Spiders for Big battle HotT

So, I've finally finished the expansion of the HotT (Hordes of the Things) Spider army to 72 points for Big Battle HotT. Well actually there are 74 points here, as I included 2 x Lurkers, but also two additional horde bases so that the lurkers are an option. You could argue that there ought to be more lurkers in a spider army, but.. just .. no.

The complete army (the full 74 point) is as follows:

1 x Hero (general - usually)
1 x God (Spiderman, of course)
1 x Magician (a half spider half human sorceress)
2 x Behemoths (bloody big spiders)
2 x airboats
2 x flyers
2 x Lurkers
42 x Hordes (after all this is meant to be a horde army
