personally, i like devourers because of the living ammo rule. dice hate me so having those re-rolls is all important!
i like to leave the tank busting to things like the big bugs because they can do it more efficiently and with less waste in both pts and models who won't shoot...
as for the other options;
- fleshborer. why??! one more point of strength, but far fewer shots and shorter range than compared to the all mighty devourer... so what if it has an ap value - anything with a 5+ saves dies in droves to devourers too!
- deathspitters i just can't seem to like. with so many players getting wise and spreading out their units, they simply aren't as effective and they also don't have the living ammo rule!
- barbed strangler. not a bad idea for a shooty unit designed to take out lots of infantry... who can say no to a pie-plate?! the only problem on warriors is the lower strength of the shot, which means that again, i like to leave it for the big bugs. (where i can also twin-link it for better accuracy too!)
- rending claws are almost mandetory in my opinion simply because they keep the unit dangerous to both meqs and tanks...
- scything talons are a no-brainer obviously for any unit being designed as an assault unit.
- lash whips are pointless as having more attacks at a higher I is so much better than recieving any attacks back to begin with!
- spine fists... again why bother when you can take far tastier things?!
as for the various morphs, those depend solely on the task you have for the unit...
i personally really like the thought of flying warriors with rending claws and talons! adding on both adrenal glands and toxin sacs just makes the unit plain mean. screen them with the much faster gargoyles and hormagaunts to force lots of target priority tests, and/or use cover to block lines of sight to the unit.
for shooty warriors i would always take rending claws to give them some assault back up along with the 'I' adrenal glands and enhanced senses plus extended carapace...
hope this helps,
cheers!
