Anything marked with Stars has a Mycetic Spore with a Venom Cannon

Thoughts and Comments?

Honestly, gaunts in spores is a cool idea, but I would take them plaino, or swap the same points cost into more Devgants. Not being able to assault out of the pod is a huge liability, and rapid fire bolters would really cause a lot of point loss. Devgants cost the same, with the same problem, but at least get to shoot (and well!) before they die.

Drop the venom cannons as well, especially with bunched up horde units coming out of them. The spore sucks at shooting. Really, really badly. You'll most likely vaporize the hormogaunts, who would be attacking the nearest thing, right?

Lictors are a problem because they have to start in reserve, and honestly I just hate them. Take a swarmlord in addition to your hive tyrant and hold everything in reserve. 2+ on turn 2 for everything. Guaranteed. Plus, an additional Paroxsym, and you can give preferred enemy to another unit within 18".

2X scytal on the tyrant? Really? Why? keep the lashwhip and bonesword. He's re-rolling anyway. Might as well reroll FIRST and be able to ID things. Its free, and its not like you can reroll twice.

Warriors should get Lashwhip/bonesword and devourers. Again, you can't assault with them, so you might as well have some shooting utility. Plus, you're going to get shot at and then assaulted. Wouldn't it feel great if the opponent got to attack last, with you taking out a few more models before they do? It would. It would feel awesome.

Gargs are scary as hell. Gargs with preferred enemy AND toxin sacs? By the scotum of Thor, Batman!

You might want to add some Harpies. I know, I know. Everyone says they are trash. But a 36" strength 9 twin linked gun is crazy fun and provides some of the best anti tank Tyranids have to offer.


Good luck and have fun. Remember to let them have first turn if you win the roll. Because them driving around for 2 turns with their thumbs up their bums with nothing to do is funny, and spreads them out for easy digestion.

More and more, this is the same advice one should take for Dark Eldar.

Why is that Dark Eldar Advice?

Your only problem with this list is against me :-)

my 1750pts as you know has 3 land raiders full of berzerkers and Kharn for another 750pts i'd take 2 squads of berzerkers in rhino's and 3 twin linked heavy bolter and heavy flamer combo dreadnoughts. You would struggle against any armour.

you only have your tyrant and lictors who stand any chance of getting through armour.

I would reccomend dropping something to fit in a spore carnifex or trygons just to help with armour.

Go all Reserve ... when not winning First Turn. Eh, nevermind, that'd be hijacking the thread.

Armor is going to be a problem for nids no matter what. At a 2500 point event or game you will more than likely run into at least 1 list with 2, if not more, Land Raiders. With marines being the most prevalent codices played you really need to address how you are going to deal with those armies. You may not need to destroy the Land Raiders with shooting but you'll have to make sure the few units you do have that can harm the tanks get to them FAST.
