My first 500 points

[WhisperingLictor]

LGS does small 500 point games where you'll get randomly paired with another player. Not always fluffy but always lots of fun. By the time I finish building and painting what's left, the new codex should be out and assuming it's just as the leaks have foretold, this is what I wanted to run. I'm not usually a competitive player, but I do appreciate a level of effectiveness. Posting my list looking for any advice the hive can offer. If swapping out a unit is what's recommended, that's fine.

GORGON
Adaptive: Wreathed in Shadows
100 - Neurothrope
Rel: Resonanse Barb
WL: Direct Guidance
Psy:Catalyst, Onslaught, Poisonous Influence

75(90) - 3 Warriors, +15 FleshHooks

160(180) - 20 Hormaguants, +20 ToxicSacs

115(130) - Screamerfex, +10 SynapticEn, +5 ToxicSa

500

For the Gaunts:
Hit rolls of 6 autowound
Wound rolls on a 4+
Psy: WC 7+, wound rolls of 6, additional MW
PsyImp (War): Hit rolls of 6, additional hits
Enemies can't overwatch/set to defend when charged

With 3A on all the Hormies, my plan is to just throw them with a Synapse Screamerfex to kill and contest objectives while the Warriors n Neurothrope camp whatevers close.

CP will likley be spent on Bounding Advance, and regeneration for the Gaunts n Screamerfex. Neurothrope with Relic and Power of the Hivemind can cast 4 powers at +1

FH are only 5pts per the unit on Warriors. I'd use the 10pts to drop TS on the Screamer for Spore Cysts. With so little CP at 500pts, I'd recommend splitting the Horms. Adrenal surge and Bounding advance won't destroy your CP reserves, meaning you get more options for regen. They won't be a ball of death, but you'll be better able to apply pressure in multiple locations and there will be a bit of protection from someone just blowing all 20 off the board.

Unless by FleshHooks you meant Adrenal Glands, then ignore the first bit.

I was squeezing the last few points when adding FH. I thought they felt kind of expensive, glad I was wrong. And did want a ball of blades but 2 squads would be more tactical. Munch appreciated!
