So I like the low deployment of this list.
Devilgaunts are great but can suffer from not having any targets available if all the troops are in transports.
This list is based off of waiting until the squishies are out before deploying the Trygons and Devilgaunts, this could be on first turn but I can wait for my strong shooter base to finish off a transport or two before having them come out where they are needed.

I can also use the Terms as bubble wrap if this is needed.

Looks interesting! I'd be glad to hear how it plays.

If you can pop enough transports etc to give viable targets for the gaunts then I like the idea of the list. However, I like the security of the extra 2 CP normally, but then again your dice may not be as bad as mine!

yeah, I would need another troop and one or two HQ choices (if I don't reduce the heavy support slots by 1 to get the points for this change) for that Battalion, which would change the list a lot to do this.

A 2500pts list would probably have another Malanthrope, a big Tyranid Warriors units and maybe a walking Hive Tyrant or something for some psykic support

Looks very solid. You may want to find the points for the 5 more Devourers per a squad, definitely before taking AG on the Trygon. And really only one needs to be a Prime, two is nice for redundancy but if they are splitting up their army theres going to be a way to place your Termagants to shoot the right targets even if you need to split squads, and if they aren't then one Prime covers it. A large part of it's cost is the Synapse so I'd free one up for extra points, even if it doesn't make the written list look as neat.

It looks like a solid shooting core, my notice is that its just a little light on dice and sometimes you need to just throw a bunch of rolls at something, which is why I'd want to make sure you're getting the max amount of Devourer shots in there, especially since you're paying +400 points of your army to deliver them anywhere turn 1.

Good list, +1 from me. Let us know how it goes!

P.S.A. I won't read your posts if you break it into a million separate quotes and make an eyesore of it.
