Leviathan swarm list 1000 pts brainstorming

[forthehive]

Hello

I want to try my hand at a Swarm list. I feel that B.L mastery of shadows, catalyst pyschic cast and devilgaunt/lictor bomb with biowepon bond buff synaptic link chained out from warriors would be deadly. Another lictor, and some ripper Swarms to help score me points. Main purpose is to engage all turns and ROD, hopefully outnumber enemy on primaries. 30 hormagaunts, possibly a tervigon to spawn more gaunts on the backfield home objective.

I have a list here on battlescribe but I'd like to hear suggestions on 1000pts leviathan swarm list from others. I'm really uncertain on choosing Warlord traits and relics. Do I take swarm leader? Extra CP relic or resonance barb?

Of course, the more models, the better.

I'm toying with horde for a 1k tournament this upcoming weekend. Going to get a couple practice games in this week. At 1k it is easier for skew lists to be effective. As far as the above list, I don't really see this as a swarm approach. You don't really have enough bodies to overcome the amount of bullets the enemy is likely to have. I'd suggest losing the Tervigon to start. It is 20% of the list, the only target for the handful of big guns the enemy is about to bring, and really doesn't add enough

Terv literally does nothing: you can't spawn any gaunts in that list. But even if you could, as above. There's nowhere near enough to not just get run over, and you don't really have much damage.

I got basically tabled with 30 gaunts, flyrant, Swarmlord, exo and an extra something or 2 most games at a 1k tournament: what you have isn't hard to kill.
