At 1k points, two flyrants is a huge investment. However, If these are all the models you have then theres not much going around that until more are purchased.

You might consider taking the AG and TS off the flyrants as you want to keep the flyrant out of melee combat so the tl/devos do their damage. Utilize it's large movement distance with its wings to avoid assaults. Use the points saved to get the third tervigon power if you can.

Apart from the flyrants, the rest seems pretty standard to me. Can't wait to see a batrep from you.

Careful with posting points for units. Don't get to specific with points as that is not allowed on the forums. If you are planning on using the standard psychic powers on your flyrant then I would drop a set of TL Dev because that will take up one of your shots for the turn. If you plan on switching out the psychic powers then keep the 2x TL Dev. Your flyrant is meant to shoot things and not get into CC unless you need the help, so I would remove the AG and TS. Take the AG and TS off your gaunts and put them on the Tervigon. That way all gaunts around the Terv gain the benefit, not just the Devgaunts.

Tanagra- 2x was refering to the devourers. ATM i only have the battleforce but i will be buying the rest next payday.
Pumpkinhead- I wasnt aware of the points rule. Seems odd but I'll keep it in mind in future. I'm planning on swapping for biomancy. Thanks for the tip on the AG and TS for the Tervigon though.
