Eh, Mukes can't even non-OS score/deny objectives, so I dunno (Nick I'll still take a third kthx).
What do you guys think about the whole min Genestealers + Broodlord to hide Warlord tactic? Too many points?

Mukes don't do it via contesting, fo' sho'... but it's a deterrent in the way that a S8+ AP3 blast is a threat to the vast majority of things. So if you come at an objective with a brood of those hanging around, you have to either devote potentially hilarious amounts of firepower to deal with this group of T3 models, or suffer the consequences of said blast. Plus they can act as an AA deterrent as well, declaring a 12" circle or so as a no-fly zone. A small area, all told, but potentially useful.
It's the idea of having those mukes on the back-side of the eagle-D cannon. How many marine squads are going to be willing to run up and shoot it, when you know there's a thing on the other side that can pretty easily wreck your day? Answer: None, because they were wiped to a man. But still.
Obvsies another ObSec ripper bunch isn't a bad idea, I just think you have a fair amount of DS options already, and adding another trick to your toolbox could be beneficial.
As for the 'Stealer trick, I'm... skeptic. Mainly because it involves 'stealers. In practice, I think it really just depends on the army you're facing, which may be enough of a reason to do it. Anything with Eldar-esque speed will be able to get to your hiding spot. Anything that can hold back a DS'ing unit (drop marines, etc) until after you've come on will find your hiding spot. Anything on the more pondorous side (gunline-type Tau/IG, drop pods that dropped too soon) will basically fail at ever trying to catch him.

Yeah, they are another trick. And 3 isn't anything to really mess with.
Ugh, what we really need to do is practice.

As per my post in the Adepticon thread, I won't be able to do 40k champs anymore thanks to a work trip that thurs/friday, but I still want to take out my frustrations by helping you dudes practice against my 1850 DE/Eldar list.
