Taking a 1000 point Tyranid list to vs. a Tau list.

The List looks like this so far:

HQ
1 Tervigon-Catalyst, Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs, Cluster Spines
195 points

Troop
1 Tervigon- Catalyst, Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs, Cluster Spines
195 points

10 Termagants, 1 upgraded with Strangleweb
60 points

Heavy Support
1 Trygon
200 points

1 Trygon
200 points

I have about 850 points, so 150 points to spare on 3 Hive Guards.

I was wondering what would be the better set up with them, 3 in one brood (taking up one FOC), or splitting them up so they can target different units?

I would say split them up, so they can hit multiple targets.

Ya, take 3, this way if 1 winds up assaulted, the other two can get well out of range of the assault.

Three Broods so you can shoot more stuff.

Drop the Strangleweb and give one of the Trygons Adrenal Glands.
