Why does a malanthrope need a 5++? What's your hive fleets? Why are your fexes all half baked? Better do 2 for one purpose and 3 for the other.

[valdrog]

Im using the BoB make your own Hive Fleet
Hive Fleet
Other: Metamorphic Regrowth, Morphic Sinews = recover 1 wound every turn, and advance and shoot with no penalties.

Malenthrope has the 5++ because it doesnt come with an Inv save and flyers and snipers are a thing, i like to give him a little bit of survival.

All fexes are equipped the same way, 2x devourers, scything talons, since they can advance and shoot assault weapons with no penalties cause of the Hive adaptation

4x devourer and maws will do better than 2 and scytals. I wouldnt put enhanced senses on a carnifex with only 2 shooty arms. Id out enhanced on hvc fexs instead.

I'd switch one of the bl in the first detachment for the malanthrope. Put a neurothrope in the carnifex DT and make him your​ warlord carnifex don't need a mala give them spore-cysts​ instead otherwise they would all have to turtle around the mala and thus be easier to avoid as an opponent.
Then give either both exocrine or 1exo and the tyrannofex the 5++ and make that detachment Kronos for rr1s plus the power on the exos.
Also I'd switch the carnifex loadout either 4*dev + maw or mix in some HVC.
