So Daboyz GT has FOC restrictions. I will detail them briefly so you can direct your criticism thoughtfully:

1850, allies permitted, all fortifications allowed
Cannot take more than 2 of any unit outside troop section, and if a unit can be taken in multiple sections 0-2 still applies (bike troops are excepted from this)
Cannot take more than 4 fliers (including FMCs) or more than 4 of the same dedicated transport.
Cannot take more than 2 of the same herald of a god. (bye bye screamerstar)

LIST 1: Tau+Tau

Primary Detachment: Farsight Enclaves

Farsight
O’Vesa

Riptide: HBC, SMS, Velocity Tracker, Target Lock, Talisman of Moloch- 230

Crisis suit: Bonded, Twin-linked Missile Pod- 43
Crisis suit: Bonded, Twin-linked Missile Pod- 43
Crisis suit: Bonded, Twin-linked Missile Pod- 43
Crisis suit: Bonded, Twin-linked Missile Pod- 43
Crisis suit: Bonded, Twin-linked Missile Pod- 43
Crisis x3: Bonded, x3 Twin-linked Missile Pods- 129

Skyray: Blacksun Filter- 116

Secondary Detachment: Tau Empire

Crisis Commander: Iridium Battlesuit, Multi-spectrum Suite, Command and Control Node, Puretide Engram Chip, Neuroweb System Jammer, Onager Gauntlet, Vectored Rectro-thrusters, x2 Flamers- 182

Firewarriors x6: Devilfish (SMS)- 144
Firewarriors x6: Devilfish (SMS)- 144

Broadsides x3: Shas’vre, x3 EWO- 220

Total: 1850

This list may seem a little weird. Wait…FIREWARRIORS IN DEVILFISH?! What is this 3rd edition?! I know everyone loves Kroot, but these guys give me a resilient scoring option that can zoom around the board and SMS things for me until it’s time to plop on an objective. Other than that anomaly, it’s a pretty standard O’veastar. Thoughts?

LIST 2: Tyranids

Hive Tyrant: Wings, x2 Twin-linked Brainleech Devourers, Hive Commander- 285
Hive Tyrant: Wings, x2 Twin-linked Brainleech Devourers- 260

Doom of Ma’lantai: Mycetic Spore- 130
Ymgarl Genestealers x5: 115
Hive Guard x3- 150

Tervigon: Catalyst, Onslaught, Dominion, Toxin Sacs- 200
Tervigon: Catalyst, Onslaught, Dominion, Toxin Sacs- 200

Termagaunts x10- 50
Termagaunts x10- 50

Trygon: Toxin Sacs- 210
Trygon- 200

Total: 1850

This list is simple. Anything that isn’t a Tervigon or Termagant rushes forward as fast and as far as it can to overload the opponent while things that score chill behind LOS and poop on objectives. Purge the Alien is a tough mission for this list, and depending on opponent, could be auto-lose. But, PTA isn’t until Round 5 at Daboyz, so if I do well until then, I may be able to weather that.

The nid list looks quick if a lil light on bodies but a trygon with toxin is 210 points

I think both lists look very solid the tau list looking like the stronger of the two.

I run very similar tyranid lists so know for a fact that you should do pretty well competiting not sure bout winning since that depends on who you face

Exalted! Thanks guys; oh yeah I paid for the toxin I just forgot to change the price. I think I'll go with the tau only because I think Itll be easier to finish games. If those tervigons don't get constipated it can add a lot of time to the game.
