Saw this formation at a tournament in Alabama this weekend. Its from the Imperial Armor 5, 2nd Edition - Siege of Vraks - Page 271

Traitor Guard teaching Tyranids how to do the Endless Swarm in premier fashion... coming back on a 2+, and gaining Crusader and Outflank for newly spawned units. Also, bonuses to cover saves for shooting through friendly units.

Competitive 40k Player, Warzone: Atlanta, ATC, 11th Co.
Armies: Tyranids, Space Marines, Eldar, Grey Knights & Genestealer Cults.
Started Tyranids in 2009 4th Edition Codex

Because GW. Damn I hate them more and more. If/when we get an "update", it better be damn good or I'm going back to my corner to pout (and paint). I am mad though.

Maybe just proxy the whole bloody army. "Yeah, the tyranid prime counts as my renegade warlord, those 30 gants are cultists, same with the other two blobs. The zoanthrope is my psyker/librarian".

There is a cancer eating at the Imperium. With each decade it advances deeper, leaving drained, dead worlds in its wake. This horror, this abomination, has thought and purpose which functions on an unimaginable, galactic scale and all we can do is try to stop the swarms of bio-engineered monsters it unleashes upon us almost by instinct. We have given the horror a name to salve our fears; we call it the Tyranid race, but if it is aware of us at all it must know us only as Prey.

Don't forget the random Leadership for squads.

	Just wait, when Tyranids are upset, they slaughter entire galaxies and take 16 billion year naps. They suffer like champions do, quietly, gracefully and covered in blood!
