Trying to make a list for my son who is getting into the hobby. I've seen people recommend the prime as an HQ choice, would he fit in best with the Hormagaunts or Genestealers?

Tyranid Prime -Pair of Boneswords -Adrenal Glands 100

Hive Guard x2 100

Tervigon -Catalyst -Cluster Spines free -Toxin Sacs185
Termagauntsx15 -Devourer -Toxin Sacs 165
Termagauntsx15 -Devourer -Toxin Sacs 165
Hormagauntx19 -Toxin Sacs 152
Hormagauntx19 -Toxin Sacs 152
Genestealersx7 -Broodlord -Scything Talons (BL Only) -Toxin Sacs 167

Trygon -Adrenal Glands 210

The Prime will not have fleet, so in the Hormagaunt unit or the Genestealer unit he would slow them down. He is better suited to join a Termagant unit. He moves at the same speed and can give a slight edge in combat.

The Hormagaunts feel a little out of place in this list as the will be too fast for either Synapse creature to keep up with. This will allow them to be "rage" baited quite easily with something they cannot fight, such as a vehicle of any sort.

Just a thought though.
