Initially I was in the 'same number of wounds for 1/2 VPs so why bother' camp on the Carnifex +1 wound option. Experience has taught me otherwise. Carnifexes often have to leave cover - that 36"range has its limits - and even in cover a 5+ just isn't that great when lascannons wound you on a 2+.

If you are throwing 170 points into something anyway, then 15 to give itan extra wound is a bargain.

I'm not sure why a spinegaunt is preferable to a termagant. S4 can hurt speeders, so terms can at least protect a flank. Then again, I'm not sure what use masses of 5-6 point gaunts are end of story. I prefer hormies and that may explain my preference for defensive S4 shooters

I like the 3D6 movement he gives my hormagaunts in the first turn

I don't think that list would qualify. Its overweight in synapse and lacks killing power.

How are you managing to get hormies into combat on turn 1 in anything other than cleanse?
