Hello,
I'm a new Warhammer 40k player who got started collecting tyranids earlier this year. There are five guys playing in my local 'meta', a mech focused orc player, suit spamming tau, triple landraider csm and a dude with a beard that plays necrons so I call them the Neckbeardrons.
I've played a half dozen games at a range of points (500, 1000, 1500) and we have recently decided that 1850 is a good size to aim for.
I have the following models:
64 termagants, 7 ripper swarms, 40 hormagaunts, a trygon prime, a tervigon, a winged hive tyrant, 10 gargoyles, 3 warriors, a venomthrope, a zoanthrope and a carnifex
I've had mixed success so far in games but find it really hard to beat the chaos player as he just brings his AV14 landraiders and Heldrake and wipes me out. The Tau army has also been a tough nut to crack. I have beaten the necrons soundly playing most of what is in the above list of models without much in the way of upgrades (usually dropping troop choices to fit the points cost).
I was wondering if anyone had any tips either about tactics for what I already have or future purchases that I can use to move toward combating armour and flyers (many of my friends have started a model buying arms race with vehicles and flyers, I'm not looking forward to double annihilation barge, double night scythe next time I play necrons).
