and put a tyrannofex/toxicrene in the tyrannocyte?

i will most likely run a second flyrant. i will try to find room.

You'll find that is far more effective in games
