Hello everyone! Im currently sitting in around 1k points which Im trying to expand to 1500.

HQ

Flyrant with devourers -230p

Troops

Hormagaunt brood x18 -90p

Hormagaunt brood x18 -90p

Elite

Zoanthrope brood x2 -100p

Venomthrope -45p

Heavy support

Dakkafex -150p

Dakkafex -150p

Mawloc/Trygon prime (magnetized) -140-230p

This is what i have currently but i have no idea what would fit in that would take me to 1500p. All suggestions are welcome but i despise the look of termagaunts and i don't really want to tryhard with mass flyrants.

Thanks!

Just off the top of my head, a second Tyrant is an auto.magic choice, and a second Veno, or Zoey looks like a good add on.

After that it depends on style, and the local meta. Personally I like having plenty of Troops, so I would add a Warrior Brood, with cannon, for some extra Synapse. It will also help you add a Formation. Adding a Formation to 1000 points will get you pretty close to 1500 on it's own.

Most anyone has good luck with adding Living Artillery Node.

I'd have another Flyrant, but not to cheese out. It's just that one Flyrant will be the target of all your opponents AA, whereas two share the pain and survive longer (also mobile Synapse and other benefits of bringing it).

Two Tyrannocytes would compliment your Carnifexes nicely.

I'd try and bump the Hormagaunts to 20 ea so that you can have 4x10 and have more objectives to grab with them.

Zoanthropes can be split into two seperate broods, or if you prefer, a Malanthrope over both the Venom and Zoanthropes. It's like a combination of the two, minus the psychic powers and ten points but gets a lot of bonuses that add to the Tyranid army.

I'd go a Mawloc for your last HS slot, AP2 is hard to come by in Nids. YMMV, but I have had good results with them.
