I'm new to collecting tyranids and I'm looking for something different to my Tau so wanted to build a CC themed army but something that won't get blown off the table every game.
I currently have,
Swarmlord
3 warriors with adrenal glands, talons and rending claws
40 termagants
20 hormagants with devours
20 hormagants with fleshborers
20 gargoyles
Carnifexs with adrenal gland and crushing claws.

I was looking to run four groups of 30 gants, add another unit of warriors and a tygron prime and a tervigon? Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks
Jacob

To make some suggestions you need to take at least two guard to use the swormlord ( idk if that's staying in 8th edition), and I would lower the number of devour gants or have 2 units of 10 fleshborers and 10 devourers. Btw hormaguants are the CC gants lol. A tervigon would also be a nice add as it allows units to pop up with it. Have fun with nids!

Well...new rulz commin, so no way to know exactly what will be good...but if you want a CC army, then I'd suggest building around Trygons and a Brood of Hormagaunts, x2. Then a Swarmlord. After that, so much is not known about how things will work to be Sure. But every indication is that Nids will be able to use swarms of CC gribblies.

Oh, and Genestealers look to be a boss unit again.

I could drop the gargoyles for another synapse creature or even the gargoyles and one greatest for another carnifex

Any thoughts?

Well,you do look short on Synapse...but nobody knows how it will be working really...but I'd suggest adding in a few more. Zoanthropes are Currently a good inexpensive way to add Synapse, and they have Powerz of the Hive Mind! (No telling what that will be )
