Hey everyone ! I recently started a new army of tyranids and i am still nooby with them haha ! Could some1 help me making a list of 1000 pts ( i play 2v2 with it ) and a list of 1500-1850 pts ( i play 1v1 with it )?

Here is what i can play:
3x carnifexes
1x Tyrannofex
3x Flyrants
1x Mawloc
6x Warriors
3x Biovores
1x Exocrine/Haruspex
60x Termagants
2x Venomthropes
1x Zoanthrope
1x Tervigon

If possible, i would like a list which includes the tyrannofex and the exocrine, since they are my favorites models haha

( If you have any suggestion of what i should add to my list, they are welcome ! )

Well you certainly have enough monstrous creatures to make a solid list. I would take something like:

Hive Tyrant - Wings, 2x TL Devourers 230
30 Termagants - 120
Tervigon - Electroshock Grubs - 205
3 Warriors - Barbed Strangler - 100
Exocrine - 170
Tyrannofex - Acid Spray - 175

1,000

This is a pretty solid list. 34 models doesn't seem like much but with some luck you'll be spawning a decent number of Termagants to help with objectives.

For 1,850 I would take something like this:

First CAD
Hive Tyrant - Wings, 2x TL Devourers 230
Hive Tyrant - Wings, 2x TL Devourers 230
30 Termagants - 120
Tervigon - Electroshock Grubs - 205
2 Venomthropes - 90
Exocrine - 170
Tyrannofex - Acid Spray, Electroshock Grubs - 185

Second CAD
Hive Tyrant - Wings, 2x TL Devourers 230
Zoanthrope - 50
3 Warriors - Barbed Strangler - 100
3 Warriors - Barbed Strangler - 100
Mawloc - 140

1,850

Neither of these lists are top-tier competitive, but both should do reasonably well on the tabletop. I did the best I could with the models you have. I hope this helps!

You have a good selection of models, so you can build several sorts of lists.

One strong suggestion I have is to try to build around a "Living Artillery Node"

LAN: 390
Warrior Brood, x3, Venom Cannon 100
Exocrene
Biovore Brood, x2

Special rules, re-roll scatter, and add "pinning" (within Synapse of Warriors) This is a very useful Formation at all point levels.

How Fearsome do you want your 1000 pointer? you can include multiple Winged Tyrants, and that is a awefully powerful build.

Example:

Winged Dakka'rant, Thorax hive 240
As above 240

Gaunts for Troops, or Rippers, x2 90 to 160?

Tyrannofex, Acid, Thorax 185....still have points left.

Likely you will do fine with one Winged Tyrant, and then you can use more ground forces.

If you want all three Tyrants, you can run a Leviathan or a standard CAD, and a Formation that uses a Tyrant.

I should definitly try LAN
