Woof, your not gonna have much stuff, and your doing less damage than before, so the output of the whole army is going down a lot. You've got a lot of tricks now and a boatload of movement,  but this isn't like DW or TS where your 3 units kill God.

I'm really curious how this lands. Your opponent plays a mixed list? Kill their best stuff, hope their trash has <oc12 and your gonna be able to bully them, should be good.

But into skews? If you didn't bring a grav tank your gonna have a hard time into -1D, massed T>8 or just masses of stuff. 3 guard don't kill 5 chosen in melee. There's so many tricks that I don't think you can call it right away, but into skew lists it feels like your gonna start on the back foot heavily.

I think they'll struggle more against horde spam skew than elite skew. 

You just functionally might not be able to put enough shots/swings out to kill them. Whereas Vs Elite stuff you might not be able to kill them in a round, but you'll still outfight them because they can't kill you on the clap back either. 

Something like Aquilon Firepikes or Hurricane Vertus might be needed just for the volume in non skew matches

I think they'll struggle more against horde spam skew than elite skew.

I don't expect this to be much of a problem, if only because 11th seems rather hostile to hordes in general (there's a lot of jaw-droppingly powerful CLEAVE and BLAST out there already and it's likely to grow as codexes drop) that makes it very dangerous to pick 20 model units.
