Me and my friends are going to a team tournament with high focus on lore and fun army/team composition. If the codex drop before the tournament in october we think of going with 4 tyranid lists, each representing (more or less) a stage from a tyranid invasion. While going mostly for a lorewise correct approach I still want the lists to have a degree of synergy and competitivness while being different from each other, so I want help from the hive to make these lists as good as possible in both these senses!
The lists:
Reconnaissance 1235pts
1x Broodlord (synaptic lynchpin)
3x10 genestealers
2x1 lictor
2x1 trygon
1x3 von Ryan leapers
Infestation 1250pts
2x1 tervigon (1 adaptive biology)
2x10 hormagants
2x10 termagants
4x20 termagants
1x11 neurogants
1x3 venomthropes
1x3 zoanthropes
Assault 1245pts
1x hive tyrant (perfectly adapted)
1x old one eye
1x2 carnifex
2x1 carnifex
1x screamer killer
1x5 barbgaunts
2x3 tyranid warriors (ranged)
Subjugation 1240pts
1x the swarmlord
1x psychophage
3x3 ripper swarms
3x1 tyrannofex
1x3 tyranid warriors (melee)
1x3 tyranid warriors (ranged)
I am limited by the amount of models I own, the ones not in use so far is:
1x Neurotyrant
1x Winged Prime
20x Gargoyles
10x Hormagants
1x Tyrannocyte
30+ Genestealers
6x Hive guard w impalers
1x3 Tyranid Warriors
1x Lictor
1x3 Raveners
1x3 Ripper swarms
Also the trygon is able to transform into a mawloc if wanted.
Questions so far:
Is it ok with trygons in the Reconnaissance stage? Supposedly they are deployed early to plant seeds for the capillary towers, but maybe a 3rd lictor + gargs and a new psychic lictor/more leapers would be more accurate? Also thinking of a mycetic spore packed with something could be okay to mark the beginning of the actual attack.
Tervigons in infestation stage ok? I know the big bugs are supposed to come later, but it make the list much more fun and better to play. As long as it is not totally forbidden I would like to keep them here.
Lore and gameplan discussions are both welcome!
If there appears to be a crucial flaw or if I someone comes up with a cool idea I might be willing to buy a few extra models to make it work, preferably among the new releases if they come out in time.
