Okay so I've been reconsidering my army ideas and have accepted I may have to go down the flyrant route 
I've been doing okay using endless swarm, hive node and living artillery node, but am feeling that I may have to up my game. So I think I may have to try this at least once. I just have to source two more flyrants from somewhere and build some more spores (I've got one that I've built using air dry clay). Its Six flyrants, some venomthropes for turn one shrouding, zoanthropes for objective holding and a big brood of termagaunts for keeping drop pods away turn one. And 16 warp charges for invisibility denying. I've not really run a list like this before so have no idea if I am missing anything important to keep it alive... so any advice appreciated.
