Leviathan 2k list for tournament help needed

[ner0]

Hi all, I recently attended a local tournament with a jormungundr balanced shooty/fighty/psychic list and got absolutely destroyed in back to back iron hands matchups. I’ve gone back to the drawing board and looked up some lists that have had recent success and came up with the following list. Basic game plan is try to hide everything during deployment to try and coax out the enemy army if going second, turn one advance up the board with the termagants, venomthropes and tervigon to attempt to take the centre for warp ritual then use catalyst and hive nexus to layer defensive buffs on them to hopefully keep them alive till turn 2. While they move up my 2 tyrants will step out Using look out sir to keep covered while hopefully taking some shots at stuff. Turn 2 I hit the zoanthrope imperative and just run everything out to hopefully just mass fire a lot of the opponents stuff off the board and take control of some objectives and then hope that swing is enough to take control of the game. Secondaries wise I think warp ritual is gunnna be good in most cases, then maybe banners and finally something Killy based on the opponent such as bring it down. Any advice is helpful, feel free to be as harsh as possible with The list as it’s all open to be changed.

I’d drop the Physiologies on the Cfex and put Dermic or Voracious on the Tfex. I’d also drop the Biology on the Tervigon in favor of Maw Claws, Terv needs some bite once it hits combat.

If you put Dermic on the Tfex, the 30 leftover pts could be good as TS on Cfex, Tyrants, and Trev. If you go voracious on Tfex, you have the pts by dropping AG on the Terv to bring a 4th TG.

Tervigon needs the Glands to wound on 2+ vs meq, although maw Claws makes that pretty reliable at 3+ but you also get the obscene amount of swings when you use the d3 attacks Stratagem and sweep profile

AG are nice on a Tervigon, but not necessary to have good output (that’s what Maw Claws are for). I’d rather have another TG body to protect the Tyrants than AG on the Terv and TS splattered around. Reason being that I’ve had 3 TG killed with enough opposing shooting left to endanger a tyrant, I’ve not had the same occur with 4 TG.
