The list so far has treated me well with the new swarmlord and genestealer points decrease, though I just got bodied by Sisters. Any advice on how to clean up the list?

What in the sisters list gave you trouble?

Maybe swapping out a few things for even more front pressure could help with the overwhelming multiple threats nids are good at now.

I suggest maybe taking two seperate squads of genestealers in squads of 15.
In my experience it's hard to get a full squad of 20 getting their full attacks, but splitting them up can cover more ground and still give a nasty threat.

Have you had luck with the mawloc? I really like the model and concept, but I find it's just too many points for what it offers. Maybe swap it out for the said extra genestealers.

I would agree that splitting the GS into two smaller units would probably see more benefit than not. This would favor changing the GS adaptation to Dermic on the Exo, which is honestly the #1 unit for an adaptation in the list w/ the Exo's inability to stand still out of reserves after the FAQ. Kronos Exo is up there in the list of things opponents want dead now, and letting it weather more fire w/o losing output can be pretty nice.

Minor changes that could help you out would be moving the ripper and a lictor to the Patrol, just for wider Deepest Shadow coverage. I don't think you'd need to nix the Mawloc to get the GS numbers decent. Just cutting the Horms gets you to 2x12 GS units, and you can nix a unit of terms to boost one to 16 or split it to 2x8.

I think your right with splitting the genestealers. I just hate doing that so I can get catalyst on the full twenty. In terms of the mawloc, I’ve had some pretty low expectations for him. He’s been helpful in most of my matchups since I started taking the new linebreaker secondary. Popping him up near a chaff unit babysitting a point has been helpful
