lot of views on the thread, no comments? come on, guys! i'll start.

couple of things:

HVC isn't the best choice for, well, anything. if you're going shooting, go w/ the brainleech worms. also, if he's walking, armored shell + tyrant guard are almost mandatory or he's going to be shot to hell. if not, then make him a flyrant and give him some gargs to screen him.

the two 30-strong gant blob units: expensive. don't pay for the buffs on the gants, give your tervigons AG/TS so they buff their surrounding units. 30 of them in a unit is huge, you're going to have a difficult time moving that many around.

stealers: hard to go wrong w/ them.

your elites: lot of discussion on what the best setup is for our elites. i'm not a fan of DoM personally, but you've got him in a pod, along w/ HG and zoe's so pretty much are doing it right. i pod my zoe's personally, your mileage may vary.

i'm not a fan of the single tfex either; i'd run two or none. one is easily dealt with and doesn't put out a lot of fire. two is a problem. watch for poisoned/high AP/volley fire and force weapons.

i don't run trygons, but most folks say the prime upgrade isn't worth it. i can't really say as i've never used them, but much like the tfex, run multiples. one, easily dealth with. two, not so easy.

hope that helps.

Consider the following options:

What are your plans for protecting your hive tyrant? For a walking Tyrant consider armored shell, regen and tyrant guard. Maybe even a prime with regen. Makes a good high toughness 2+ armor deathstar. Problem is in some cases it's a high cost that can get ignored. Still something to consider.

I like my termagants in a spore pod with devourers. Personally I like 20 of those in a pod. If you drop say 5 pods in the enemies face might be intersting. 40 gants, six zoeys, and DOM with outflanking stealers I would say you have one hell of a Reserve front line:

20 Termagants Dev. and Pod 240
20 Termagants Dev. and Pod 240
3 Zoanthropes and Pod 220
3 Zoanthropes and Pod 220
1 Doom of Malinti and Pod 130
10 Genestealers Toxin Sacs 170

Leaves us 780 points for starting on the board

1 Tervigon Catalyst/AG/TS 195
10 Termagants 50
Hive Tyrant 280
(Armored Shell, OA, HC, Regeneration)
Tyrant Guard (LW) 130
Tyranid Prime 105
(LW/BS, Regen)

Leaves you 20 points you can get a gun on the Hive tyrant or do something else. I don't know what people will say about my idea it could be lots of fun. Mostly Gigasnail gave all the decent advice I (and most others) would give so I tried to make something interesting to think about. If you give us a little more information (i.e. is for a tournament, are you playing with buddies, do you want to fight a specific type of list ect.) We can work with a bit more. I also tried to work within the comfort zone of the list. I wasn't going to suggest you purchase 1000 points of new models just because thats what I use. I run a very different list but I think this could be a big headache for some lists. To me I try to have the most fun I can and not go crazy about winning/losing that being said I still like to run efficent units that make sense. I think the points are ok I don't have my codex in front of me I think the points add up correctly but forgive me if I made a mistake.

Your list is close to how I often build my own, I would however. Drop the upgrades on the gants, the tyrano and Doom, hes fun I know but gotta have the anti tank.

My major beef with tyrants is im never happy with their outlet, I'd drop the hvc and prolly use x2 devourers, giving him 1 guard would also let you play cover games with him. If you keep the tyrant switching and keep your deepstriking units to 0-2 you might want to consider old adversary if your making a more gant heavy list.Personaly Id drop the tyrant in gen adn grab 2 primes and attach them to the gant squads so they can benafit from the tervigons buffs, give them lash and sword with a deathspitter and shes 100pnts of awsome.

Id go with 2 25 man gant broods, I find 30 is just to big to move them around easily, yet 25 is still plenty big.

grab 2 broods of 3 hive guard and put your zoans in a pod

grab a additional tervigon and put toxic sacs, catalyst and adrenal glands on both of them

a brood of horms with posion or adrenal glads would be nice to take advantage of the outflank from your hive commander, or you could outflank one of your tervigons, also horms are just nice, with one upgrade and they become the poor mans stealer and with fnp can really last.

The primes extra shots are nice but in the changes id make put you already at 4 synapse creatures, id give him adrenal glands, not always needed but its a game changer if it comes into play like with charging a dread for example. What pnts are you playing?

I played 2 games tonight using this list. The first game against Grey Knights and the second against Blood Angels. I lost both games. Looks like it back to the drawing board for me. I will be making a new list taking feed back into consideration. I'm still new and trying new things. i will be changing this threads list from now on. It should change every week.

[TheContortionist]

updating. open to suggestions.
