Hey there. Welcome to the forums. First I'd like to note I tooled this up for tournament level play, if it's not for that, tell me.

We won't accomplish anything with wings. Walking Tyrants need to be Shooty Tyrants. Winged Tyrants are Reserved for CC, or DevilTyrants.

Kinda hard to tell what's on the Broodlord, but drop the Feeder Tendrils on the Brood. It saves them points, and you'll be hitting almost everything on 3's anyway. I'd go with Acid Maw on the Broodlord, and at least Extended Carapace.

Some people love Lictors. Some hate them. They have their uses though. It more or less depends on your style of play. In a tournament setting though, I wouldn't take more than two.

Well, these are cheap, but at least try to give them Extended Carapace, and Adrenal Glands(I), if possible.

A Devilfex is preferred in the Elite slot(Enhanced Senses, 2 Twin-linked Devourers, Flesh Hooks @ 114 points)

These broods are tiny. I'd get more gaunts.

I've never liked Gargoyles. They never do anything for me except die.

Ugh. With the FAQ coming out, these are out, and Raveners are in. Also, never put 2 Scything Talons on these, Scything Talons and Rending Claws work much, much better.

Same as above.

He's good, just drop the Toxin Sacs.

As beastly as this guy looks, he doesn't get into combat often. I'd trade him for another SniperFex.

Hope this helps, and tell me if this isn't a tournament list!
