Starting my tyranid force

[knightman15]

I have just finished with my space marine army, and thought that Tyranids would be a nice change from my "cookie cutter" ultramarines. So I went to my local gaming store and picked up a tyranid battleforce and a hive tyrant. Basically I'm at the point right now where I'm looking online at different 6th edition army builds that include what I already have... With little success.

Basically my question is what are the best things to stick on my battleforce units and my hive tyrant for a decent tyranid starting army. And what units should i be purchasing next?My last army was put together in an unorganized mess and I want my Tyranid army list to make sense !

Paint your Termis, Hermis, and Gargoyles. I have yet to see alist buildt without one of these theree, Hermis are less recamended as far as I have seen. I still try to have a spot fir them though.... The most recaended models: Tervigon, and Hive Guard. My opinion is find atatic you find fun then build an army around that idea. I am working on an army that onlt cares about First Blood, Slay the Warlord, and Linebreakers and forces to not being able to defend oppjectives.

First thing first. What kind of player are you? Do you want to be shooty, assaulty or both? Also since I am brain dead, when you say "my question is what are the best things to stick on my battleforce units and my hive tyrant for a decent tyranid starting army" you just mean the bio morphs to add, or what other minis to add to what you already have?

But first we like to know, how would you like to play your Nids?
