I wanted a coven army and I just LOVE the idea of Beastmasters. Kind of like fox hunting with hounds. Anyway, I wanted a list I could sculpt/convert the hell out of. Any ideas how I could make it more theme-tastic?

I've no suggestions to help improve your theme, but I'm a little worried about your anti-tank capabilities in this list. That said, I think the place to trim is the cronos parasite engines. It's kind of... strange that in a haemonculi themed list you really don't need the cronos' ability to distribute pain tokens as almost everyone starts with them already and your beastmasters make poor use of them. Maybe think about sporting more Talos instead and look into haywire blasters to cripple enemy vehicles long enough for your Grotesques to catch up with them and punch them to pieces.

You could also think about bring a ravager or two with the crew models replaced by wracks. That would bring you some solid anti-tank without betraying the theme too too much.
