Illegal GS cult list

[omnivore]

Ok ok so it's illegal. But I thought I would make a list depicting the early stages of a Tyranid insurrection with traitor guardsmen and Tyranid vanguard lifeforms. Here's the list:

*Guard Half*

Primaris Psyker, Magus

Infantry Platoon, Platoon Command and both inf. squads have Autocannons, one HW squad has 3 heavy bolters.

Vet squad in a Chimera; 3 Plasma guns and 1 Missile Launcher
Chimera has HB turret and hull and a heavy stubber

Psyker Battle Squad, 9 member (psychic cultists/half breeds)

Leman Russ Battle Tank

Basilisk

*Nid 1/2*

10 GS, Toxin sacs with Broodlord (scy tals, acid blood, Implant.

10 GS, Toxin Sacs

10 Ymgarl Genestealers

Deathleaper

1748 points, 4 Troops, 1 HQ, 3 Elites, 2 HS

I was going for the guard to be armed with sort of low tech weapons, hence the auto-cannons and heavy bolters. I figured the tanks would also be sort of hand-me-downs so I was not going to use my Manticore or my Demolisher. I am not sure what the psyker battle squad would represent; some kind of group mind psyker-hybrids?

The Nid half is fairly straightforward, including the Broodlord who started all this and some sleeping Ymgarls. Deathleaper will also be up to his old tricks.

Its not really meant to be competitive, just kinda fun. What do you guys think?

I'd question having two Heavy Support choices: asking your opponent to let us 'Nids take allies is not too much to ask, but to break the allies FOC is a bit much!
Why not re-juggle the lists to be a proper Tyranids FOC, with a proper IG Allies FOC, or vice-versa.

I think that a Tyranid Prime would be a close enough match for a Genestealer to work as a good Counts-As-Genestealer-Patriarch, then plenty of Ymgarls and Genies as per your list.

I like your themeing of the humans as dumb gunners!

I see what you mean....maybe switch out a hellhound for the Bassie?

[ragnarok]

I would go with conscripts over platoon and vets.

Cultists are a rabble

Not terribly familiar with the IG codex, but you could run a close combat vet-type squad as hybrid-cultists. If it were me, I would make the list as fluffy as possible, even if it sacrificed competitiveness, but then, that's more my direction of play.
