No need for regen on HT usually due to Biomancy unless you have the points spare.
Two tervies is a goer for sure.
We have discussed the 'two HT's or a fex issue and I understand your rationale.
Is this a 1750 list? If you drop the stealers you could have Yrngyrl or two smaller units perhaps.
Biggest thing is for the tervies to be troops you need two units of termagaunts. So how about dropping the stealers for 8 Yrngyrl and whatever is left in a unit of basic termag's?
Otherwise dont listen to the detractors - they just dont know how to use them and the list looks fine.
If i drop the toxin sacs on 1 of the Tervigons i can swap out the genestealers for 5 Ymgarl and 10 basic termagants although to me this seems like 2 easy kill points for someone so i really don't know. Venomthropes seem like a good idea to give a large area a 5+ cover which would be great, but with them only being T4 the are quite expensive to give gaunts a 30% change of surviving?
I liked the idea of the Broodlord simply for challenging big characters like Draigo and Archon because he can nulify them with a psychic test but i guess by the time a marine unit has overwatched with re rolls etc there might not be much of the unit left.
The HT, 2 Tervigons, 2 Tyranofexes, 20 gaunts with devourers and the doom are pretty much set in stone but im really unsure what to spend the remaining points on. Aeigis defence line? haha!
