Can't make up my mind, 5 out of 9 monsers are synapse, but kronos has better strats, better psi powers and most of my army is shooting..

I think you answered your own question there...6+++ is decent. It's not better than Kronos for a predominantly shooting army with exo and hive guard: kill the enemy before the can do much>>6+++.

Where are the troops? Plan to just outshoot the enemy? I'm still figuring out 9th

[blackjack]

troops are for LOSERS! (seriously knights do it without troops any model can hold an objective... so I will try...)

As powerful as kronos is, I'm beginning to think it's a trap. From what I've seen, 9th edition encourages more movement. Kronos encourages you remain stationary.

With so much synapse, I think it would be a good idea to with leviathan for a few games and see how it feels. The extra layer of saves might prove clutch.
