Idea is tyrant flies around trying to get first strike and keep warlord safe. Lots of infiltrating obj sec and generally try and play to objectives whilst tarpitting anything and everything with throwaway gaunts that come back on a 4+
Any thoughts any one? Going to be my first 40k tourney, so zero experience here.

This looks cracking! A bit different too, incorporating lots of things that work together well without relying too heavily on a single unit.
My only thought would be Fighter Ace on the Flyrant - whilst almost always good, it's also pricy.
40K - Tyranids (4500 Points) & Chaos - The Purge and the Brazen Host (8500 Points)
30K - Death Guard (2000ish Points), Sons of Horus (175 Points because Loken) + World Eaters, soon.
Project Log
"Only a fool takes Khârn for a mindless brute or rabid dog. Under that blood-soaked helm lurks an intelligence and cunning that makes him a masterful killer - trust me when I say that there is a dark purpose in his madness."
