It can only go on hive guard (well, and warriors, but...no).

I think you could do with a mal and some dermic on the 'dules: dropping a dima (double dima without Kraken feels like a mistake) gives you points for a broodlord or mal over the neuro, and also lets you take some more troops/lictors to give you some objective focus.

Leviathan + Monster Mash seems like a bad idea, full stop.

Eh, I dunno, I could see it. You don't get much stuff, but you've got exploding 6s, auto explode, obsec, and the 6+++. Uh, is that it? Edit: Actually, redeploy is probably pretty solid depending on terrain. And I guess you've got the full rrs for the hive guard still. But outside of Kraken basically just for the dimas (which fair, is a definite upgrade and could be worth running basically for them alone), I think it's better than anything else.

I lîke the concept. I'm a big fan of the Dima.

Personally I'd drop a Barbie. They have such large bases that they struggle to manoeuvre around decent terrain boards.
I'm currently enjoying devil gaunts along side the big bugs for clearing out the small stuff that Barbie and the Dules don't want to be prioritising.
A mistake I have in my current list is having onslaught on the SL. I'd swap your catalyst and onslaught around. This way you can fire two Dima's from each corner, one from SL with catalyst expecting to make a charge and the other onlsaughted to a threatening position.
I'd either drop a unit of warriors or make one unit larger with lashwhips. Have them follow the Barbie and push up the centre or best firing lane she fits in.

Your going to need to screen the Hive Guard. With such an expensive resource as the malaceptor added to buff them enemy fast combat troops are going to be knocking on the door of the house they are in and a maleceptor is a (please do not swear) guard dog!
