It's not bad, but I am not sure what you are looking for...

If you want to run a Zoey Brood of x3, add 25 points and try a Neuro? (sp?)

Personally I would lose the Hive Guard, and add more Carnifex, but that is a "style" thing...Twin Mawlocs are pretty rawking as well...

Hiya, thanks for your response - ill be having a 1850 tourney with some friends and new players in a few weeks and with all the new tyranid bits I just wanted a dust down and some thoughts on improvements.

I do have a third carnifex painted up as it goes - I love the hive guard models and the thought of troubling light walkers and transports etc as the main horde advances.

I didn't know if someone with more tyranid experience would know if this is too light on synapse..

Synapse seems ok. Hive guard are 55pts each so you are over by 15. Venoms are 45 pts so only 90 pts for 2.I would put E Grubs on your tervigon if you are outflanking him. Essential for vehicle and hidden units. I would swap the venomthropes for a malanthrope if you play with forgewold approved models. Adds more synapse too.

30 gaunts with 5 devourers is 140pts. I'd look your points again as I noticed 3 errors at quick glance. Especially since it is for a tournament you want to be sure your points are perfect.

Noticed flyrant too, should be 260 for dakka flyrant with HC

Malenthrope may be a good call - not seen one in use before but works well on paper certainly.

A Flyrant with HC & devourers is 250 in hindsight but I get your point, was being approx for the sake of some feedback.

Malenthrope is heading on the list! Do you know which IA book the rules are in at all?
