Hey guys new member here and I just created a 500 point army list for a tyranid army I'd like to start. Tell me how you think of it.

HQ
Hive Tyrant with Wings, Bone swords and Lash Whip, Twin linked devourers, and Regeneration..............245 points

Troops
10 termigaunts...............................................................................................................................................................50 points
10 termigaunts...............................................................................................................................................................50 points
10 hormagaunts.............................................................................................................................................................60 points

Elites
1 Zoanthrope with Synapse..........................................................................................................................................60 points

I also have this list which I would also like advice for.

HQ
Tyranid Prime with a pair of boneswords and scything talons, toxin sacs, and adrenal glands.................................................110 points

Troops
3 Tyranid Warriors with a pair of boneswords and scything talons, and toxin sacs.......................................................................135 points
Tervigon with catalyst, onslaught..............................................................................................................................................................190 points
13 termigaunts..............................................................................................................................................................................................65 points

I think your second list looks a lot more promising - you can spawn gaunts, and the enemy has 2 monstrous creatures to deal with instead of just one.

Yeah, I'd agree. I doubt my first army has enough synapse.

Add the TS to your Tervigon, and the termagants get it, too, maybe lose from the warriors, or lose the AG from the Prime.

An interesting list, hopefully the Warriors will have better chance of survival in a low point game, and hopefully you'll be playing on a smaller boards as you have little mobility and no ranged weapons.

How should I enhance my army's mobility? Perhaps I can get some rippers to deepstrike the enemy and lock em into close combat. I also plan on putting guns on the warriors what should I get for them.
