Well, it can certainly spread out the S8+ and AP3 if you apply pressure in all the right areas. I'm curious to see how that many warriors holds up in this edition.

I would deff recommend some tyrant guard on the Hive Tyrant without wings you could acheive this by dropping the toxin sacs on the trygons in conjunction with switching out some of the warrior weapon upgrades. Or dropping one of the hive guard and consolidating into 1 brood of 3. Up to you sir, but the mighty Tyrant can't hive behind a 3+ save forevaaa

^ I like it alot more, especially the tervigon inclusion. I still would prefer a guard for the walking tyrant if it was my list, but some folks like armored shell for the 2+ more than a guard. It's preference. Another thing i noticed was the zoanthropes have no pod to drop in with. If your opponent was smart he could focus them down if they have to walk up the board. The sporepod allows them to drop behind vehicles to guarantee rear armor pen hits.

All in all though nice list, just gotta give dem zoeys a pod, maybe drop a warrior and then consolidate them into a group of 5? However you'd like to work it sir. Goodluck

You WILL want 1x Tyrant Guard on the Walking Tyrant. Besides that, it should be fun, especially with the Double Trygons and Flyrant.
