Looking for tips vs light monster/vehicle spam (facing Nids this Friday).

Discussion

The list I use is - as you have probably guessed - a rather standard Coterie one with 2x WDP, 3x Exultant with Infractors, 2x Tormentors, Kako and 3x Noise plus 3x Rhino and a Maulerfiend.

I don’t want to tailor my list vs a specific oponent, but I’m going vs Nids with a bunch of Neurolictors and Deathleaper, Von Ryan’s, Thrope brick and the rest is Haruspexes, Screamers, Mawlocs and stuff like that. 5-6 mid/big monsters, so I assume a similar approach should be taken like vs a dreadnought/vehicle-heavy list?

Idea is to hopefully infiltrate in a vincinity of a NML objective with Tormentors (not on objective as I don’t want to feed VP’s and I feel like I might need bodies), Rhinos with Exultants and 5x Infractors for a semi-aggressive forward deployment (rather blocking and hiding) with Noise Marines to jump in after Rhinos unload.

What I don’t know is how to tackle the biggies and how to use Exultants with Infractors in this scenario. I don’t want to go super fast, whiff and lose a unit, but I have problems deciding what to use them against. Small stuff they can clear without the Lord’s ability, but the bigger things?

Not sure how defensive should I go, we will play WTC layout, so probably mid to heavy terrain. Should I rush and go aggressive and block with Rhinos with Noises behind? Or should I play more conservative and prepare to counter with WDP’s and Mauler?
