*'''[[Tyrannocyte]]''': Fleshy [[Drop Pods]] that let you stick either one Monster of your choice (but only if it has 16 max wounds or less - no shoving a Hierodule in there) or one unit of up to 20 Infantry models into (models that have more than 1 wound count as 3 models). The main problem with the Tyrannocyte is its BS of 5+, which means you pay out of your nose for its guns, knowing full well that two-thirds of its shots won't do a thing. The Barbed Stranglers are 25 points more than the Deathspitters, but the blast rule also increases the volume of fire when firing upon larger units. With the crappy base BS, this makes a huge difference. Just make sure you are actually able to fire at a large unit, either by dropping the Tyrannocyte right next to one or by providing synapse support... possibly from inside the Tyrannocyte itself.
**Being so versatile means lots of odd combos exist beyond just podding the Swarmlord. Any infantry/critter can be housed. Venomthropes, Zoanthropes, Shrikes, Tervigons, and many others can be re-positioned. You can also have a small variety of toolbox units and choose which one goes in pods during deployment. Another element could be to pod in a Swarmlord and a Harpy or flying hive tyrant to give vast agility in re-positioning your army.
