14X Genestealers

4x Raveners w Rending

I have been successfully using genestealers as infiltrators and as a board control mechanism essentially granting me and my Hive Guard the center of the board for 3 - 4 turns. With the GS screen my Raveners can generally reach assaults turn 2 unmolested. I have never used a Swarmlord before but I'm hoping to have him in the enemy deployment and in close combat turn 3.

how are GS granting you center line board control for 3-4 turns? they die to a stiff breeze if they're not in combat and you only have one unit of 15. that's not a lot of forward pressure. multiple infiltrating units make your opponent make tough choices or face the meatgrinder early, but with only one, it's just flamer bait. are your regular opponents just gunshy after getting tac marines in assault with them or something?

other than that, pretty solid. flyrant and swarmlord support for tervigons + termagant horde is good.

I use the infiltrators to bottle up my enemies most mobile units. I usually infiltrate into cover and cast buffs from Tervigons to keep them tough enough to survive the first turn. I run the Raveners and flyrant behind them. Ignore the GS and get a face full of rending. Focus on them and get a face full of Raveners. Either way you get a face full of Flyrant for at least 2 turns. Fully focused on those 3 units my Tervs and HG are allowed to move and run to the center owning it with 24' impalers turn 2.

I have considered dropping the GSs, adding a DOM in a Pod, and using spawned running gants to screen the raveners, but I'm sure the raveners will out run them turn 1. Alternatively I can drop 3 GSs and upgrade 1 to a BL and use him for first turn debuffs. I'm just afraid that unit would be too small.
