New 1850 Tyranid Army

[indecission]

Hi everyone! I recently decided to make the switch from GK to Tyranids as GK felt a bit too much like a blunt instrument for my taste. I have yet to purchase any models so everything is pretty much open for editing.

My main matchup will be Tau, but I would prefer to have a balanced all-comers list.

After much agonizing, I decided to switch out a trygon for a biovore pack and larger termagant units. While the models aren't as eye-catching, I believe they will fill a much needed gap in the list moreso than the trygon would. I was curious if this looks good?

2 Tyrants w/2 TL Devs, Wings. One with HC

3 Hive Guard
3 Zoan w/ pod
1 Doom w/ pod

28 termagant
28 termagant
2 Tervigon w/ AG, TS, +1 Psychic Power each

3 Biovore

Looks good. I like that you're using more than 10 termagants in your units, and the biovores too. Far all people on here rave about them they don't actually appear in lists very often

Thanks! Those were the two points on which I was the most unsure, but as I thought over the list more and more it seemed like the way to go for the type of list I was picturing.

the zon and doom with pods are great but if ur agaist tau shouldn't you be using more gens and fast combatants instead of shooty units

I was considering taking a pack of 20 or so gargs for a time, but every report I heard on them sounded kind of lackluster to me. Plus if I'm being completely honest, my opinion on fast attack infantry may be colored by my experiences with Grey Knight Interceptors, which were always below my expectations.

I was also considering running 3 Tervigons but couldn't quite squeeze it in while maintaining the balance I was looking for across the list as a whole. In the end I decided 2 with 2 large units of termagants as ample fodder would give the opponent something to consider. I am just starting to look into Tyranids however, so I am by no means an expert. My plan here is to send the tyrants up the flanks and have the rest of the army advancing together towards weak points in the enemy line to cause general chaos while the elites and biovores take care of any loose threats.


edit:
Genestealers are definitely something I am considering, if not for my initial purchase, then sometime in the future. My usual opponent likes to throw in the occasional unit of sniper drones and these seem like a nice option for that. For this list I am just trying to come up with something balanced for when I face other armies at my FLGS, and termagants sounded like the go-to for an all around unit from what I have heard.
