Hi.

I'm working at a 750 Point Tyranids allround list for our next escalation league step.

I'm really not sure what to take...

As a basis I want to use a Flyrant and a Harpy (or Hive Crone).

Now one critical thing is synapse. In my opinion there a 3 possibilities: Zoanthrophes (which are a little fragile, but also provide Anti-Tank and Buffs), Tyranid Warriors (a little bit more durable than Zoanthrophes and also Troop choices), Troop Tervigon (very expensive, but a MC and could produce additional Troops).

So, one List could be:
List 1:
Flyrant (2x TL Devourers) 230 Points
Zoantrophe 50 Points
30 Termagants 120 Points
Tervigon 195 Points
Harpy 135 Points
which sums up to 730 points. What to do with the 20 Points?

Or not taking a Tervigon but instead a Carnifex:
List 2:
Flyrant (2x TL Devourers) 230 Points
Venomthrophe 45 Points
21 Termagants 84 Points
3 Tyranid Warrioirs 90 Points
Harpy 135 Points
Carnifex (2x TL Devourers, Adrenal Glands) 165 Points
Total: 740 Points

Or maybe to go completely on flyers:
List 3:
Flyrant (2x TL Devourers) 230 Points
Zoantrophe 50 Points
17 Termagants 68 Points
3 Tyranid Warriors 90 Points
Harpy 135 Points
Harpy 135 Points
Biovore 40 Points (maybe left out the biovore and exchange the Harpies by Hive Crones?)
Total:
748 Points

Or something completely different?
I was also thinking about putting in 2 Carnifexes and a Prime Warrior instead of the Flyrant, but... Yeah... Flyrants are nice^^

Hopefully you could give me some advice

best regards
