Thanks to some time stuck in reading the Tyranid codex and battle reports from Shep and Somnicide, I decided to toss together my first-ever Tyranids list. I was going for an all-comers list, as my FLGS has a pretty good variety of armies, including the requisite bunches of SM's. Let me know your thoughts!

HQ
Swarmlord

Elites
Brood of 3 Hive Guard
Deathleaper
Brood of 3 Zoanthropes w/mycetic spore, t-linked deathspitter

Troops
Brood of 15 Termagants w/devourers
Brood of 15 Termagants w/devourers
Tervigon w/crushing claws, adrenal glands, toxin sacs, catalyst
Tervigon w/crushing claws, adrenal glands, toxin sacs, catalyst

Heavy
Trygon
Tyrannofex w/Rupture Cannon

Nothing too elaborate as far as the gameplan here...the majority of the army either advances or sits on objectives, while the Tervigons poop out Termagants that then use the Tervigon's adrenal glands and toxin sacs. When they're available from reserves (with the +1 from Swarmlord) the Trygon and the Zoats DS in and wreak havoc in the backfield.

Thoughts?

I think it looks pretty solid - Shep actually ran a list pretty close to that in a 2k fight against orks - check the batreps section.

Looks pretty good though, if you wanna proxy it some time maybe we can schedule a game.

Hey Som, if you don't mind playing against mostly plastic bases with little markers on them showing which units they are, I'm up for it.
