Making a 1k list with tyranids and i want to play my scythed hierodule, how should i build the rest of my list?

Probably lots of bodies i assume.

Here is my first try:

Tyranids: Super-Heavy Auxiliary Detachment - 440 Points
*************** 1 Lord of War ***************
Scythed Hierodule
- - - > 440 Points

Tyranids: Outrider Detachment - 548 Points
*************** 1 HQ ***************
Hive Tyrant, Wings
+ , 2 Pairs of m. scything talons -> 41 Pkt.
- - - > 212 Points

*************** 2 Standard ***************
3 Ripper Swarms
- - - > 33 Points

3 Ripper Swarms
- - - > 33 Points

*************** 2 Elite ***************
Lictor
- - - > 45 Points

Lictor
- - - > 45 Points

*************** 3 Sturm ***************
10 Gargoyles
- - - > 60 Points

10 Gargoyles
- - - > 60 Points

10 Gargoyles
- - - > 60 Points


Points : 988
Power : 52
Commandpoints: 3


Only have 3 commandpoints, because i lose one for having the low aux detachment.
30 Gargs for screening and fast objective grabbing. The Rippers could be used to grab some objectives on turn 3 and the lictors are there for some first turn assaults or tying up some shooty stuff. The Hivetyrant is my only Synapse, but i took him for his psypowers and for deny the witch, cause smite can really hurt in a 1000 point game.

The Scythed Hierodule can be onslaughted into combat really fast and made more durable with catalyst.


What do you think of it?

Looks interesting! I agree that you're short on CP's, but at 1000 I expect that a SH will be a very hard target. Good luck!

Personally I would try to run a Batallion for the extra CPs, so if you find yourself wanting more, thats a place to start.

The will of the hive is always the same: HUNGER

Only concern would be the Scythed getting alpha striked.
If he did the rest of the army is quite fragile / not hard hitting.
But I suppose with 30 gargs you could bubble wrap him nicely.

Thanks for your replies .


Yeah the rest of the list is not that hard, but i have no idea what i should play instead of the Gargs.

Could kick 10 of them to fit in more Ripper Swarms and make Battalion but then i need a second HQ for it and that kinda expensive.

What would you play or add to the list?
