How should i equip my tyrannocyte? should i give them venom canons or barbed stranglers?

depends. no good answer for this. they cost a boatload as it is.

Should i magnetize the guns then?

it doesn't hurt, for sure. most people aren't going to care if you have deathspitters modeled and are using VC. most people aren't even going to be able to tell which gun it is.

What do you usually equip them with?

[TheHiveKing]

The armies at my local gs are orks, guard, tau eldar mix, space marines, space wolves, blood angels, and Sisters of battle.

i normally run them with just deathspitters, because ITC derp makes them not really very good as anything other than a delivery system and lane blocker.

Also kind of depends how long of a game you want. I've tried using the template weapons a few times, and with the line of sight, plus scatters, etc, it takes a bit of time dragging on the tyrannocyte shooting phase. Deathspitters are free and faster shooting phase, and you can use those 25 pts on something else. BS 2, I know, but the game won't drag on as long as it would as if you used templates all over the place. I usually have 1 or 2 units that have The Horror, and they do my pinning for me.

Would you pay 25 points for 10000000", S:D, apocalypse blast at BS2? Perhaps. Would you pay that for VC or BS at WS2? No. That simple. Put those points to use elsewhere.

I'd just do Deathspitters. Additional points for blasts that scatter don't appeal to me.
