Dark Mechanicus! 2k List.

[zome45]

Hello! First time posting on this forum, but I've had the tyranid codex for awhile now. My friend convinced me to make a Dark Mechanicus (evil Adeptus Mechanicus) army, and I decided to use this codex. This is ment to be a fun list, as I don't plan to enter into tournaments.

I tried to find units with cool rules, like deathleaper and the Parasite of mortrex. The new flying monstrous creature rules are awesome so I had to add a flyrant.

Hive Tyrant-230
-Wings

Parasite of Mortrex-160

Tyranid prime-80

Tyranid Prime-80

Skyslasher Swarm(5)-75

Deathleaper-140

Termagaunts (20)-100

Tervigon-195
-toxin sacs
-adrenal glans
-catalyst

Tyranid warriors(4)-130
-Barbed Strangler

Tyranid warriors(4)-130
-Barbed Strangler

Mawloc-170

Carnifex-250
-2 twin-linked devourers
-Bio-Plasma
-Mycetic Spore

Carnifex-250
-2 twin-linked devourers
-Bio-Plasma
-Mycetic Spore

There it is. I plan to custom make and paint most of the models for my Mechanicus army, so i'm trying to avoid too much cannon fodder in favor of a few monstrous creatures.

Im only fighting space marines, so anything against them specifically would be great.

Thanks Guys!

I'm not really seeing why you would use this codex for Dark Mechanicus. Perhaps explain some of the ideas behind the choices?

Yeah I'm having a hard time finding a connection too.
