Going back to basics. (1500 pts.)

[killercroc]

So I've grown annoyed at all the large scale games so I've decided to switch things out and go for a smaller size army. Usually we play 2,500 in most games but it takes too long and quite frankly gives you too many points to take every single unit you need. I figure that at lower points you have to be a lot more careful in your selection of units, taking a mix of everything. So I've cut it back some and made a more Typical Tyranid army without all the spam that usually comes with large games.

HQ:
Tervigon- Toxin sacs, Adrenal glands, Rgenerate- 250 pts.

Troops:
Gaunts- 20x- Spinefists, Toxin sacs- 120 pts.

Gaunts- 20x- Devourers- 160 pts.

Hormagaunts- 20x- Toxin sacs- 160 pts.

Warriors- 5x
4x- Scything talons, Deathspitters
1x- Scything talons, Barbed strangler- 180 pts.

Elites:
Hive guard- 3x- 165 pts.

Lictors- 3x- 150 pts.

Heavy support:
Biovores- 3x- 120 pts.

Tyrannofex- Acid spray, Electroshock grubs, Toxin sacs- 195 pts.

Total: 1,500 pts.

Ifigure this list gives me plenty of options and a little bit of everything to take down whatever comes my way. I'm fairly happy with it but have not had a chance to play test it. So in reguards to being a more mellow typical list what do you guys/gals think?

I would definitely add a zoarthrope or two if you can spare the points as it will give everything behind your sheild of gaunts a 3+ cover save

Also a flyrant with twin linked brain leech devour's is a must

I assume you mean Venomthropes instead of Zoanthropes. I was thinking of wither taking them or the lictors, I might switch out the 3 lictors for 2 Venomthropes and 1 lictor to give me both the cover boost and still a lond assassin to take out units on the rear of the board or that are isolated.

With no characters to be warlord you'll be missing out on potentially powerful warlord traits.

Consider swapping the lictors for stealers with a broodlord maybe, or for deathleaper.
