    Looks good, similar to what I'd run.

    Just a couple questions though:
    1) Why Shadow twice? You could pick up Scream or just save points instead, yes?
    2) Why 2 broods of WON gaunts? I've found 1 is all you need, so you can pick up 'stealers instead.
    3) With cover the way it is, who needs carapace on stealers? I usually have them advance behind the MCs for cover and to counter-attack anybody foolish enough to think them an easy kill in combat.
    4) Single Zoanthrope is doing what? You've got 2 tough sources of Synapse already.

    You may have some problems with heavy armor as venom cannons only do so much, but I think it should work well. Do update on its performance please.

    1. Typo, One of the Tyrants has Scream.
    2. I have 2 so that I can spread a gaunt scream for my army. I will be doing a tactica on gaunt screen in a few weeks.
    3. Just to be safe and if I wanna have them run into something that my carnifexes don't want to go after. Also to take care of some of those annoying AP5 barage weapons that will be targeting them and flamers. Just a few reasons off the top of my head.
    4. He provides Synapse to the backfield for WoN gaunts when they come back. This lets the two tyrants go to work and not have to be the single dad at home worrying about the kids. The zoanthrope is like the stay at home mom.

    I will fix the list thanks for pointing that out to me :)

    A thing to note this list tabled a "descent" necron list in 3 turns the last time I played.
