Yeah, so far they've been just utter fail for us whereas the T-Fex survives almost every game and while he doesn't always crush the enemy he is big time board control.

I am thinking about this list:

Tyranids 1750 Pts
Unit Description Size Cost
HQ
Flyrant Devourers x 2, Wings 1 230
Flyrant Devourers x 2, Wings 1 230

Troops
Termagants 30 120
Tervigon Regen 1 225
Termagants 10 40

Elites
Venomthropes 2 90

Fast Attack
Crone 1 155
Crone 1 155
Crone 1 155

Heavy Support
T-Fex 1 175
T-Fex 1 175

Totals 50 1750

Finally seeing how amazing the crones are... especially when you can get two or three on the board. It is the tyranid version of a heldrake except without torrent and an added addition of haywire.

My only recommendation is trying to fit another tervigon in there that way you can keep one backfield and move one up if needed. That also adds another caster in the mix as you currently only have 3. Lastly... biovores are amazing against tau and eldar the top 2 armies out right now.

**Dozer Blades**

I think Biovores are a must take in the current meta. They must have stable synapse to work though.

I still think that Nids will loose about any match up that involves Tau/Eldar/ Dark Eldar and Centurion/Grav bikers.

But yes there are certainly competitive builds to be made, altough it will be 1 or 2 and 3/4th of the codex will never be played.

I was super tired and forgot about my drop pod, doh! I was super tired and played poorly but, this shows us what the Nids CAN do when things go right. It was pretty devastating.

So we have another example of "The Tyranids can win if...", and then you get to roll ~~randomly~~ cinematically on a table:

1-2: ... the opposing player is really tired.
3-4: ... the opposing player makes some obvious mistakes.
5-6: ... the opposing player fails to show up for the game.

Your games aren't inspiring much confidence in my Bugs, Reece.

You can take the challenge. I'd love to see that video!

Awesome batrep, I'll have to show it to a friend who's been pretty down on his 'Nids as of late.

Also, I'm saving that "Lady luck just put the mushroom tip right on my face, she's a hermaphrodite y'know." as a sig at some point, made me spit tea all over my desk.
