Yeah, I know, but my meta has a lot of psykers and Daemons, so wanted to see how it worked out with Soul Hunger and the Balethorn Cannon. Both Exocrines with Dermic Symbiosis and Resonance Barb on the Neurothrope is the more allround list, I agree.

Could also split the big Warrior group in two and add a third Ripper Swarm and a Lictor instead of the small Warrior group.

Resonance Barb on the Tyrant is probably better, maximizes total psychic ability. Neuro has good enough base chance to get symbio off that spreading the love doesn't detract too much. Catalyst is usually a more important spell to get off because of how it improves ability to score primaries. Tyrant tossing 2d3 (poss 1d6+1d3) MW's and Catalyzing the Enhanced Warriors is a very strong play.

Could do that too, would probably do more work than the Balethorn Cannon. But it's really good against Daemons, but again, not that great against Marines.

2x Devs are better against daemons. Only time STC or BTC outdo Devs is when shooting at units w/ 11+ T6 W2 models, getting that sweet 6 shots at a +1 to-hit....but MSU's make that a rarity. More often, STC/BTC have the risk of rolling bad on # of shots and doing nothing. Devs can also be fired into combat, and you are already looking to get w/in 18" for smites.
