I was personally thinking of two with wings, mrc, and devs and one with hvc and deathspitters

In my head, they face difficulty vs Iron Hands and RG only, RG because of output and IH because of stalkers/Executioner's.

it's a pretty decent, mobile platform that can perform in all phases of the game, isn't terribly over costed, and has a decent invul save and number of wounds. however it will be difficult to get it a cover save on most tables, so it remains a liability in a shooting meta. the model is also baller as hell and i love them, personally.

play accordingly.

Yeah, it's basically impossible to hide and while the defensive statline is solid, it's not good enough to not die unless the opponent's firepower has been cut. Which means 3 and/or DS stuff to get value from them, and manage enough damage and disruption to survive subsequent follow up. Because if you can just chain effective combats and disrupt your opponent's army, they're really good. If you can't, then they can be quite lackluster.

Still trying to decide if it becomes another flyrant or a regular tyrant...
