So, since today is my birthday, I decided to sign up for my shop's escalation league, and our first month is 500 pts. I found out that someone also runs a competative necron flier list, so I figured I better suit up for something to survive, while keeping scoring units on the table. Now, before I get into my list, if anyone happens to know good tactics against the following types of armies, I am all ears.

Opposing Armies:
Grey Hunter Horde
Necron Arial Armada
Black Templars
Dark Angels Biker Bash
(^Same guy) All Terminator army?

Now, I am trying to make something fun, while still able to be a decent take all comer list, really.

My Tyranid Army:
1x Tyranid Prime with Adrenal Glands. Toxin Sacs, and dual Boneswords
3x Tyranid Warriors with Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs, and dual Boneswords.
16x Termagants
1x Carnifex with dual Scything Talons

Let the strategic advising commence!

This horror, this abomination, has thought and purpose that functions on an unimaginable, galactic scale and all we can do is try to stop the swarms of bioengineered monsters it unleashes upon us by instinct. We have given the horror a name to salve our fears; we call it the Tyranid race, but if is aware of us at all it must know us only as Prey."

I would probably try to focus on tervigons for these small point games. Get some mileage out of your most swingy unit and biggest tactical advantage. Long fangs will still be trouble though. Maybe just one tervigon at this point level and some other trick. 750 is when they can start being a little overwhelming. Carnifexes only really work with the devourers and even then are mediocre.

Warriors seem a little vulnerable to being exposed and shot to death before getting a job done in this list

It's just a show, I should really just relax... It's just a show, I should really just relax... It's just a show, I should really just relax... It's just a show, I should really just relax...

Unfortunetely, I do not have any Tervigons at the moment. I have been trying to avoid the Tervigon/Tyrannofex kit for a while until I figure out just how I want to build my anti armor section for my Tyranid army.
