Scything Talons + Deathspitters a solid setup? I might actually build two fexs like this

Monstrous rending claws is the more popular option as it's free.

Carnifexes can't actually take Monstrous Rending Claws though, right?  I mean I had the same thought myself when I first looked at building a TC, but there was no option in their profile that allows you to add them, since the Scything Talons can only be swapped out for Monstrous Bio-cannons, or a single set of Crushing Claws.

You are correct! I'd never actually looked properly as I don't run fexen. Since Crushing Claws are so terrible, Scything looks like the way to go.

I wish they could take M-rending claws

I'd consider taking one Stone Crusher Fex with 2 Claws - 105 points or so with re-rolls to hit and wound vehicles in CC.
