Hi,

I have been playing tyranids for years now on and off. About a year ago I decided to start again and I wanted to see what people think of this army list before I finish it?

Hq: 335pts
swarmlord 285
tyrant guard 50

Troops: 360pts
52 hormagaunts, 260
3 warriors with scything talons and death spitters and one with a strangle thorn cannon 100pts

Elites: 285pts
3 zoanthropes 150
3 venomthropes 135

Heavy Support: 520pts
Mawloc 140
Mawloc 140
Trygone prime 230

It's a fairly simple army and the idea behind it is that I will hide the swarmlord in cover to start and keep him with that mob of gaunts and the warriors and the thropes, all shrouded, all kept as safe as possible.

Then at the start of the second turn with a little luck the swarmlord's ability to bring in reserves on a 2+ will mean that the mawlocs and trygon will pop up and cause carnage and distract from the horde giving it a chance to advance.

What do people think?
