Was doodling around trying to make a 750 point list that doesn't have a Flyrant in :O simply because 240 is a lot of points to spend on model in small points games (even though the Flyrant is amazing).

What do y'all think?

HQ
Tyranid Prime
=125

Troops
Tyranid Warriors x3
-Barbed Strangler
=100

Termagants x20
=80

Fast Attack
Hive Crone
=155

Hive Crone
=135

Harpy
=135

Total = 750

General concept is to have Hive Crones and Harpy flying about shooting stuff. Not too fussed about Synapse since you can still Vector Strike with a Crone if it Feeds and you can simply maneuver a Harpy to kill an ideal target. Ld 10 also helps with Synapse The Termagants are going to shield the Warriors and give them a bit of cover while they sit back and shoot with the Prime attached to them.

Gonna keep doodling around and use units that I want to use

I personally think you're putting all your eggs in one basket with the flyers. One get unlucky with your reserve roles or I get a good alpha strike, you're gonna.

Idk about it personally.... I have been playing quite a few games and I have used the prime and believe him to be worthless... At that point range id go with larger number of Nids than big ones.

I usually end up doing:

HQ: Flyrant: TL Devourer W/ BLW , Thorax Hive

Troops: 20 Termagaunts
10 Hormagaunts
10 Hormagaunts
3 Warriors w/ Vennnom Cannon

Elite: 2 zoanthropes
1 Venomthrope.


If i am correct that SHOULD be a little under 750 with room to add.... I usually win against SW, IG, and CSM with it
