Advice on Kill Team

[yolkyelk]

I am new to the hive and getting into Kill Team.

What knowledge could you guys give me in making a tyranid Kill Team?

Lictor is fun.
Warrior(s) with a bunch of horms is good.
CPs are worthwhile for injury rerolls.

Basic rules the best list is horde style. GS with Acid Maw as Leader hides in a corner or on an objective and avoids getting killed, Warrior with VC + AG for Synapse and fill up with Gants/Gaunts to taste (favouring Gaunts).
Fun version is ditching most of the gribblies and adding two Lictors instead (Veteran + Combat). Be aware of the FAQ, Warriors sadly can't be Comms anymore, which suxxxxxx (make him a Heavy instead for Advance + shoot with the VC).

Simple Elites version is a mixed variant of the above, running as Kraken. People reported success with Raveners, haven't tried it yet (I don't play much with Nids in KT).

Thank you for the advice.
Would it be worthwhile to give raveners any ranged bio morphs and should I have 2 scything or or trade a pair for rending claws?
Also are tyrant guard any good in KT?

Really not sure about Raveners, don't really have advice to offer. Short range shooting with BS4+ and no AP - I don't like the look of that considering -1 to hit modifiers in KT.

Tyrant Guard also no idea, haven't heard or seen anything regarding them at all. I think they are a bit expensive and still die fast to either hordes (Nids, DE, CSM) or high S shooting (shooty AdMech, SM, IG).
