I am really contemplating making a Tyranid Kill team for Shadow War. I like that they can't be Pinned easy, have multi Wounds and can both be a CC threat or/and a shooting threat. I just have a couple question.

What Teams are people using?

How are you using them? Shooty or in your face melee?

The most common starting build is

1 Leader - Deathspitter
1 Warrior - Deathspitter
1 Gunbeast - Venomcannon

I know I made a pure CC list that consisted of 1 Leader, 1 Warrior and 2 New Spawn, all with adl glnd and rending claws
(using lictors as the minis)

I was thinking of using a Devour instead of a Deathspitter. The Reroll to Wound seems great. I was going to kit out the Warrior as a CC threat but other than that it is almost the same list.

How does your CC list work for you, do you make it into Combat often?

It is near impossible not to make combat..

With Adrenal Glands you have a move of 6".. so that's a 12" Run or Charge, if you are a tad worried about getting shot on the way in at worst you move 6" and hide

Your biggest issue though tends to be Harlequins and DE in H2H, but you generally out do most other races

How bout orks? I'm playing orks and the numbers seem to matter. lots of bodies with red dot shootas and a couple mellee-oriented ones are pretty neat - especially vs mellee.

against orks you want multiple to atk you and then win the first fight, and have the rest break

not the safest tatic but work
