Personally, I like the second list. Yes, it has vulnerabilities, but it looks fun. You could always drop 1 warrior brood and take 2 squads of termagants.

I give the first a 7 and the second a 4/5.

The first one I like due to me using strikes from time to time. Never seen that many though. I typically for some strange reaso. Be abke to get my shrikes in with out being shot at, helps when they are behind MCs.

The second list looks a lot friendler and I seen a list like that in 2nd round ard boys.

No Doom? Why no Doom?

[chicop76]

Is it required to run doom???

I can't think of a reason why in a competitive list you would not run the doom in a pod. For his points the amount of disruption he causes by just hanging out is rather tremendous.

I've got a good reason... run Hive Guard instead. They reliably kill things that other units in the codex cannot reliably handle with shooting (tanks).

I'm not trying to be competitive or friendly. Just list building, thus not looking for 'improvement' advice, just rates
