Subject: 1500pt nid gunline. For use in an RTT

So this will be the first time I try this list, or anything like it. Tried to make it as much of a gunline as possible:
HQ
Tyranid Prime
Lashwhips and Bonesword
Regenerate
Adrenal Glands
Deathspitter
ELITES
3x Hive Guard
3x Hive Guard
2x Zoanthropes
TROOPS
15x Guants w/ devourers
1x Tervigon w/ Catalyst
HEAVY SUPPORT
1x Tyrannofex w/ Rupture Cannon
Cluster Spines
Thorax Swarm: Dessicator Larvae
1x Carnifex w/ 2x TL brainleech devourers
1x Carnifex w/ Stranglethorn cannon
Troops are the weak point. Gonna try and keep them alive with cover saves and the like, though I feel if anyone focusses on them too much it will mean a lot of return fire. Any thoughts?

I think you should drop your strangle carnifex to get more troops

^ Agreed, and also while gun-line isn't our strong suit, I suggest 2xBrain-leech Devourers on your Tyrant. Either that or Devour/Deathspitter combo.

Mattieu~~~~ It's not that eldar are bad, it's that they require a lot of intergration between units. Also, that doesnt prove anything other than GW has a huge hard-on for marines, and, given the option between making a xeno the best psykers or making a marine the best psyker, they will 9 times out of 10 choose the marine.

???I'm not using a tyrant. Will be giving the list a test run today. You guys may be right about the stranglefex. If it looks bad when I play I will get some more troops in there...what would you suggest? I would like more dakkagaunts, but that's out for me since I'm up to my proxy limit and I don't have the time to get them ready.
Any other troops choice I have in abundance.

Hive guards are cool, zoanthropes and tyranofex is not. You do only need one of them even at 1750 unles you are in a landraider heavy envioerment. Zoanthropes are better, but has a short range, so by the time they can fire it is to late. Ditch them and grab a nother hive guard (divide them aruound a bit.) And also get the one that shoots the spore mine. He is cheap but very good vs horde, SW (long fangs) and a lott of things. :-)

I can't proxy any more models, so I can't add a biovore or more hive guard since that's all I have. Zoanthropes are in there not so much for their guns, but for synapse. Should also help take some pressure off the HG, Tervigon and T-fex.
Like I said I'm gonna be running it as a gunline so I need a variety of different guns to deal with each kind of opponent I may face. Large blasts, S10, devourers...all are needed I think.
