500 Army list v.s Space Wolves

[nidlord2012]

Hi, I'm new to 40k and getting ready for my first battle which will be against space wolves. I'm looking for any general battle advice and list advice for the list below. Any help is greatly appreciated as I would really like to win my first game. P.S the guy I'm playing against is also a novice who I'm battling at my local GW. My list....

Tyranid Prime with deathspitter 85 pts
3x Tyranid warriors (2x deathspitter and a barbed strangler) 110 pts
Zoanthrope 60 pts
Broodlord with ST 62 pts
7x Genestealers 98 pts
17x termagants 85 pts

= 500 pts

Having played a lot vs space wolves I can tell you that if he brings long fangs your tyranid warriors will die very quickly. Although, if you had the prime out in front he wouldn't suffer the instant death and would perhaps soak up some fire for a turn.

Ymgarl genestealers normally do well vs SW. I know you can't field many but they would get to do more than the warriors. Keep your regular genestealers behind cover as you close in. I'm not sure if the termagants will do much to be honest.

I personally think ymgarl genestealers would be incredibly expensive in a 500 point game. As a new player you'll do fine with that, good luck and have fun.

When you want to expand the list and buy more models, come back and ask!

My Plan was firstly I wanted the zoanthrope to take out any possible tanks as I am bound to come up against Rhino etc. The genestealers and broodlord are going to be flanking to get into cc and tear the space wolves a new one. The termagants are simply just a wall of fire with my zoanthrope and warriors and prime sitting behind and firing. Until my termagants get destroyed I will push all my warriors with prime in for a final assault hopefully some of my genestealers will have still survived to win the final cc battle.

And thanks I will definately be getting together a group of ymgarl for my 1000 point army I'm working towards. Already ordered my first tervigon
