OK here is the list I'm thinking of 2k points worth

HQ:

2Tyranid primes (dual boneswords, deathspitter, Regen ): 190 points


Elites:

2x3 man/model Hiveguard units: 300 points
3 man/model Zoanthrope unit: 180 points


Troops:

2x5 man/model Warriors units (4 death spitters and a Barbed strangler): 360 points
2x4 man/model Warriors units (3 death spitters and a Venom cannon): 300 points
2x20 model Termagaunt units (all toxin sacs in case assaulted): 240 points


Fast Attack:

20 model Gargoyle unit (with adrenal glands and toxin sacs): 160points


Heavy Support:

Trygon (Prime upgrade and regen): 265 points


Total: 1995 Points

Well guys what do you think? be honest

I don't think the termagaunts should have toxin sacks, and having only a single trygon is a pretty good way to get it killed first turn.
I like the idea conceptually, I just think you are reaching a bit. I think as a 1500pt army, it would be far more effective, basically trimming down the trygon, gargoyles and toxin sacks.

Hmmm... Looks pretty decent. I would recomend trading the Termagant Units for 22 Termagants with Devourers. They have a lot more firepower.

Also, your math is off with the Primes. 2 Outfitted the way that you have listed would cost 210pt. My suggusted changes to the Termagants would incorporate these points.

Your list is strongly shooting oriented. For that reason, I do not think that a lone Trygon would do much. Also, because you have a lot of Synapse, I think the Prime upgrade is definately redundant. I have two suggustions of other ways you could spend the points:

If you really want the Counter-Assault, I would suggust a unit of 6 Tyranid Warriors with Duel Boneswords, Devourers and Toxin Sacks.

If you want heavier shooting, I would recommend 6 Biovores, for some amazing anti-horde abilities. I would recomend 3 units of 2.

Hope this helps a bit!

hmmm I will keep that in mind
