Synaptic nexus help requested.

[shotgun19]

I have the Tyranid half of the leviathan box and a Norn Emissary. I am trying to build a 1000pt synaptic nexus army with the following:
1x11neurogaunts merged with neurotyrant
1x20 termigaunts
2x3 zoanthropes
I can't decide the rest

Don’t run the Neurotyrant with the gaunts, it drops the Tyrant’s toughness to 3 and it can get sniped out of the unit fairly easily with precision.

Power of the Hive Mind enhancement should be on the Neurotyrant.

Adding a Hive Tyrant for advance & shoot is always a good option and is a durable unit with the -1 damage enhancement.

Norn Emmissary is a great option at 1000 pts; a 16W T11 model with 2+(0+ with cover and strat)/4++/5+++ and OC 15 is tough to deal with.

Malceptors make great use of the strats and detachment abilities.

Neurolictors and Mawlocs are good for forcing more battle shock tests to toss out mortal wounds.

Never attach a Neurotyrant to Neurogaunts.

Just a reminder for everyone - a model/unit with the Precision rule needs to have Line of Sight to the Character model in order to use the rule. If you can hide away the Neurotyrant you're good even if they have LoS to the Neurogaunt unit.
It's still a bad idea to have the Neurotyrant with the Neurogaunts because of the wound overflow from bodyguard to the attached character.

Thanks for the advice!

Everyone specialising in 3d printing warhammer models will have files for the tails and chests for this kit. As well as torsos for the Tyrant
