Well here is what i am thinking of playing so far since it looks pretty deadly on paper.

Hq
====
Hive Tyrant (winged) 176pts

Add Gland
Scytheing Talons x2
Wings (dur)
Warp Field
Toxin Sacs
Acid Maw
The Horror


Tyrant VcBone sword 187


Enhanced Senses
Extended Carpace
TOxin Sacs
Venom Cannon
BoneswordLashwhip
The Shadow of Warp

Tyrant Gaurd x3 135

Don't get me wrong I love MC's, but 2 tyrants in such a small army? This makes me a bit leary. Any SM or I. Guard Army that brings any amount of heavy weapons will chew through these guys like a hot knife through butter. I would drop one to free up more points to be spent latter on.

Elites
-------
Lictor x3 240

I love Lictors, enough said!

Fast Attack
-----------
Ravaner x4 160

scything talonsrending claws

Make sure you protect these guys with as much cover as you can. Toughness 4 will get you places, but backed up by only a 5+ save makes them fragile.

Winged warrior x3 160pts
--------------

Winged
Toxin Sacs
Venom Cannon x1
Barbstrangler x2
Scything Talons
Extened Carpace

Why shooting with Wings. I would either take away the Wings or take away the guns and give them Rending claws. For the Record I think Leaping is better for the points, and it is a nasty surprise for your opponent. your little warriors go plod, plod, plod, then pounce a nice 12". I love the look on my opponents face when I spring that on them.

Heavy Support
=============

Carnifex (Devilfex) 113pts

Twin Linked Devourers x2
Enhanced Senses

Cheap and Shooty, nothing wrong with this guy. I have never tried a shooting fex, but if it works for you then go for it. My fex is usually just with Scything Talens x2. Maybe increased Toughness if I Have the points.

Troops
======
Genestealer(19pts) x12 228pts
Scuttle

Hormagaunt x10 100pts.

I would take the points from loosing one of the Hive Tyrants that I suggested you remove and invest in some more gaunts. If you havn't tried out Gaunts with Devourers, I recomend it. They are nasty little buggers. They shoot twice a piece, at 18" and get to re-roll missed wounds. That is enough firepower to force enough armour saves that they more than make up for themselves in points.

Like I said if the list works for you then great. In my circle of opponents, it wouldn't fare to well. To few targets and not enough bulk in the army. Any thing that brings multi-shot heavy weapons will tear through your list.

Hope this helps,
