I have recently bought some Hormgaunts and Genestealers, thinking that is good base to build upon for a horde army but I still like to receive some advice before I buy more stuff. Im almost completly new to the game so any advice is welcome
This my first attempt
BATTALLON DETACHMENT(KRAKEN)= 3CP
*Hivefleet Adaptation= Questing Tendrils
HQ
-Hive Tyrant(143pts) with Mounstrous Rending Claws (0pts), Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs (9pts) Venomthorn Parasite (0pts), and Heavy Venom Cannon (18pts)= 170pts
*Warlord Trait= Adaptive Biology
-Broodlord with Mounstrous Rending Claws= 115pts
-Tyranid Prime (70pts) with Boneswords (2pts) and Deathspitter (5pts)= 77pt
TROOPS
-Tyranid Warriors x7 (126 pts) with Boneswords x7(14pts) with Deathspitter x5(25pts) and venom Cannon x2(24pts)= 199pts
-Hormagaunts x30= 150pts
-Hormagaunts x30= 150pts
-Genestealer x20 (200pts) with Rending Claws(40pts) ,Scything Talons x20 (0pts) and Acidic Maws x5(0pts)= 240pts
-Genestealer x20 (200pts) with Rending Claws (40pts), Scything Talons x20 (0pts) and Acidic Maws x5(0pts)= 240pts
BATTALLON DETACHMENT(Kronos)= 3CP
*Hivefleet Adaptation= Bio-Barrage
HQ
-Neurothrope with Claws and Teeth= 90pts
-Neurothrope with Claws and Teeth= 90pts
ELITE
-Hive Guard with Impaler Cannons x4= 172pts
-Hive Guard with Impaler Cannons x4= 172pts
TROOPS
-Ripper Swarm x3=33pts
-Ripper Swarm x3=33pts
-Ripper Swarm x3=33pts
TOTAL= 1964
-PSYCHIC POWERS
*Hive Tyrant with Catalyst , Synaptic Lure and Smite
*Broodlord with Smite and Catalyst
*Neurothrope 1 with Smite and Symbiostorm
*Neurothrope 2 with Smite and Symbiostorm
THE REASONING
I´ve always wanted to run a large horde style army so Im including Hormagaunts and genestealers blobs, for bullet sponging and damage dealing respectively. Kraken adaptation and stratagems to maximize mobility, Broodlord for hunting killing duty and Tyranid Warriors and Prime for addtional Synaptic&Fire Support. I geared the Tyrant to serve as a distraction and additional Anti-tank Support. Catalyst to provide some survivalvility
Neurothropes to babysit Hive Guard with Kronos adaptation and Symbiostorm to optimize the dakka.
The thing Im second guessing are:
A)Is the Tyrant a worthwhile invesment in a no-monster list? Should I ditch Chamaleonic Mutation for Resonance Barb?
Go full Dakkarant?
B)Should I ditch the Warriors for more Gaunts? The opposite?
C) Should I exchange Kraken Adaptation for Shwred Predators and Bio-metallic Cysts? Mobility vs Resilience and Killing Power
My gut tells me I should running more bugs, but my brain tells me I need those Impaler cannons...and perhaps I might need more guns. I really appreciate your take on this. My brother also gave a Genesealer Cults Codex for my Birthday recently so I guess I could have more optiosn there aswell, but I really wanted to run a pure Nid List.
Anyway thanks in advance.
