I received some vouchers to spend at the shop. Sweet
I'm thinking about a upgrade for my freshly adopted tyranid army.

At the moment, it consists of aprox.
2 tervigon
1 broodlord

12 warriors
60 genestealers
70 termagaunts
30 homogaunts

1 zoanthrophe

30 gargoyles

5 carnifexes

As i'm lacking a delivery mechanism, the swarmlord (magnetized for tyrant option) looks very interesting to give 1 unit a turn a huge speedbuff.
If i pay a little bit myself i can add an elitechoice, who i don't have atm. But i'm doubting between a maleceptor or a squad of zoanthrope.
Are zoan's worth it? specially because i have a 4th model, but they do only have 1 psychic attack a turn. On the other hand, the maleceptor looks so brutal with the psychic tendrills, and 2 psychic attacks.

What are your thoughts about adding swarmie and one of the psykers?

You might want to consider getting the exocrine/haruspex kit. You can easily magnetize the heads too, so you ca use both options. The exo is beastly and the haru is pretty decent in 8th too. Zoans are kind of meh, honestly, since you can only manifest each power one time. swarmy is a great choice too, don't think you would be disappointed with him.

Swarmlord or Venomthropes.

I would hold on the Malanthrope for the FAQ and rerelease (don't think you can use the vouchers for FW anyway, could be mistaken)

Thanks for the input. I will look at swarmlord and the exocrine/harus kit (not at the codex atm)

And maleceptor? Also meh ?
