2000pts Kraken list

[tehfrank]

Hello,
I've been collecting tyranids for a while now and would like to make a more competitive list. This is my attempt at a kraken list, but i would like some feedback from more experienced players.
My startegy for this list is to have the tyrannocyte drop in the swarmlord near something big that needs to go down first, and have the trygon prime deliver 30 termagaunts to whipe some of the enemy infantry. Then for long range damage have the biovores and hiveguard shoot where neccesary with warriors for synapse and backup for enemy deepstrikes. and in front the broodlord will charge towards the enemy with the genestealers.
The flying hive tyrant will provide extra firesupport where needed and synapse.

i wonna say you're light on synapse as you don't have a hiding character like neurothrope or mally (wouldn't include broodlord here as he will be in the thick of it and prob dead by turn 3).. would swap warriors out for one of these in my opinion..

You may also want adrenal glands on trygon for that sweet 8" charge

If you are dropping down the tyrannocyte 9 inches away from the enemy you have no use of the extra fire-lenght that barbed strangles gives you. Deathspitters may have 0,5 shots per gun less than the average barbed strangler roll sure, but it costs much less and still shoots 18 inches so you will be fine with the lenght anyway.
