Previous iterations had the Raveners replaced with a Dermic Toxicrene coming in with the tactical dropnut, but too many 9" charges have been failed. The main sauce compared to most lists is having a kitted-out Tyrant Guard squad, I've been enjoying their tankiness but also decent damage output with getting the bump to S8 on the charge. Otherwise, the Mawloc+Biovore combo can really help me dictate the pace of the game if I go first, and is still solid even if I don't.
