Well so what is your plan or tactics walk stealers across the board you know that is a sure way to lose them right?

Hive Fleet: Behemoth does you no good in this list its only for the stealers and i dont see them ever getting in to combat
take something like lev or yorm to benefit your entire army

troops
take 3 units of 3 rippers NO UPGRADES they need to be cheap they claim objectives thats what they are good for

taking 1 big blob of termagants with devs is a lot of points and they die real quick 2
usually if you take 20+ make the + cheap that way you could have 2 units
i usually take 10-15 devs and 10 flesh in a unit. if they kill a model i take off a cheap flesh first .
that way i can have 2 units in stead of 1 big one


carnifex spores -1 to hit and ES +1 to BS take them don't take tusks are for Close combat fexes , take a bone mace its cheaper

Hive Tyrant vs broodlord . in small games i will take 2 Hive Tyrants they can be cheaper then a brood lord have more spells and options.

I agree with every word Red is sayin

[devilrules]

i would change to kraken, replace broodlord with neurothrope. add wings to tyrant and give -1 to hit.
if you are going to take gaunts would take a 30 blob, either 20 -10 or 15-15. agree with what they said about fex and rippers but think 2 squads is enough. maybee get more gs with the left over.

[devilrules]

estimates as i dont have the stuff in front of me.
flyrant rmc & devourers 213
neurothrope 70
2 x 3 rippers 66
fex 128
2 x 16 gs 384
gaunts 10fb 12dev 136

997 roughly
