Tis' the season and I'm looking to start a new army. Most of my FLGS play Imperium, so I was looking for another xenos army and one that is melee oriented. The vote was up and Tyranids won.

The only model that is a must is the Swarmlord because I love that model

Swarmlord - Onslaught, Psychic Scream


Troops

3 units of 3 Ripper Swarms

2 units of Hormagaunts 20x

Any CC would be appreciated before I have people spend money on gifts to start this list <3

I would recommend a little more shooting on principle of having a means to offensively protect your big guys from anti-tank weapons. The HVC certainly are a good start to that. The closest thing to a weak link I see are the tyrant guard since they are unlikely to use their offense at all and have a hard time keeping up with tyrants. Protecting Swarmlord on T1 if you don't go first might be reason enough to have them I suppose.

Good job getting CPs, having psy powers, and enough targets to force choice.

Looks like a fun list! Personally I'd find a way to put a second Brood of Stealers in. Kraken is super good for Stealers Maybe a x14 to x16 Brood? Good luck! And welcome to the Hive Mind!
