swarmlord centered 2000 points list looking for advice

[harryf]

i think that the swarmlord has potential to be powerful and competitive because of its mastery level 2 psyker with 4 powers as well as being able to wreck just about anything in close combat. without further ado, here it is

HQ
swarmlord with 2 lash tyrant guards
flyrant with double TL devourer

elite
2 HG
2 HG

troop
20 uber gaunts(toxin + adrenal)
10 termagan
10 termagant
tervigon with catalyst, scything talons, and toxin sacs
tervigon with catalyst, scything talons, and toxin sacs

heavy
toxin trygon
toxin trygon

there are a few modifications to this that i can do
cut the hormagaunts and the doom for another dakkafex and to put the extra power on the tervigon, give them crushing claws, and adrenal glands
or
cut the doom and toxin on the hormagaunts for another dakkafex

looking for advices
thanks

i know the dakkafex isnt too strong of a heavy choice, but i need something to be able to down light flyers like dakkajets and scythes. i could get a flyrant, but the points probably wont allow it

[Frosty the Pirate]

Could also drop the dakkafex and the doom to fit in the flyrant, and then use the extra points to bump up the hormaguant numbers.

Even double dakkafex doesn't really scare an AV12 flyer, but a flyrant who can VS then shoot rear armour with 12 skyfire shots will

EDIT: Rest of the list looks pretty solid.

Reworked the list. Dropped doom and the dakkafex to get a total of 25 gaunt's with adrenal and toxin.
I can also run some gargoyles for meat shielding. But hormagaunts can actuallyt threaten most things

[Jack Shrapnel]

you're actually fairly close to my swarmlord list, other than instead of hormagaunts I run stealers to take advantage of the swarmlords' hive commander and reroll outflank edges... a single dakkafex will not do much compared to something like a flyrant (even though they have the same BS and weapon loadout) just because the flyrant is a psyker and flies around for much better angles of opportunity... I run dakkafex in pairs or not at all (as four wounds isn't nearly as survivable as you'd think)

the hormagants are a decent choice and can threaten most things as you say... seems like a pretty solid list... lots of scoring, decent anti-tank... flyers will cause you troubles, but they're not too frequent around here...

[harryf]

changes are up:
flyrant allows me to more effectively threaten flyers, and if i get iron arm, well, strength 8/9 vector strikes on a flyer will be nasty, if not, hey, i still got my skyfire devourers
i dropepd the doom because i found it to be way to volatile, sometimes it takes out 3 necron heavy destroyers, sometimes nothing, so i dropped it

[danydaigle24]

VS is always unmodified S so you wont have S8/9 but its still pretty good anyways

[harryf]

if only carnefexes can fly...
(just kidding)
"when carnefexes fly" should be used in lieu of "when pigs fly"

[Frosty the Pirate]

I would more be looking for enfeeble, and Dany is right about VS, it's always base strength, so Iron Arm doesn't help.
