Some background on me. I play (try to collect) all factions. Tyranids is my favorite (1st love) and personally like to believe it is the faction I'm most skilled at using. I won a very local tournament using them and I find that I can build solid Tyranid lists though I prefer building my lists to a theme in general not always aiming to be a tournament winner.

Gameplan: This is a shooty Tyranid army. I have found that the termagants tend to be my all star units when playing Nids. Against anything that isn't T8+ or has a 2+ save the Termagants will constantly do well against. Devourers are amazing, fleshborers are there to give the unit ablative wounds. I recently purchased 2 malanthropes finally so the list aims to run them and see how effective it is with a competent shooty tyranids list.
