Here is my list with unwanted Tyranids that I am going to take to A local 20+ tournament in just a few weeks on the 1st.
The list is designed to olmost be a null deployment. Only the spore formation in on the table. I can place the tyrants on the table if I go first to make sure they come in 2nd turn for sure by flying them turn 1. Depending on terrain on the board will of course decide placement. If I have the choice this list will go 2nd all the time. I don't really want to go first with it. but it will happen.
Please talk me though this list. What's week or what match up you think would be problematic it.

This si a remake of a old 5ht play style that may work. Looking for thought on this a match up issues. v

Well, I'd trim two Stealers, and add Thorax hives to each Tyrant (Electro grubs) that's off the top off my head...I'll have to think a wh ile before I can say any more...

I know the egrubs are very popuualer. I just neve had a game where I was darn "I wish I had egrubs". The twin linked devourers have always been better.. But that is a easy fix.

I know the rest of the list is made up of uncommon Tyranids. Shrikes are the better chouce but I don't have the models for them.

Pretty much everything has to be able to deep strike. That is some of the reason for the choice's made.

Hope that helps with yout thinking
