SO I HAVE AN UPCOMING TOURNAMENT IN A COUPLE days. Trying to make an all rounder list using our "moderately" underpowered bugs. List is as follows:

Flyrant with 2 TLDBLW and E grubs, tervigon with crushing claws, 2 mucolids, living artillery node (consisting of 3 warriors with venom cannon, 3 biovores, and an exocrine) , a mawloc, 2 single stone crusher carnifex, brood of 3 hive guard with impaler cannons, 2 single venom thropes, a hive crone, and 3 shrikes with rending claws flesh hooks and adrenal glands.

Not the most competitive list as it doesn't feature 3+ flyrants, 2+ mawlocs and malanthropes but using what I got and to stay away from the cliche competition tyranid list. Trying to figure out a way to deal with super heavies and other big stuff as well as av13+. Figures the d3 impact of the str 10 ap2 crusher fexes might do some damage ,even against knights and such . as always av13+ is our bane so always tough to find a way around it til we get a new book. Not lookin to get first as I have won the last 2 tourneys but obviously if it happens it happens. Would love to hear back from the other hive mind players out there. By the way second time posting here ever so forgive me if it seems dull!

If you can get 3 standard fex and a 3 warriors, the Wrecker Node can drop a super heavy on I10 with 3 d3+1 hammers. And it is not tied to the Warrior brood. Cost for a minimum node is 450 so inline with the cost of a Knight.

I am assuming your shrike still have the basic devourer? Depending on facing attacked they can also do serious damage to vehicles and GMC. Used wisely these guys can be a real surpise for your power armor opponents since they will not suffer assault penalties for charging through cover.

Crone and Flyrant are your main anti-knight units, though the hive guard can punch through av13.

You are troop weak, which will hurt you in scoring, so I would recommend going leviathan for the better IB tests. While you are not short on synapse, you will need to be careful on your deployments.
