Hey guys so I have been playing tyranids a long time now. They are doing really good this edition despite having a 5th codex still. Although the last couple games I have played have been 1500, I play two flyrants in my 1500 list, and the last couple games they have sucked, one game they were both off the board turn one, next time they were both killed by a space marine chapter master. My question is how are your feelings about flyrants, the list I run is below.

2x Flyrant w/
wings
2x TL BL Devours
Biomancy Rolls
AD/TS

2x Tervigon w/
3 Biomancy Rolls
AD/TS

2x 10 Termagants

2x 3 Hive Guard
1x Doom w/ Pod
or 3x 3 Hive Guard (take the TS/AD off a model, run this no more friendly games)

Flyrants are strong, but you don't need to give them AD/TS. Drop those for other stuff.

4 MC's, with 2 flying, plus the Doom is a really competitive tyranid build, especially at 1500. I wouldn't take this list against a casual opponent. This type of list is reserved for the more competitive opponents or your friends.
