Can't have Ext Carapace with wings on your Tyrant. You can have Warp Field for a 2+ save, if that's what you want.

I'd recommend dropping toxin sacs from all of your genestealers to add more of them.

I don't much care for CC fex's, as they tend to be very slow.. But if you want one, with a base strength of 9, do you really need toxin sacs? You can cause ID on toughness 5 opponents, but with your speed, chances are your opponent can easily avoid you with said characters. You should definitely get AG-I on it, though. You'll want to go before P-Fists.

Lictors are great in theory, but they never seem to perform enough to justify their cost for a 2 wound model... Try them out, but don't be afraid to drop them if they don't work out.


Then while an all CC list is nice in theory, it might not work well in practice. Skimmers will be very difficult to drop (with absolutely no shooting, you'll have a tough time catching them). Also, tank heavy lists will be a pain.

As already said, too many pts in stealers. they great at basic stats. the only thing i give them is extended carapace. even though it's not striclty cc, what you need is at least one decent sized unit of spinegaunts. if you dopn't spines, as they shoot, them hormies. these will tie units up quickly and give some casualty relief for you stealers. what you could do is drop the broodlord and retinue, get two units of 3 warriors (cc orienated of course. ST, RC, leaping, EC, AG (I)) and some cannon fodder, then the list should do much better. It will provide more synapse (not that you need alot) and free some pts up for gaunts. maybe also drop two of the licotrs and just use it for stationary tank hunting.
