My friend and I are thinking of going to a battle brothers tournament. We are trying to decide between two possible lists.

List 1:
3 Flyrants 2x Twinlinked Devourers, Electrochcok Grubs (One tyrant doesn't have grubs),
3 Mucolids,
Venomthrope

Twice, for 6 flyrant goodness.

OR

List 2:
Ultramarines Half Company with traditional weapons load out and plenty of booze.

One will win games, but no favourite game votes, the other will lose all the games, but many people will find it a laugh.

Help us decide which to take.

Reading that post it seems the real question you should ask is do you want to win or make people laugh?

Whichever you think you'll have more fun with.

I'm a Nid player, but I would bring Smurfs

Hmm
Take the marines and have red scorpions as allies
Make sure the HQ in the red scorpions is sevrin loth
Because sevrin loth=insta win (2+/2++ ML3 psyker who can pick his powers? yes please!)

Depending on missions, marines can even have an upper hand.

But for what it's worth, flyrant spam nids are extremely boring to play against - win or lose.

you don;t under estimate ultramarines. I assume from how you describe it you'll be running a captain, 3 tatc squads a assault squad and a devestator squad? depending on the points you have and the support assists you will have... that's not nesscarily gonna be BAD (swap out the devestators for centurions and you're in a pretty solid spot.

Opinions are not facts please don't confuse the two

This. If it's Eternal War, then Nids should cope well except in the Relic mission. If it's Maelstrom, you have almost no ground force (and no Mucolids don't count) to score Objectives and you will lose, bar tabling.
