Hey all. Me and a buddy of mine are thinking about entering a 500pt team tournament at our FLGS.

The teams are drawn at random, so we probably won't be working together.

I run IG and was thinking about taking one of these:

Company Command Squad-175
-Plasma GunX4
-Chimera

Veteran Squad-185
-Meltagunx3
-Demolitions
-Chimera

Veteran Squad-140
-Flamerx3
-Chimera

Or

Primas Psyker-70

Veteran Squad-90
-3x Flamer
-Mortar

Veteran Squad-90
-3x Flamer
-Mortar

Basilisk-125

Basilisk-125

Which do you think would work out better? Is there anything you would change?

My friends also having troubles coming up with a 500pt Tyranid list, any suggestions?

I think your first list is good, although not sure about the demolition upgrade.

for the second, this would have you to trust your partner to take almost all objectives and him going in alone, because: 2 vetsquads without AV between them are easily wiped out. Plus it only takes 1 outflanking/deepstriking enemy to make a mess of your basilisks.

As for the Nid list i would suggest lots of gaunts/genestealers.

Yeah. Thanks for the advice.

The second list would have that problem, the vet squads are mostly there for meat shield. I just wanted to see my opponents face when I pull two Basilisks out in a 500pt game.

Lol, and after you deploy them, and see your opponents face scream overkill!!!!!
