Tyranids - 1500 Arks of omen list suggestions

[eltharynd]

Hello there,

I havn't played since 7th and i'm recently back to the hobby..

Can you guys please help me making this list draft better?
I know I'd like to remove the neurothrope and put 3 zoanthropes instead but i'm not sure what to remove for the extra 40 points.

Suggestions?

Plan is:

-tyrant + guard sit on an objective
-exocrine sits on another
-parasite + goyles fly to a third one

-rest of army sees what it can do...

Well.
A: Zoans after the price bump are overcosted for the datasheet, I dunno about taking with so little to benefit (imperative's still very good of course, but...), especially by dropping a neuro.
B: HVC on a harpy. There's a pile of points.

Soul hunger is a very mediocre trait, take adaptive bio. Dual boneswords are now overcosted, 5 pts for +1 A over lw&bs when those also give rr 1s is really not worth.

Probably some other general stuff (secondaries, gameplan etc), but I'll just post this for now.

Kronos has an amazing relic (Null Node), I’d try to fit it in. Since Null Node is command phase, you can also put the WLT Synaptic Linchpin on the character with Null Node to extend the range to 15” ( or +3” off link range).

Have you tried it? I was thinking about it when I was playing Kronos, but while the no rrs is really strong, the 12" command phase on my turn turned me off so hard. Either they haven't engaged yet (in which case staying out of link will usually be easily achievable) or they have, in which case I'll usually just want to kill them and they'll often not have rrs anyway.

Since Null Node is command phase, you can also put the WLT Synaptic Linchpin on the character with Null Node to extend the range to 15” ( or +3” off link range).

Debatable it has any interaction, what that interaction is if it exists, and even best case ruling questionable worth full stop to be honest (it's not like that's a good WLT in general).
