2000 point tournament

[doomduck]

Hello fello nid players. Just starting out playing 40k but was a competitive fantasy player. Iv got a tournament on the 20th of this month. Luckily my army only has to be primed and WYSIWYG. So I got a ton on models from trading old army’s and iv got enough to go two different lists. Iv only had one game with each list and lost both.
So what list could be more competitive?

Would recommend list #2. Mostly becuase genestealers is best used in units with 10+ models. Would recommend putting 2 units of 15 instead of 20 and 10.

So after some games I think I’m going agro. Love the genestealer popping up with trygon and munching down on some dudes. I went light on HQ with this list as physics are solid. Smite space is great.
Now iv just got to paint as much as I can and maybe tweek some things but I think genestealer with trygon and biovore are the MVP, runner up is hormagaunts with caustic blood. Going to try out Mucolid spores this times as my big spores just showed up in the mail. If my pyrovores show up in time I’m going to drop the lictor and shave a few warrior to add a unit of 2/3, if they soak up a round of shooting like the venomthrope then I’d rather have them.
