Mawloc, Lictor, Trygon, Warriors & Tyrannofex went into reserves.

His bikes flew too close to the sun and didnt need to use Subterranean Assault to pop the warriors within 9" of the Trygon as planned. The warriors came out within 6" of my table edge, got catalyst & Symbiostorm, shot at 1 unit of bikes, then charged 1 bike and 3 bikes, used impaling hooks and adrenal surge on them to hit on 2s and have 5 attacks, wiped them all but 1 left with 1 wound. 1 of his HQ did a teleport shunt heroic intervention into them and i used reinforced hive node. Next turn reinforced hive node again, then killed his character and last bike. The tfex coming in from reserves killed the shield captain. Mawloc and lictor got me BEL every turn.

Good list, might try custom fleet with territorial instincts and heightened reflexes next.

Love the extra 4" range on deathspitters and acid spray! Could change the extra AP 1 at half range, though with kronos not sure what to take instead.

With 7 Monsters, TI would probably be a decent swap for the adaptive.

At 1st glance yeah, however most of the monsters aside from trygon & Mawloc rarely leave my dep zone so they wont really be contesting objectives until later. So not sure it fits this playstyle best.

Was thinking about Exoskeletal Reinforcement to ignore Ap-1 to make them more survivable vs small arms fire since most are 2+ save. The trygon & mawloc also benefit from this greatly keeping them on 3+.

Could also go the custom fleet route. Heightened Reflexes + Territorial Instinct however that extra 4" range on deathspitters and acid spray is sweet.

I have a similar list, but swapping out all the deep strike stuff with Carnifexes holding venom cannons...
I love the extra 4" range and using the extra AP 1 at half range!
