500pts Tyranids vs. Ad. mech.

[ghostnids]

Greetings Hive

It's been a couple of editions since I last played WH40k, and this weekend I will be taking on one of my friends ad mech army in a friendly 500pts. game. Most of the batreps I've seen from this ed. are 1500-2000 games, and I wonder if 500 points isnt a little awkward. This is the list I'm thinking of running:


Kronos Patrole

HQ
-1 Neuropthope, warlord, catalyst, adaptive biology 95

Troops
-20 Termagants w/10 devourers, 10 fleshborers 120 ​
-3 Warriors w/ 3 scyting tallons, 2 devourers, 1 venom cannon 66
-3 Warriors w/ 3 sycting tallons, 2 devourers, 1 venom cannon 74

Elites
-3 hive guard w/impaler cannon 135
-----------------------------------------------
Total 498

Is this a terrible list? I'd love to hear your thoughts on how it could be improved.

My collection comprises 35 gaunts 45 gants, 35 genestealers, 2 broodlords, 6 raveners, 6 hivegurads, 8 warriors, 1 prime, 2 zoanthropes (proxyying for neuro would not be a problem if I was so inclined), flying hive tyrant, swarmie, 3 fexes, 1 lictor, 1 tryon (prime), 1 mawloc, 1 exocrine.

I'd go an 8 man blob of warriors with enhanced resistance. No idea what else to run with it: hive guard are eh at 3 man, and you don't want a big blob at 500 pts, but I'm not sure if you've got any good alternatives.

Thank you for your reply
What to do with the remaining 95 points? Give the warriors bs or bs/lw or fill in with 19 termagants as I've done here?: ​

Does the neuro make sense, or should I consider bringing a prime to buff my warriors instead?

Probably kit out the warriors a bit: deathspitters over devourers, mix of bs and bs+lw. Then yeah, more gaunts is fine. Neuro over prime: cat+smite>+1 to hit.

Got it! Thanks again
