erm actually a carnifex is fearless so thats why he doesnt revert to instinctive behaviour...he passes all leadership tests automatically.

Also looking at your lists, I also prefer the 3rd. In only 750 points your opponent is going to be hard pressed to fight all your force, and you have a lot of threats on the board.

1 thing I might change though is the tyrant. Without giving him wings you could make him a cc monster.

Tyrant
2x scything talons
Toxin sacs
Extended carapace
Toxic miasma

130 something points. Frees up a few pts to give your other unit of stealers some upgrades. He makes a good counter unit. Say for example a daemon prince comes along. Your opponent will most likely destroy stealers first since they pose the biggest threat. The rest of your army doesnt really have the ability to take him out where he excels...cc. By taking the tyrant you ensure that if something big and scary in cc comes along you will have something to deal with it.

A tyrant with venom cannon I think just isnt as effective as a strangler fex. It can hit 3 times, but you actually have to roll to hit. Sure its strength 8 but I find that the stranger does the job just as well.

Only 1 word of warning, this could impare your firepower at this level. U could run a test game and see if it works or not.

@ Kirbinator - I just wanted to point out that a carnifex wouldn't be able to benefit from the +1 cover save from lurking.

The Tyranid codex says - "Lurking units that are not Monstrous Creatures add +1 to any cover save they may benefit from."

Doh, sorry, missed the part about MCs not getting +1 cover. Been a while since I had read that part, glad I haven't played as 'nids recently.
