This is my first draft list of the new Leviathan rules I didn't add the broodlord/ Gene stealers because I'm not sold on them I think they are too point heavy and have no real board control after turn 1

[No One]

Feels a bit lacking in damage and not really...coherent. 'Cepter goes on HG, then...what? Your only other damage sources already get +1 or hit on 2s. Swarmlord for...? Flyrant doing what?

Like, it feels like it's just trying to go on board control, but no mal and I don't think that really works without solid damage support (I had a recent game where I killed ~50 gaunts T1 with a single devilgant unit. That was without double tap).

Bizarrely, if you swapped all your gaunts, rippers and a couple points off the warriors (swap some weapon NSA for scytals but put in another venom cannon) you'd fit two 16 man Stealer units and the list would be quite good!

With one unit of hive guard the warriors can do the screening for the HG Mal and Exo. SwarmL and the Prime work with the Stealers. And the flyrant actually makes a great play for reserved Stealers via Hunters Drive.
I pulled this off in a game at the weekend using warrior venom cannons to kill parts of a unit who I needed the extra charge benefit for a reserved unit of Stealers from the 1" on my board edge. It worked a dream.

I'm writing a reserved Stealer list built around a miasma cannon flyrant for exactly this reason!

Hunters Drive proc abuse with Warriors, an actually legitimately good use for it! I like.
