Using the new Tyranid Detachment and trying to decide which of two very similar builds is better, both use the Skytyrant Swarm and a Shrouded bonus to advance across the board for the first couple of turns. One is more shooty (2 Exocrines) the other is more choppy (2 Dimachaeron) otherwise the differences are extra electroshock grubs on the Tyrants and upgrading the Venomthrope to a Malanthrope.

Neither are legal. The Leviathan whose-a-what's-its, don't remember the name, requires three troops minimum.

Their is a mucolid spore in each, forogt to write it in will add shortly.

With the correction...I like list two better...I just plain consider Electro grubs mandatory, and I don't know if Dimes can really function vs all comers... I do normally suggest looking at a LAN when ever I see two Exocrenes though...

I'm only allowed 2 detachments in the event I'm practising for ATM, sadly.
