I have been toying around with the idea of a ripper swarm based army. I decided to show the concept list to the 40k.ca community before I start contemplating how I'm going to get so many ripper models. Any advise and constructive criticism will be appreciated.

The Dark Tyrant, Raveners, and The Red Terror will rush ahead and soften up the enemy, supported by the hidden Lictors and infiltrating Genestealers. The Biovores will provide cover fire, and the Zoanthropes will take care of tanks. The Rippers and the Flame Tyrant plus bodyguard will clean up the remaining survivors.
