Hive Tyrant: Hive Commander, Heavy Venom Cannon, Bonesword/ Lashwhip, wings
meh, I don't like the Heavy Venom Cannon, but considering the deployments of the first two missions, you might need the range. Also, you will need something to provide cover is this dide is one big target.

Great choice, but you DEFINITELY need guards for this puppy. Again, in the first two missions outflanking will be beyond key.

Doom of mal'antai; Mycetic spore 130
I.... I like this. I didn't think I would, but it actually makes a whole hell of a lot of sense.

Genestealers; adrenal glands x 10 170
Genestealers need Scything Talons and Toxin Sacs. Adrenal Gland are not needed. Genestealers are already I6, and trust me, the re-rolling 1's + rerolling wounds is incredible when combined with rending. I would suggest another squad of these. Bump them up to squads of 12 if you can.

Not digging this. This is just two extra kill points and 400 easy VP's for your enemy.
which gives me 280 more points...i cant decide between a squad of 4 warrior shrikes with pairs of swords and adrenal glands or another trygon and throwing more biomorphs around.
the idea is to keep everything in reserve and strike hard second turn. Its worked pretty well so far. A squad of zoes next to 2 of there high point tanks backed by a squad of gaunts to clean out the innerds. trygons usually burrow up but i might have them run around the winged tyrant especially sense they arent primes.
