I'll probably throw in some random upgrade to fill up the points. Comments?

What are you going to kit the Tyrant with in terms of wargear and psychic powers? I like the twin linked devourers with brain leech ammunition. It looks like Ancient Adversary might work well for your list. I'd definitely take paroxysm... It's awesome.

Also you posted the tournament is 1500 points but your list clocks in at almost 2000 points. I thought I should mention that little detail.

The only thing I am worried about for this list is simply that there are only 32 models in a 1500 point nid list. Do you need the primes for their lightning or synapse because otherwise why not add another genestealer squad for the cost of the three prime upgrades?

Yeah thanks. I just realized that now. I'll fix it to my actual 1500 list.

Lighting????

Need more troops. Consider 1 tervigon + termagants. Drop a trygon if you need to. Or you can take the tervie as a HQ.

BTW, you don't need that many primes. 1 is the most I would take.

My goal was to have an entire army that doesn't need synapse. As for troops, I thought I could get by without by just targeting their troops first if it's an objective battle.
