Hello and good afternoon to all of DakkaDakka.

Looking at building my first main Tyranid list, and aiming to be relatively competitive, I liked the idea of being relatively durable and play some attrition game, as well as having some options in terms of psychic powers and stratagems. I also really like the idea of tervigons and termagaunts creating the backbone of the force.

Onto the list, looking for any feedback at all, good or bad, things you like or dont like.

Cheers all

That doesn't look bad. I suggest you look at turning it into a Brigade though, for the extra CP. You might also explore Hydra, or Kronos. Jormondgandr is very good, but you aren't using it's DS ability, so other Fleets might also work.

Good luck! And welcome to the Hive Mind!

Appreciate the comment, look forward to many games with the hive mind .
