However Im not sure of running it if it'll be a curbstomp to Hissy (mainly because of the Biotitan). It'll be a killpoint game in a 6x4 board - standard rules etc. Both sides come to about 1650 points.
Any ideas on it being worth a go? Have not played or faced a Biotitan before.
Hissy army is:
Spoiler:
++ Tyranids: Codex (2014) (Unbound Army (Faction)) ++
+ No Battle Role (HQ) +
Hive Tyrant [Adrenal Glands, Electroshock Grubs, Old Adversary, Powers of the Hive Mind, Psyker (Mastery Level 2), Regeneration, Twin-linked Devourer with Brainleech Worms, Twin-linked Devourer with Brainleech Worms, Wings]
The Swarmlord [2x Bone Sabres, Powers of the Hive Mind, Psyker (Mastery Level 3)]
I really don't know what that bio titan does. I think you've got some real advantages though. You have air superiority and that swarmlord is going to get wrecked by all those genestealers. Can your Tyranano fex and remaining forces take down the titan though? I do not know.
If we fail to anticipate the unforeseen or expect the unexpected in a universe of infinite possibilities, we may find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that cannot be programmed, categorized or easily referenced.

Yeah I think the air battle will be equal (2 flyrants vs 1 but backed up with Biotitan skyfire).
My worry is that the Biotitan + Swarmy vs the Stealers and Tyrannos might be way imbalanced either way.
Either
A. Biotitan in hth + stomp tears through the stealers and shoots up the fexes
or
B. the stealers swamp the swarmlord and just avoid the Biotitan.
Hmmmm.

INSANE army lists still available!!!! Now being written in 8th edition format! I have Index Imperium 1, Index Imperium 2, Index Xenos 2, Codex Orks Codex Tyranids, Codex Blood Angels and Codex Space Marines!
PM me for an INSANE (100K+ points) if you desire.
It's totally fluffy. There was a section in a previous codex mentioning how hive fleets often fight it out when they run into each other. As a way of determining which had developed the best evolutionary traits.
The winner gets the best traits of both fleets, and is now twice the size.
As for the lists, they are weird.
I think the bio-titan can take this on. Turn 1 it might be able to blast a tyrant on the ground. But the biggest threat to it in the other army is the dimachaeron. Which just happens to also be the most ideal target for its cannons.
The dimachaeron could potentially take a huge chunk out of the bio-titan, but since the dima is such an obvious and slow target it isn't going to get there.
A brood of genestealers charging it may take a wound off, but it has plenty to work with, plus regen. The genestealers best hope is to keep it pinned in combat for long enough to get the dimachaeron in there. However the titan is faster than the stealers. Fast enough to pick its battles against them.
The tyrannofexes are in a bad spot. Their 2+ saves make them highly resistant to bio-cannon fire. But their rupture cannons are going to do even less in return, and they are poor in close combat. They have no good targets, and can be ignored until everything else has been cleaned out.
