HQ:
1 Hive Tyrant with Lash Whip + Bonesword, Stranglethorn Cannon, Adrenal Glands, Paroxysm and Leech Essence: 200 points.
2 Tyrant Guard: 120 points.
Elites:
3 Lictors (Yes, really!): 195 points.
The Doom of Malan,tai: 130 points.
Troops:
5 Tyranid Warriors, 4 with Deathspitters, 1 with Barbed Strangler: 180 points.
20 Hormagaunts with Toxin Sacs: 160 points.
20 Hormagaunts with Toxin Sacs: 160 points.
20 Hormagaunts with Toxin Sacs: 160 points.
Fast Attack:
4 Raveners with Devourers and Rending Claws: 160 points.
4 Raveners with Devourers and Rending Claws: 160 points.
15 Gargoyles: 90 points.
Heavy Support:
Mopsy-1 Trygon Prime: 240 points.
1 Biovore: 45 points.
The idea is that the Lictors creep in and guide in the Raveners, the Doom of Malan'tai, the Trygon Prime and the Gargoyles. The rest of the list is designed to soften up the foe for my Deep-Striking gribblies.
Feel free to hurl abuse at the list.

Nice to see a slightly different list for a change.
If you're going to go deep strike/spore, then why not go the whole hog? Get hive commander for the tyrant and this stacks with the +1 to reserves for the lictors.
Stick the warriors in a spore along with the doom. Drop the biovore as it doesn't seem to fit with the list. You could always go flyrant and drop the tyrant guard or even drop some hormogaunts for stealers as they get to outflank. Give outflank to one hormogaunt brood from hive commander and spore the the other one?
Every unit then deepstrikes, outflanks or spores in - nothing comes in from your own board edge. Not necessarily competitive but fun to play and you could really cause some mayhem. You do need to get into CC as soon as possible though as you're only anti-tank is tyrant, trygon and rending on the ravagers/lictors. You could always go the whole hog and have rending warriors and stealers as well!!
Enjoy.

Umm....The idea wasn't a full-on Deep Strike list. I can't put 2 units in the same Pod-afraid that's illegal. In any case, I wouldn't Deep Strike the Warriors-They're fire support units.
And the Biovore is just a points-filler.
Thanks for the positive feedback.

I meant buy another spore (one for each) - cheaper than the biovore. Death spitters only have 18" range, so you may as well get them in there!
