Looks like you used Armyforge for the list, it's using 10.2 for the nids. 10.2.1 (in my sig) has the Synapse Swarm price of Dactylis adjusted.
Thanks for the game. What did you arm the Heirophant with?
Armyforge does actually use the 10.2.1 version:
4 Dactylis, in an independent brood, comes out at 400 points.
4 Dactylis in a small synapse brood, comes out at 500 points.
According to both the 10.2.1 army list and Armyforge.
I can se advantages to both.
Indenpendent = Harder to put BM on due to reinforced armor. Dedicated BP.
Synapse = Swarm critters in the backfield and pickup swarms that lost synapse. More vulnerable to BM and loss of BP.
I armed the hiephant with a Bile Launcher, mostly because I didn't expect it to see CC. It turned out to work well for BM prep. for other swarms engagements as well as area denial.
