Hey guys,

I have a tournament coming up next month and I am relatively new to tyranids. I'm looking for some advice on my list

Malanthropes: Malanthrope

Ripper Swarms: 3x Ripper Swarm

Ripper Swarms: 3x Ripper Swarm

Ripper Swarms: 3x Ripper Swarm

Hive Guard: 6x Impaler Cannon

Tyrannofex: Rupture Cannon, Stinger Salvo

Tyrannofex: Rupture Cannon, Stinger Salvo



Kraken Battalion

Hive Tyrant: Adrenal Glands, Monstrous Rending Claws, Two Deathspitters with Slimer Maggots, Wings

Neurothrope

Genestealers
14x Genestealer: 14x Rending Claws

Termagants: 10x Termagant (Fleshborer)

Termagants: 10x Termagant (Fleshborer)

the kraken batalion is a bit weak, 14 gs are too weak, i would say nin 16.

i wouldnt take miasma cannon, better having '1 to hit kraken flyrant.

also switch the gaunts to kronos as they can act as a shield and benefit the neurothropes ability.

only way i see you increasing gs is either going patrol and loosing the neuro or reducing the hive guard to 5.

Interesting. Im kind of in agreement that 14 of the genestealers isn't enough oomph to be a threat. I would almost rather see an equivalent amt of gaunts or fodder in points just to help create blocking for your army. But admittedly your list doesn't have the most anti-horde without the stealers.

14 GS work fine as a counterpunch unit, but you dont have enough wrap for your army. A gunline most fears getting bad touched, which another aggressive army could do.

At least 1 unit of 30 would do well, but having 2 (if non ITC) Would give you great control over half the map and deny DS ans free obj grabs. Swap them over to the Kronos so they can benefit from the Malanthrope too.

Now, TFexes are awesome shooting but they're weak against strong Invuls. As are HG and Exocrenes. You only have 2 effective smites on your list, so you might want something else that deals with elites. I'd swap a Flyrant Kraken and a TFex for Swarmlord + almost max Genestealers, in addition to having 30 Gaunts at least. If points over, trim til i get Toxin sacs, or make it a double devs Flyrant instead of Miasma (TLDs great for pathogenic slime)

Ok so I've had a fiddle around with the models I have available.

Is this any better?
