2000p. Help out a new guy.

Hey Hive, I was developing this list over the basis of how I feel about its presence on the table. I feel like an MC heavy list is the coolest thing Nids can do. I'm not sure if it will be good or not, It doesn't need to be competitive, but I would like to have a fighting chance.

This is what I've came up with, let me know what you think about the list; I'm relatively new to 40k and tyranids.


Tyranids
HQ - 410
The Swarmlord (410)
• 2 Tyrant Guard: lash whips.

Elites - 270
3 Hive Guard (150)

2 Zoanthropes (120)

Troops - 660
10 Termagants (120)
devourer; adrenal glands; toxin sacs.

Tervigon (200)
Catalyst; crushing claws.

Tervigon (220)
Catalyst; crushing claws; adrenal glands; toxin sacs.

Heavy Support - 660
3 Carnifexes (660)
2 sets of twin-linked devourers with brainleech worms; adrenal glands.
• Mycetic Spore: venom cannon.

You are taking a Mycetic Spore for each Carnifex right? They can only carry 1x MC

Not much I can add beside personal taste.

[Lanesend]

The only screening units you have in the initial setup are the devilgaunts. They are a bit expensive as a screen.
Maybe change one brood of 10 devilgaunts for 20 fleshborer gaunts?

And it looks like you paid for only one spore for those fexes. You could of course drop one fex in a pod, and move the other two as one brood over the table.

And if you plan to go for Iron Arm on the Swarmlord, drop one Tyrant Guard. If you plan on taking Telepathy powers, two Guards are fine.

All in all, I like the list.

Get more troops like gaunts and genestealers as they are more numerous and work much better than lots of big creatures.

I totally disagree with the above comment. Genestealers are fairly ordinary now in 6th Ed. as are Hormagaunts.

^qft. Genestealers are only worth getting the minimum for Broodlords in 6e. Hormagaunts are just meh.

Don't waste points giving Gaunts Toxin Sacs and Adrenal Glands when your Tervigons grant them to them anyway.
