NOTE: 3 warriors, 8 genestealers and the carnifex are assembled as from the deathstorm formation (intend to use the formation at higher points values - don't comment on these)
NOTE: hive tyrant not assembled yet, still open to feedback but I think the flyrant with devourers is a good option but still want opinions

TOTAL: 1179 points

Main questions:
What is this current selection good at dealing with? (I.e. strengths)
What are the main weaknesses and how can I fix those with my last 320 odd points?
What will be most important to include in a tyranid army that I have not included yet.

Cheers guys!

Not to bad, I think you can use the smaller parts seperate, so for a few extra points you can have the Spawn of Cryptus. It is good on its own. I would spend the 320 on the Heavy slots, a Mawloc is almost always a good one, and that leaves 180...?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
For the 180, I,d run a Dakkafex,and grab thorax hives on each Tyrant. Then find 5 points(drop a hormie) and put prefered enemy on the CC Tyrant.
