Hello and welcome to the forums!

So, the key word you mentioned there was 'horde'. For a horde you need lots and lots of little gribblies. Hormagaunts or Termagents. Decide which route you want to go down really. Termagents aren't great but they make up for it in numbers. Add a couple of Tervigons too and you've got a lot of models on the board.

Hormagaunts are nasty though and compliment your Stealers well. I'd perhaps think about going down that route.

Gargoyles are also good value. For 1 point more than a Termagant, you get auto wound on 6 and wings. Wraithlords beware!

You have way too few models for horde in this list. If you truly want horde, then you are wasting way too many points in Trygons, broodlords and spores. Take gaunts of some sort to really flex out the horde. Now you could alter the horde idea to a genestealer mob list...which might be complimented by the trygons...but this seems to be too low a points game for 2 trygons while trying to play a numbers game.

Now if these are the models you have, and you want to build a list for that...then we can help with tactics, but if you are just trying a starter list...then some battleforces to get some gaunt numbers will help greatly.

Keep in mind that if you want horde...then you want quantity over quality. Everything in your list speaks to elite units (not elite slots...but elite as a describing term)

how many points? personally i would run around 30-50 Hgaunts, or 60-70 Tgaunts, and a unit or warriors 3-5 with a prime, no hive tyrant. leave the trigons but make them primes, and use gargoyles to your advantage as already stated, as well for me raveners are great!!! pop those trygons up and out come the raveners.........
