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

You want them mostly for the Spore producing ability and to drop on an objective somewhere to the side that you dont want to waste units on, the enemy HAS to deal with it, keep it cheap with Deathspitters, Jormun all the time for that sweet 3+ save, hitting stuff with shooting is a bonus.

Why not try keeping one of the broodlords for synapse, to buff the stealers, do more AT damage and to use catalyst? It seems like a broodlord would be useful, but 2 is probably excessive (unless you want to have the horror as well). If the warriors are just for babysitting, try giving them double scytals, or scytals and bs/lw. I dropped the Stealers as well

Tried the list this weekend in a tournament, got first place 3-0 , playing ITC rules. made a couple of changes at the end, drooped the Broodlords for two Primes, 2x9 rippers and lowered gargoyles to a squad of 30 and 5 Mucoloid spores. I gave 2 squads of gaunts 6 Devourers each, but really ddint do much, i dont have that many devourers. I had about 220 models on the board. The army is not really designed to kill much, is a Board denial and Objective control army and it did great at it, didnt kill that many models , but it won the missions which is what matters. Hormogaunts can kill anything T5 3+ save fine with the numbers of attacks and attrition

Trying to overwhelm opponents thru sheer number of models and attacks, shaving away at wounds, with the Biovores softening units up with Mortal wounds.

Havent tried a Nid swarm list yet, was wondering if i went a bit too Swarm on it, but 230 models.. Warriors are there to babysit the Biovores.
