So I am new to the forums and was trying to find the most competitive tyranid army when I found several "Tervigon builds". I was intrigued and decided to make a 1000 pt list in accord with my local stores 1000pt mini-tournament. Please it would be great if people helped me improve it as it is all theory for now and I still have to go and buy all the termies I will need. TY.

Restrictions for these events are:
No Armor 14 can be fielded.
No Special Characters unless they make your army work.
Only 1 HQ, 1 Elite, 1 Fast Attack and 1 Heavy choices can be taken.
1000 Point Army List
90 Minute Time Limits.

So, I have therefore decided on this army list:

HQ
Tervigon w/scything talons, toxin sacs - 175

Troops
Tervigon w/onslaught - 175
Tervigon w/catalyst - 175
Tervigon w/catalyst - 175
Termagaunts x10 - 50
Termagaunts x10 - 50
Termagaunts x10 - 50

Elites
Hive Guards x3 - 150

Total: 1000pts

Please post any comments or critisism you have.
Thank you,

Your termies are going to be pie plated, rapid fired and flamed to kingdom come!

I like the army as a whole and can see it has good points; multiwound objective holders; back field heavies and an endless supply of shootie termies.

I think the main thing I worry about here is that you havent got enough mobile heavy fire power. If for example, your opponent destroys your hive guard in the first couple of turns, his vehicles then pretty much have free reign to shoot your stuff as long as he keeps your Tervigons at arms length. However, given the general size of GW tables, your Tervigons should have something in range to charge. :-)

Good luck!

Maybe give a tervigon onslaught to put on hive guard to better getinto range. And more hive guard would be better for anti tank.

Thanks for the help everyone, keep the ideas coming!

Drop a Tervigon for Genestealers is my suggestion. They make for good objective contesters/grabbers and can outflank always a good time. You could also be ballsy and go for the Ygrmial Genestealers as they can appear from inside terrain peices, good for getting the dev squads in the back or multi-assaulting the parking lot.

Thanks for the suggestion, I think that the stealers will help alot. Here is a new list:

HQ
Tervigon w/scything talons, toxin sacs - 175

Troops
Tervigon w/onslaught - 175
Tervigon w/catalyst - 175
Termagaunts x13 - 65
Termagaunts x10 - 50
Genestealers x8 w/scything talons and adrenal glands
+ 1 Broodlord w/scything talons and adrenal glands - 217

Elites
Hive Guards x3 - 150

Total: 992pts

Once again, keep the advice comin!
