Tyranids Vs Guard | Testing tourney Lists

[tylertt]

Hey Hive, had a chance to get a match in against a good friend's Guard list.

I've been trying out Levi & Kronos the past while with Zoeys and it has performed well in my local area. The big thing im considering is swapping the Zoeys for a 2nd Dima and 10 Horms. I know at that point Kraken may be better off, but I've found Levi helps mitigate T1 damage and just having that one or few wounds saved has made a difference for me.

It was a brutal guard list, but a great match right to the end.

Good playing to get back after that T1!
I really think you should try ”killing your darling” and go Kraken if you have swarmlord and a flyrant and definately of you bring a Dima. Beeing able to fallback and charge is huge in a game like this. Plus the zooanthropes don’t need the 6+++, they never die anyway, right?

Thanks for watching!

Yeah the way its looking is that Kraken would bring a lot more to the table. My second Dima has just hit the painting table, so the Zoeys may get cut for the Dima + 10 Horms. The one thing for me is that I always have like 1-2 models or wounds saved that keep a unit sitting there for me, which annoyingly to my opponent has made all the difference haha. But its definitely not something I can completely control in comparison to Kraken movement.
