So I've rethought my list/combined several ideas together and now have something I'm happy with. Not flyrant spam (figure that's too one dimensional and won't be much fun to play) but it has a couple of flyrants in it to support my endless swarm. This is the list I used against Sam last Tuesday, and it did nicely. Mostly about scoring maelstrom points but the flyrants add enough firepower that I can actually kill things!
I'm mostly putting this here so if I forget my kindle I can access my list and also so Chris can see what he will be facing Tuesday mwhahaha
The tyrant on foot will be the warlord so the flyrants can take some risks. Rippers in reserve for late game DS objective stealing and everything else on the board for board control through numbers. Not sure about regeneration on the ground tyrant it gives him "it will not die" but on a 4+ which is nice and gives me the option for some wound allocation shenginans but it's 30pts and could be used for other things such as giving him and his guard fleet and furious charge or giving the warriors some upgrades so they can hold their own in a fight... apart from that question mark think I'm happy with the army list.
