strealers at 16pts do indeed now suck (no flank charge and random charge/new fleet means extra turn of shots (plus overwatch) just nerfs them if they brought back the 4+ save they be fine
i find hormagunts with the better run rule to still be viable and its very easy to get alot (60 with toxin sacs is 480pts)
never ever go carnifex but hive tyrents/terivgons/harpys/trygons are all gd choices (never used tranyofex) doom is still op as before
all in all play smart and they can still be competivie and rewarding i would run them but i loved genestrealers too much (5th edition list had 40 plus 60 hormagunts)
I love the idea of the Ymgarl stealers but I played them the other night n I lost the whole unit to overwatch which really sucked. Especially with all the psychic powers knocking about its just not gonna happen. The 'big bugs' seem to be the most competitive units so I'm definatly gonna look into the Trygon prime that matt mentioned! An extra synapse creature could come in handy n he seems pretty tough too!
