[Help Wanted] Best 200 pts Kill Team

[akaiyou]

I'd like some ideas on the cheeziest most broken kill teams that tyranids can offer. The kind that makes your friends hate you.

The rules I need to follow are as follows:

200 pts limit
FOC limits = 0-1 Elite, 0-2 Troops, 0-1 Fast Attack

All models act as independent units

Up to 3 models may be chosen as 'specialists' and can be given 1 special rule max each, from the rulebook special rules section.

Here are 3 of my top ideas


Kill Team 1

10 Termagants
1 Hive Guard [Shrouded]
1 Hive Guard [Stealth]
1 Hive Guard [Twin-Linked]

Strategy - Basically play hide and seek with the hive guard in cover and the gaunts far behind them where they can't take damage. In case of a landspeeder I'll run up the 2 hive guards with cover bonuses to take it out.

Kill Team 2

4 Genestealers (Toxin Sacs)
1 Genestealer(Toxin Sacs) [Stealth]
1 Broodlord (Toxin Sacs) [It Will Not Die]
1 Hive Guard [Shrouded]

Strategy - One virtually unkillable hive guard to chase down vehicles from behind cover, genestealers with poison and a broodlord that can hopefully get to abuse it will not die, since i wanted a special rule to grant him protection.

Kill Team 3

1 Doom of Malantai [Eternal Warrior]
1 Tyranid Warrior w/Deathspitter ; Scything Talons [Smash]
1 Tyranid Warrior w/Deathspitter ; Scything Talons [Shrouded]
1 Tyranid Warrior w/Deathspitter ; Scything Talons

Strategy - I was considering infiltrate on the doom to get it that much closer and perhaps flank the enemy, but eternal warrior just screams out 'use me' with him. Specially considering that I can expect some kind of S8+ in enemy kill teams. The Warriors are there to support the doom's advance


Please post your alternative ideas to this

I replied on your original post with something very much simular to list 3, though why Smash? Sure S8 with 3 attacks is ok, but if their seeking combat their probs Paladins or Ork Nobs, which are going to make short work of your lone Warrior. 1vs1 you can't stand up to them, so I wouldn't bother, twin-linked would be good. 3 S5 twin-linked shots sounds neat!

Smash to deal with power armor/terminator armor sicne it'll make all my attacks AP2, granted that i'll usually strike first it gives me an answer to dealing with marines other than the Doom.

If i give them 2 viable threats instead of 1, it'll force them to falter I thought about TLing it tho but ultimately decided smash wud help more specially if i need to pop a rhino

Ah I didn't know it made you AP2. In that case paint the Warrior green and give him purple pants, WARRIOR SMASH! Seriously that's awesome! I retract my Paladin/Nobz comment.

Broodlord with smash would be awesome :x

Then DoM with EW.

Finish off with Shrouded Hiveguard.

Pretty insane kill team there, especially if you get endurance on the broody.

I like those lists a lot here are some i have used in the past :
22 termagants and the DoM with eternal warrior
6 Raveners -Whatever upgrades take your fancy
3 warriors with DS + 6 Genestealers
