This list is something I was thinking about. Fewer kill points, more troops, and tougher tanks then usual. Will I get swamped?

-2xFarseers (RoWarding, RoWitness, Singing Spear, Doom)

-2X 10 Dire Avengers (Exarch, Bladestorm, Extra Shuri)

-2X Avenger Serpents (EML, Spirit Stones, Holo-Fields)

-6 Guardian Jetbikes (2 Shuri Cannons) + Warlock (Bike, Conceal, Singing Spear)

-2X 5 Fire Dragons

-2X Dragon Serpents (1 EML, 1 Shuri Cannon, 2 Spirit Stones)

-3X Fire Prism (Spirit Stones)

Total:1849

This list is based around survivable transports for troops and is roughly 46% troops. I tried to think about objectives, kill points, army composition, and about stuff I can paint well. The easiest kill points are Prisms and Fire Dragons but each of these (esp the Fire Dragons) are more then capable of taking at least one kill point to the grave with them. The rest should be rediculusly survivable with holo-fields and conceal+turbo-boost on the jetbikes.

Another option is to drop 2 bikes, the bike warlock, holofields, and switch one EML for a Shuri Cannon for 8 Striking Scorpions (exarch, Shadowstrike, biting blade).

Thoughts??

-Do you really need 2 doomseers, 1 should do the trick? If you want two, i don’t think you need both runes on both seers.
-You can’t have Holo-Fields on Wave Serpents

Curse you Buzz Lightyear!!

Thanks for pointing that out Nivoglibina. I input all the codex values into Excel and have been using that to play with lists. I should include a note that I can't take holo-fields. I guess its too good to be true.

I take 2 identical Seers because in my army fluff they're identical twins. I also find that Dooming 2 units per turn gives me lots more flexibility. What other psychic power would work better here? Fortune is not so good in transports, Mind-war also, and guide is sort of overkill when the unit is doomed and I'm bladestorming.

A fun note on taking 2 Runes of Warding: Ever have a Tyranid player dance a funny dance after killing a Farseer and finding out she had the runes. Then you pass his the list and he sees that the other one has it too. Priceless.
