So, the t-cyte has issues with transporting MCs (i.e. it doesn't work with new transport rules. At all: thetyranidhive.proboards.com/thread/58384/tyrannocyte-problem).

If you're confident that's not an issue, it still seems...weird. The exos can just strat reserve to save 100 pts, the t-fex should be fine to walk up the board with that many MCs rather than restricted dropping on T2, and also doesn't need Synapse. At all.

You definitely want more screens, and objective pressure. Because you have none of either, and no counter-charge to try and free yourself. You've got move blockers in the biovores, but that only works on non-Fly (and to some extent non-DS), and does nothing regarding you getting on objectives. I also think 9 biovores is probably overkill, but not something I've played with. Is basically 25% of your list though.

Rippers shouldn't have spinefists, probably one of the worst upgrades in the game (S2 BS5+? On a unit you don't want doing anything combat related? Save the 27 pts).

Not sure about the dermic on the t-fex: it doesn't care about degrades, so you're only getting the 5++. Which is fine, but you've also got exos, which want both.

Don't think walkrant is super helpful either, but...some psychic, you need an HQ, T7 4++ with meh shooting. Broodlord might be better for counter-charge (or even just give him MRC??).

Anyway, 3 exos and 6 hive guard is a mean gunline: 9 bios gives them good support in some match ups, but not all, and probably not for some of their worst (e.g. harleys, WS, Orks, probably daemons). The rest...doesn't seem to help much.

I don’t think the Tcite is good here. I’m not sure what it’s for.

The rippers don’t need guns.

I personally think 3 exocrine might be over doing it a bit

I think I’d drop one and give the other 2 Dermic

Then with the saved points from the T-cite and the exo I’d pick up some screens (gaunts) and a couple lictors. 2 lictors can win you sooo many points on objectives.

Finally if you can find room for it, some more psychic wouldn’t hurt you. Broodlord or another Neurothrope
