Warriors go in the Trygon Tunnel to ambush with the lictors.  Small horm brood goes with shrikes on a flank.  Large one in the middle with stealers and venomthropes.  Other beasts scattered around.  Will keep tyrant near the guard for now and then swoop in for assassination.

I think one of my biggest problem is the horms and stealers out running the venomthopes.  But since you can't really block line of sight with my understanding of the rules, I can at least start them up front in cover and hope for the best.

And I'm keeping the Haruspex.
