Some help picking the hive fleet.

[bestaltan]

Got a tournament on Saturday, so I could use some help picking the right hive fleet for these brutes. So before anyone asks, I don’t own raveners, and I don’t own pyrovores. Plus four carnifexes and old school Nidzilla just satisfies the rule of cool.

So Behemoth for lurk? Kraken for its shenanigans? A custom fleet with monster obsec as the primary adaptation? Would appreciate some feedback.

I’ve considered a jormungander shooty big bug list similar. I’m not sure you have enough to benefit from the defense buff vs the reroll to hit from leviathan. You could have the screamer killers in one unit and deep strike them with shard lure for 3d6 charge. Otherwise I’d just go Levi. The single reroll really helps all this single shooty monsters

I’d say behemoth, puts the screamers and warriors on S8 and Tyrants on S12. Obsec Monsters makes the list very good at denying opponent primary between the Tyrants and Screamers.
