1250 tourney 2v2 list, help!

[biohawk]

I am relativly new to tyranids and am entering my first tourney at my local gaming store. The tourney is a 2v2 2500pt battle and i have no idea what to do. I have a relativly general idea on my army, but need the communtiy's help. here it goes...

hq-
slord

tgaurd w/ lw x2

prime w/ bs lw

elites-
zoans x2 in a pod

troops-
termies x16

hormies w/ ts x16

tervigon cataylst, role on bio

any thoughts? i know that it is over 1250 and i need help reducing it and improving it. a couple of people at my local gaming store have told me to drop the slord and replace him with a flyrant w/ twin linked devourer leech worms, but i dont want to desperse the death star. help much appreciated!!!

[biohawk]

oh! whoops left out a unit of 7 ymgarls, sorry!

I like the idea you are going for, but I don't like that ~500 points of 1250 is tied up in the SLord and guard. I feel like the list is a little spread out without much backbone. For 1250 I came up with:

HQ:
Flyrant - 2x TL dev

E:
H.Guard x2
Ymgard x7

T:
Terma x 10
Devilg x 10
Tervigon + TS/AG
Tervigon + TS/AG

FA:
Garg x 12

HS:
Biov x3

Flyrant/Garg/H.Guard/Biov harrass and dps, Terma/Devilg+Tervigons gunk up objectives. This list could also adapt to what your partner is doing too, and lets you apply more pressure if needed or tank more if needed. Alternative options are to drop garg and unupgrade devilgant unit for a Trygon or something similar. Just my 2c.

[biohawk]

i think i can go with that, but why the biov?

[citadel]

Well, in a 2v2 game it's likely you are going to be fighting some blob at some time. The bios are pretty decent and mopping up blob units, but can be replaced easily for other options.

such as... sorry newbie

[biohawk]

i went with the deathstar aproch bc there will be about 4 or 5 greyknights players, thought i could give you some background on my meta

Also noting you can't use a codex power combined with a rolled power it's all or nothing. I noticed the catalyst, roll on bio for your tervigon and thought I should tell you.

[biohawk]

oh thx, again, kinda a newb

[biohawk]

citadel, i think your list is great, the only problem is i only have one tervigon, no bios, and have around 8 days to get everything assembled and painted, i was wondering if you have another varient of your list?

What models do you have/can get ready in time for the tournament?

[citadel]

What models do you have?

[biohawk]

Sure, 2 zoans 2 hive gaurd, 24 gaunts, 24 gargs, 1 tervigon, 3 warrioirs, 1 prime, 1 hive tyrant/slord, 2 tgaurd 2 mycetic spores, 1 trygon, 16 ymgarl/genestealers. I can buy a couple more modles, but money is limted.

What army are you partnered with or is it a blind draw / rotates each round, or what?

[biohawk]

blind draw
