I have an idea, what is your take on it?

Okay this might be a little hard to explain but I am going to try any ways. I want to build a rarrior sized army that has a chance.

Main units: Warriors, Shrikes, Raveners, either two primes or a prime and a POM for HQ. Mycetic spores definaty but I want to try and avoid MCs unless absolutly nessary. I am thinking Hive guard and zoans for elite one unit of zoans and two hive guard units.

1500 pts how would you do it?

A whole army of T4 multiwounds? I'd cross my fingers and pray hard I never ran into any armies with heavy weaponry, MLs, Longfangs, Vendettas, etc. Seriously though, go for a T4 multiwound heavy army if you wish but a whole army of em is askin for some nasty beatdowns and tablings. Tyranids rely heavily on synergy and saturation, Tyranid armies don't do well when so focused unless it's hordes.

So I saw this post and I have been also wanting to see it the warrior army could work.. and i also did no MC like you asked... I also want to say sorry if i am not able to post the points on here i looked to see if i could.. so again sorry if i cant...

You have a flex of 30pts or so for the warrior weapon upgrade, you have to take the weapons on the pods.. and yes pod weapons are nasty. I hope you like this.. I am always open to feed back of all kinds.

Tyranid prime 80
-LW/BS

Looks a little weak at 1500.

Only 30 bodies fielded and there's a lot of nasty for you to face out there on the battlefield.
I always look at warriors/Raveners/shrikes and by the time i've popped a few upgrades on them i'm left wondering where all my points went.

Not the way I would of done it , but I always like making list for people who wanna try something new , I went for a speed list with a mix of units . No MC's is rough , I field infanty units alone so yeah , watch out for power weapons and ML
