I like your army, it looks good.  Just enough shooting against vehicles, and a good amount of troops too.

  You might have problems against other horde armies since they could outnumber you easily at this point level.  Also tank heavy armies could pose problems too.  The solution, guants with toxin sacs and fleshborers.  Enough strength to take on most rear armour and some side armour if you face a tank-heavy army.  And cheap enough that you can add some more numbers to your horde to face off other horde armies.

  However, 58 pts isn't going to even buy you the basic group of 8.  If you drop one of the Hormagaunt sqads to 8, you would have 154 points, enough for a 16-strong squad of these guys, with 10pts left to spare.  If you did that, I think I would put 8 of those 10 pts in extended carapace for the 8 hormagaunts.

  Well that's an idea anyways.  Maybe you'll like it, maybe not.
