Hello folks, I have a Tyranid list I would like to get some feedback on. I plan on running the list often as I am just now beginning my Hive Fleet and adding to it in the future (between this and my daemons anyways)

THE LIST:

Hive Tyrant
-Electroshock grubs
-Reaper of Obliterax
-Adrenal Glands

Tyranid Warrior Brood
-6 Warriors
-5 Deathspitters
-1 Barbed Strangler

Genestealers
-Adrenal Glands

Genestealers
-Adrenal Glands

Genestealers
-Adrenal Glands

Carnafex
-Twinlinks Devourer with brain leech

Tyrannofex


THE PLAN:
So my thoughts behind the list are mostly geared towards a team setting as I have a small local tourney at the end of the month, my partner will be doing some sort of drop pod army with or without admech allies. My partner will also be handling most of the anti tank but he will be lacking on scoring which is where I come in. My plan behind this list is using the three MCs to walk up the board soaking hits and distracting units while the other troops score objectives.

I went with a CC walkrant to look intimidating and be somewhat of a nice CC threat while offering synapse to my monster group. He will be following both my Carnifex and stock Tyrannofex which are there to absorb wounds and offer light shooting before crashing into CC to tie units up for the purpose of alleviating shooting onto my partners army.

Tyranid warriors will offer midfield and backfield fire support and can be split into two groups to cover area, for now I left them as one though.

The genestealers are to outflank and grab objectives, outflanking is new for me as my CSM/CD do not use the mechanic nor do any of my local opponents. I started them out in bigger numbers with a broodlord but decided cheap might be the better fit. Jumping from cover to cover will be their job and maybe if I catch a light infantry unit out in the open I might run them in to clean up. I thought about gaunts for this job but rested on genestealers due to outflanking and infiltrate allowing me to bring them in later turns to avoid being shot up too early.

Three good notes about this tourney is only 2 sources for your list, teams treat their partners armies as AoC, and finally no LoW/Superheavies/GCs.


Now a few questions I want to ask everyone about this list are:

1. For the point limit of 1000 how does it look in regards to a semi TAC?

2. Does it make good use of genestealers in a msu state?

3. Should I split the warriors up for better coverage?

4. Change in units or gear options?

5. Outflanking vs Infiltrate?

6. Tips for Outflanking?

7. Any tips or ideas you personally can think of that would help?

Thank you for your time and game on!
