1k Endless Swarm help

[karnus]

I am planning on running the following in a friendly series of games:


Hive Tyrant

20x Hormagaunts

20x Hormagaunts

20x Hormagaunts

20x Hormagaunts

1x Neurolictor

1x Neurolictor

3x Venomthropes


My personal preference is Horms over Terms, if nothing other than they are more aesthetically pleasing. I think the Nids with guns look goofy and I am going with the rule of cool, all melee if possible. Even if I don't kill anything, at 1k points I doubt many armies can deal with so many bodies on the board. Neurolictors and Venomthropes to help as many gaunts survive as possible before they need to be respawned in.


My main issue is Synapse, I don't have a lot of it, the obvious solution is to drop some horms in favour of something to provide synapse as at the moment my tyrant has a huge lascannon shaped target on it. My second issue is lack of hard hitting anti-tank.

Some help/tuning would be appreciated, you can assume I have access to any model.

Lack of hard-hitting anti-tank is the issue of Tyranids in general. We have ONE option and it’s mediocre at best.

There are 3 units with Synapse that can keep up with Horms - PoM, Flyrant and Tyranid Prime. All are cr@p. Don’t bother, just swarm the board and enjoy.
