So I was wondering what a Tryanid list might look like if I focused on melee, and specifically Dimachaerons. In making the list, I quickly realized there wouldn't be much room for synapse and that I would need a Pod for each Dimachaeron. So I went from there and created this monstrosity.

CAD:
HQ:
Swarmlord - 285
Deathleaper - 130

Elites:
Lictor - 50
Lictor - 50
Lictor - 50

Troops:
Ripper Swarm w/ deep strike - 45
Ripper Swarm w/ deep strike - 45

Fast Attack:
Dimachaeron - 200
Dimachaeron - 200
Dimachaeron - 200

Heavy Support:
Mawloc - 140
Mawloc - 140

Slotless:
Tyrannocyte - 75
Tyrannocyte - 75
Tyrannocyte - 75
Tyrannocyte - 75

The 3 Dimachaerons and Swarmlord go in the Tyrannocytes.
Is it any good? I don't know. It looks like a fun list though.

Fun? Yes...Good...umm..Maybe? It will be very dependant on the will of the dice gawds. A combo of tarpit and focus fire will tear you up. But in "normal" games (say 50% competitive ish) it should be fun...

The will of the hive is always the same: HUNGER

Bad reserve rolls will kill you. Comms relay is worth looking at here, even if you have to trim some toys.

Very little obesc and no AA whatsoever could be issues.

The soonest the bulk of your forces can do anything will be Turn 3. Swarmlord is not worth it, you could get a super melee flyrant for the points thats mobile and more flexible.
