Why the second set of tyrant guard?

give the SwarmLord 12 ablative wounds

Definitely drop the 2nd set of Tyrant Guard. Another Dakkafex would increase his survivability just as much because he can threaten you opponent, and contribute with damage.

The other thing that would GREATLY increase Swarmy's survivability is a brood of gargoyles. You could drop some of your overly abundant troops to make it happen.

Gargoyles are great for swarmy because he can buff them (furious charge). They can screen him without getting in the way. They can eat overwatch and tarpit things that would threaten swarmy. Alternatively, Swarmy can eat overwatch, and let the gargs attack freely into combat.

Honestly, if i were you i would drop the second set of tyrant guards and add a bio-blast formation. All you need is another Dakkafex and a 100 point pack of warriors.

Formation

A Bioblast Node consists of the following units:

• 1 Tyranid Warrior Brood

• 3 Carnifex Broods

• 1 Tyrannofex

Formation Restrictions

The Tyranid Warrior Brood in this Formation must include a model that has taken an item from

the Basic Bio-cannons list. Carnifex models in this Formation must take at least one option

from the Monstrous Bio-cannons list.


Formation Special Rules

Bio-deluge: All units in this Formation have the Split Fire special rule. In addition, models in

this Formation that are within 12" of this Formation’s Tyranid Warrior Brood can re-roll failed To

Wound rolls of 1 in the Shooting phase.

TL Brain leach are considered monstrous bio-weapons. Splitfire is pointless except for the warriors since you will only have 1x3 carni broods, but the re-rollable on wounds is nice.
