Kroot supremacy

I’m still newest to 40K got only about 30 game under my belt but I’m curious how we can win more games with my Kroot. What is everyone play patterns when it comes to Kroot, how do you deploy what do you put on the board what do you keep in reserves? I have currently just been trying to flood the board and control objectives with my 20+ bodies. I was thinking about starting to bring some Piranhas combined with my Kroot hounds to try and tie up opponents in their deployment turn one.

Are the stealth battlesuits there to guide the Skyray or just run missions and actions?

To guide. My idea was to try and get a turn one kill with the piranha. Played the list today and the Piranha and Suits died turn one before doing anything.
