Hey all,

I have been playing for a few years now and im starting up a Tyranid army for something a bit diffrent (and there are no other Tyranid armys were I play)

Hive Tyrent - 185
Lash Whip & Bonesword, TL devourer, Leach, Paroxysm

Elite:
3 x Hive Guard - 150
3 x Hive Guard - 150

Tervigon - 195
Adrenal Glands, Toxic Sacs, Catalyst

Fast:
17 Gargoyles - 102

Heavy:
Trygon Prime - 240

Total: 1747 points


Any advice/points would be welcome.

It sounds really good/fun actually. A nice combination of a moving horde and also alot of deep strikers.

The only things I would change would be to get rid of armored shell on the tyrant (nice but way to expensive), and id always take lash whip/bonesword over scything talons.
Cut the toxin sacs on all the termigaunts (these are ment to be cheap, so your tervigons can produce the better ones)
I would also chop all the upgrades on the gargoyles because there entire purpose in life is just to give your guys cover.

With these minor upgrades cut out of your list I would use the extra points to add a hive guard to each of your squads (3 squads of 3) or maybe have 2 squads of 3 Hive guard and a squad of zoanthroaps or Doom of malantai (this guy is pretty nasty). This will make your blob much better at shooting and will make people want to get near it, when they do get close...Hello outflanking genestealers and a deep striking trygon.

Playing tyranids is all about baiting your opponents....

Thanks, I have made some chances to the list and updated it.
