New Player - Help me with 1000p Army List

[fisher]

Hello,

I've been only painting minis so far. Many of my friends started playing Wh40 lately and I wanted to always learn the game. I have some minis bought and painted but I have no idea about the game yet. I watched few battle reports for Tyranid armies. I was looking for some lineups on YouTube, forums that I could edit and with lower effort insert my models into it. The one that caught my attention was found on Reddit and I really loved it:


www.reddit.com/r/Tyranids/comments/yqt1jt/comment/ivw8sau/

++ Total: [46 PL, 1,000pts, 4CP] ++




But when I tried to put it into BattleScribe it said that this army is actually would cost actually 1100 points not 1000... Also I can't find Warlord Trait: Synaptic Tendrils for Neurothrope for some reason - there is only Inspiring Leader available:




Could you please help me to make some edits to the lineup so it's still 1000p army? My friends will be teaching me how to play and we will do some mock battles on Wednesday, I wanted to prepare something

To pass on advice from others, for literally first game just put together a 500 pts list (doesn't need to be good, HQ, troop, some other stuff you like). But...

Because points have been updated since.

Also I can't find Warlord Trait: Synaptic Tendrils for Neurothrope for some reason - there is only Inspiring Leader available:

It's a Tyranid Warlord Trait, see just above

Depends what you have (unless it's TTS/borrowing anything or something). But zoans got very expensive, as did that warrior load out (the 'go to' is now dev+lw&bs, maybe throw in a venomc cannon. Only 10 pts more than what's listed there, rather than the 30 pts more that it'd actually be now, while also being better than double scy tals). Otherwise, screamer-killer stuff is pretty unneeded outside maybe AG.

Thanks for the response
Well, I have some models already. Not everything is painted but money is not a problem. For the setup I've listed I planned to buy Malecepto, Exorcine and another box of Zoanthropes because I need 1 more

What I have right now:
- 24 Termagants
- 23 Genestealers
- 3 Tyranid Warrior (currently magnetizing them)
- 2x Zoanthrope
- 1x Neurothrope
- 1x Trygon/Mavloc (to be glued yet)
- 1x Broodlord
- 1x Carnifex (to be glued)
- Around 16x Ripper Swarms
- 3x Tyrand Guard/Hive Guards (to be magnetized)
- Hive Tyrant (to be glued and magnetized)

So I thought that if I bought the Exorcine and Maleceptor I'd basically have that lineup as on Reddit. I saw Exorcines performance in one of battle reports and I thought it's great.
