Hey mates,

Still pondering on a fun but effective Tyranids list. I want MC's and I want a list that offer tactical flexibility; in other words: movement, deep strike, infiltrate and outflank options. I know that standard 'good' Tyranid-lists will feature large blocks of Genestealers/Gargoyles/Hormagants etc. And I know Im hampering myself by sticking to my format, however it should be possible to build a list that is as good as possible given the constaints.

Here we go:

270 Hive Tyrant, Twin Brainleech Devourers, Lash Whip/Bonesword, Hive Commander, Wings, Leech Essence, Paroxysm

160 2 Zoanthropes, Mycetic Spore
115 5 Ymgarl Genestealers

153 9 Genestealers, Toxin Sacks
50 10 Temagants
175 Tervigon, Catalyst, Cluster Spines

140 4 Raveners, Rending Claws

170 Mawloc
200 Trygon
265 Tyranofex, Rupture Cannon, Cluster Spines

1698 points

Thoughts?

For starters, most play is at 1750 not 1700 - so 50 point to play with.

AG and toxin on the tervigon. AG on the trygon.

That tyrant is expensive and being the only flying unit in the list he will be looking vulnerable. I would either look to run gargoyles or shrikes in the FA slot to give him some help or drop the wings.

Not sure how you do it without messing the list up, but I really think you need to fill that 3rd elite slot at 1,750.
