Hi everyone.

I started out recently with 40k and am in doubt on what to add to my army next.

I play tyranids and have bought 2 boxes and a Hive tyrant and a Tervigon.
so this is what i have :

40 termegants (fleshborer)
40 hormagaunts
10 gargoyles
4 ripper swarms

1 Hive tyrant
1 Tervigon
2 Carnifex

1 Broodlord
8 Genestealers

Since im still a beginner i dont know what to add to my collection next.
I have been thinking about the Zoanthrope/Venomthrope box with 3 models but then again i dont know which of the 2 i should build.

I would like to hear your feedback

Thanks in advance

Zoanthropes are excellent units, and will help with their powers. Venomthropes are awesome because they make your units so much more survivable and are also excellent units. While they units with a model within six inches is a huge force multiplier and will give your units the extra save to make it to combat.

Those two are awesome and I suggest picking up a couple zoanthropes and a venomthrope. After that, maybe a Mawloc or two. Their Terror From the Deep is an amazing rule that will strike fear into your opponents and force them to make moves they might not normally make.

Thank you i will indeed buy the box of 3 thropes and then i will build 1 venom and 2 zoans i think that is indeed the best way to go from here

I agree completely, z and v are both too useful to not have, and I personally love Mawlocs but I know not many people use them, but the models are awesome. A few flyrants are always good, and I've not played since they came out with it but that new tyranid spore pod may be worth it, I used to use the tyranid drop pods in last codex plenty.
