Hello all, i am starting a tyranid army, getting it up to 1000 points initially.
My main opponents will be DE GK and IG

Tyranid prime with Lash whip and Bonesword, Scything talons, Regeneration
105
Hive tyrant with armoured shell, regeneration, old adversary, acid blood, adrenal glands
280
3 tyranid warriors with 2 boneswords each, 3 scything talons, adrenal glands
135
9 genestealers with, broodlord, scything talons (genestealers and broodlord) and acid blood for broodlord
210
16 hormagaunts with toxin sacs
128
Zoanthrope
60
16 termagants
80
=998

Basically everything charges except the termagants who will hold back on an objective. This gives the enemy five units all of which can destroy pretty much anything in their path except the hormagaunts.
The Zoanthrope will just go for vehicles using warp lance.
I am sure there is something i have overlooked so could someone point out whatever that is to me please

get doom of malentime in a spore pod and youll be fine >:3

o yeah just read the rules for it again and cant believe i didnt put it in in the first place. Thanks!
What should i get rid of?
Termagants +regeneration of tyranid prime or zoanthrope+ toxin sacs off hormagaunts

zoanthrope is for anti tank

toxin saks switch that to fureous charge

regeneration is USELES!!! take that off

1K Nids is all about tervigons, hive guard and termagants I'm afraid.

one problem which is really obvious is that you are upgrading a lot, you are putting to many points into these models. basically your making a less spamy list and that doesn't work against most army's not to mention DE and GK. like they've said above its about tervigons. in any nid army i think its important to find the balance between up grades and model count because honestly even fully upgraded you will loose combat if your playing abilities against nights, numbers are a better bet

ok i have changed the list a bit
Prime with LW BS and ST
Zoanthrope
Doom of malan'tai
9 genestealers w broodlord +Scything Talons
13 Hormagaunts with adrenal glands
3 raveners with deathspitters and rending claws
994
cant afford tervigon before the army needs to be finished so will leave that to 1500
Is that better?
Thanks
