Hello all! My friend has been playing a new army; Tyranids. I have never been able to beat him with Chaos Daemons yet. With the high reliance on psyker powers, Shadow in the Warp ruins me. As someone who plays an army of Chaos Undivided (Tzeentch, Slaanesh, Nurgle, and Khorne), what tactics would you all use to beat Tyranids?

For now I just focus on running big blobs of daemonettes, khorne dogs w. heralds kitted out w. grimoire (ensured by the Fateweaver). Such a powerful amount of threats never did me wrong and a daemonette blob with rending can take down any tyranid CC monstrosity swiftly. And as an added value they are pretty difficult to get focussed down by biovores if you spread out your models all the way.

The only problem I have with nids are dual flyrants with devourers. I usually employ a slaaneshi DP w. that whip gift. A vector + shooting with the whip = a very wounded flyrant.
