1750 list, thoughts?

[slawter]

What do you guys think of the following list? Because of my LGS's comp score I have to have something from every Organization slot and try to vary my units. Think it'll be effective?

HQ:
Tyranid Prime-115pts
Bonesword and Lashwhip, Scything Talons, Toxin Sacs, Regeneration


Elites:
3 Hive Guard-150pts

3 Zoanthropes (Switch powers for Telekinesis)-180pts (I'm still not sold on these, should I get another squad of 3 Hive Guard?)

8 Ymgarl Genestealers-184pts


Troops:
20 Termagants-100pts

15 Termagants-150pts
Devourers
-Mycetic Spore-40pts

Tervgion (Switch for Biomancy)-210pts
Toxin Sacs, Adrenal Glands, Catalyst, Onslaught

Tervgion (Switch for Biomancy)-210pts
Toxin Sacs, Adrenal Glands, Catalyst, Onslaught


Fast Attack:
25 Gargoyles-175pts
Adrenal Glands

OR

5 Raveners-175pts
Rending Claws


Heavy Support:
Trygon-235pts
Toxin Sacs, Regeneration

Couple of things. These are just my opinions based on my play style. You asked...

Drop the Tyranid Prime for a Dakka Flyrant - 260 points
Drop the 20 Termagants down to 10 Devilgants. - 100
Drop the Devilgants down to ten and drop the spore. (frees up 90 points for Flyrant) - 100
Add Scything Talons to one Tervigon - 215
2nd Tervigon keep the same - 210
3 Hive Guard - 150
8 Ymgarls - 184
8 Ymgarls - 184
17 Gargoyles (ts/ag) - 136
Trygon (ts) - 210

1749 points

Drop the number of Gargoyles down enough to give them Toxin Sacs. So about 21-22 Gargoyles.

Trygon should only be 210 with Toxin Sacs. You don't really need anything else on him. (that would give you points for the Gargoyles)

I like all of your units. Couple of comments:

Prime: I don't see a roll for this guy. Maybe with Gaunts?
Flyrant: I am becoming a big fan of the Flyrant, but that is at least 260 pts.... how many flyers in your meta?

I like Zoans in 6th, but don't commit to TK, wait to see what you are facing. Having some Endurances and Enfeebles is pretty darn helpful also.

You could drop to 7 or 6 Yealers if you need to; I prefer 8 if you can keep them.

Having a big brood of gaunts can be handy (fearless tarpit, etc) but you also don't need 20. You can drop to 10 to save some points.

If dropping devilgaunts... I always like 20. They are pretty weak in CC, so I really want to kill some models with shooting when I drop

Tervs: If you are switching to Biomancy.... try getting CCLaws on them so they can actually do some damage in CC. Also, you could probably get away with only 2 rolls on Biomancy, and save 15 pts. (remember, they have Dominion for free)

Gargs: I always like both TS and AG on my gargs (and horms). With both, 15 is big enough; though a few more is always nice.

Trygon: Don't bother with Regen, if you want to spend points, I would go with Prime for the shooting and Character status.
However: I would probably drop the Trygon all together for a couple of biovores, this gives some long range shots, and frees up a bunch of points for other things. (like that Flyrant)


So, my suggestions:

Drop Prime and Trygon
pick up flyrant
pick up Biovore
Add 5 more devigaunts
Pick up CCLaws on both Tervs
Drop down to 18 TS/AG gargs

At this point you are at 1753, I think.

Other changes to consider

Add OA to Flyrant
Add second Biovore
Add, or subtract, a few gargs (+/- 3)
Remove a power from each Terv
Drop some gaunts
Drop some Yealers


But remember, you are playing this list, so you need to like it.
