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,
Servo

I could be mistaken but can't warriors only take one barbed strangler, and if they aren't they not able to take a venom cannon? I could easily be wrong cause I'm still learning the rules. I wanna have my army painted before I start playing.

One barbed Strangler

One Venom Cannon

Hmm... I guess the list sounds decent. I'm not a fan of Nidzilla armies I like my hordes of gaunts (well... in theory... never played a horde army and won't be doing so for a good while) too much.

However, I do see the merit of this army, and it does have a huge FEAR factor. Then again... 192 gaunts is scary too.

i would try scything talons on the broodlord retinue and drop something else, probably the scuttlers. you know the whole unit only moves as fast as the slowest model, right? so you can't even take the scout move unless the broodlord has scuttlers too, and i'm not sure he can even have them.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Its not swarmish! more troops pile in with more troops! no winged warriors just go for with troops and then place your bug bugs in the middle of the swarm so once they have hit the enemies lines and warn them down the big bugs can finsih them of whilen the swarm runs around chewing and munching on heads and various limbs!
