Hi. I want to start a tyranid army and have come up with this list. I really want to use the DoM as he seems amazing, though i know he can be hit-and-miss. I also really want a few Tervigons because I like the idea of them spawning guys mid game. The trygon i plan to send in out of synapse so i can take advantage of the feed/rage special rules.

Here's the list

270 Hive Tyrant\Winged\Hive Commander\TL Devourer

70 14x Termagaunts
70 14x Termagaunts
225 1x Tervigon\CClaws\ToxinSac\]Catalyst\Onslaught
225 1x Tervigon\CClaws\ToxinSac\]Catalyst\Onslaught

170 2x Zoanthrope - Mycetic Spore\Cluster Spines
170 2x Zoanthrope - Mycetic Spore\Cluster Spines
140 1x Doom of Malantai- Mycetic Spore\Cluster Spines

200 1x Trygon

1500pts total

List looks solid, not much that can be added. You will struggle with getting your trygon out of Synapse with Zoanthropes podding, a Flyrant zooming around and Tervigons moving towards combat / holding objectives in various spots of the board.

yes, you're right i hadn't thought about that, but if it is still in range it doesn't really matter either. There is a chance that the zoanthropes and DoM will get targetted first and then leave the trygon by itself, but really they all pose a big threat in their own way.
