12 Tyranids of Christmas List?

[superchum]

Ok being the holiday season thought would ask if anyone has a list that would follow the theme of 12 Tyranids of Christmas (you know the song)

What can you come up with for a valid list that would match the Christmas jingle, standard FOC and under 2000pts welcome, unless you have a really good one that justifies DFOC.

[Illithid]

1x Flyrant (HQ)
2x Tervigons (Troops)
3x Biovores (Heavy)
4x Hive Guard (Elites)
5x Shrikes (Fast)
6x Ripper Swarms (Troops)
7x Ymgarls (Elites)
8x Stealers (Troops)
9x Raveners (Fast)
10x Gargoyles (Fast)
11x Termagants (Troops)
12x Devilgants (Troops)

Close as I could get and still 93 points over 2k

It might be easier to remove the 2000 point limit superchum, you will get more entries then.

heres another one though (to the tune of Jingle bells)

Dashing through the snow
Like a hormgaunts bound leap
over the no mans land we go
consuming as we go
what fun it is eat and hunt
a feasting song tonight

oh, Jingle bells, the imperium fell (chorus)
chaos flew away, oh what fun it is to fly
in the mind of a flyrant hey!

A day or two ago
i thought i would take flight
and soon some gargoyles took the right
the prey was lean and lank
misofrtune seem their day
we swooped to a drifted bank
then we made them pay

Chorus x4

Yes i know it doesnt ryhme in some places but its the best i could do in ten minutes and sorry for derailing the thread, i suppose i am keeping to it in a sense

[Lanesend]

OK, a short one then.

Rudolph the smashing Trygon
had a bio-electric pulse
And all marines who opposed him
were turned into bones and skulls

(....like they all should!)

[GuardDog78]

On the 12th day of invasion the Hive Mind swarmed IG...
12 gaunts a 'leaping
11 gants a 'shooting
10 gargoyles flapping
9 rippers swarming
8 stealers rending
7 ymgarls changing
6 warriors leading
5 PYROS'S ON THE SHELF!!! (no points here)
4 biovores
3 carnifex
2 tervigon
and the Swarm Lord is coming for thee!!!

1990 pts (pyros don't count) in one FoC (1 troop terv...one hq) and you can make it match the tune...

Hey good to see some Hive Holiday spirit

List does not have to be 2000pts, can be any points, just thought if it was playable would make things more interesting. Any holiday lists welcome.

illithid Great start! I made some edits to your list to fit the song. Post any other edits or changes as I am sure there are others more creative them I am amongst the Hive.

12x Gaunts Devouring (Troops)
11x Gaunts plaining (Troops)
10x Gargoyles a gargling (Fast)
9x Raveners raging (Fast)
8x Stealers a Stealing (Troops)
7x Ymgarls a yawning (Elites)
6x Rippers a lurking (Troops)
5x Shot up Shrikes (Fast)
4x Hive Guard (Elites)
3x Biovores (Heavy)
2x Tervigons (Troops)
1x And a Flyrant in a mystic Tree (HQ)

Nice contributions on the other lyrics: Any one got one for "Crusty the Carnifex"? (frosty the snow man)

"5 PYROS'S ON THE SHELF!!! (no points here)"

LOL - Now that's the kind of Holiday Humor I would expect from the Hive. Thanks for posting.
