My list and comments on each but first note:
- Some GK have protection v Psyker attacks
- GK have a really annoying ability to drop back in to reserves if they have the deep strike rule (most do) "in your turn"
- Watch for apothecaries who can bring back one dead unit member per turn
Parasite - didnt get to do anything, I tried to get him and a lictor into melee but the GK would teleport away. Lone operator was really handy to keep it safe as well.
2x Biovores - these were really effective for few points. Great range and staying still to get +1 BS with D3 hits doing devastating wounds. Also used them to block some objectives (though easily shot off mines, but if they are shooting mines they are not shooting something else)
Haruspex - chased a couple units down who teleported away, but when did get in melee it was lethal and wiped a unit out pretty quickly. Also the high toughness made it tough to hurt with standard shooting
2x lictor - sadly didnt get to do much this game, though I did use rapid ingress to take a table quarter for a secondary. Lone operator helped one keep out of shooting.
Maleceptor - didnt get to do a great deal but when it did, it hit like a truck with its psychic overload
Trygon - hard to bring in safely and gets hurt under shooting, managed to keep it alive but down to 4 wounds before it got to charge. But when it did get in melee, it wiped out a terminator squad in two turns
Zoanthropes - I lost a unit of 3 early on to shooting, but the second squad took out a DreadKnight with some focussed witchfire shooting.
In the end, opponent called at at the end of the third and I won 21-11. Another thing was I didnt have enough synapse to make use of stratagems (other than some basic rerolls) as the Tyranid ones are better when in synapse range.
