My thoughts on some things.
Was thinking about ditching the warriors for termagants and using the points for another upgrade for a monster. But currently i want the exploding 6s in melee.
Was also thinking about changing who to give 4++ to, maybe Haruspex or Tyrannofex.
was thinking of changing hive tyrant wl trait to Heightened Senses, but then the tyrant seems to fragile and quik to lose if i make a little mistake, don't want to lose my imperativ 1. or 2. turn.
Last thought went into the Exocrine itself, he is supossed to deal damage on backline units who exposed themself or midfield elite units who hold objectives, but 1. can be done by the tyrant and second by the tyrannofexs, was thinkin about changing him to a 3. flamer tyrannofex and again using the 10 points for a monster upgrade.

Secondaries would be :

Grind them down / Synaptic Insight

Cranial Feasting / Bring them Down

Behind Enemy lines / Engage on all Fronts

Psychic Interogation

Tervigon is not great without the 30x block and Relic/WLT. I recommend dropping it for a Neuro and Venomthropes. Neuro will help make psychic secondaries more consistent, and Venoms will help protect your Tyrant/Dimas.

Alternatively, you could drop predator instincts to change the Venomthropes to Tyrant Guard. This would allow you to run the Tyrant with Heightened Senses, and would give you a difficult to deal with shooting platform.

For secondaries, you don’t have the units to score Synaptic Insight or Behind Enemy Lines well. Engage will always be more consistent with nidzilla, and Grind/Prisoners will score higher for you since you lack Synapse. I only consider Synaptic Insight in lists that have 7+ Synapse units and my common core for scoring it is usually 2x Tyrant, 2xZoan, 2x Warrior, and an Exo with Synapse.
