This weekend there is a one day tournament at my FLGS as a prep for TSHFT that is coming up in January. (The Seattle Hearts of Fire Tournament.)

I have always favored drop in surprise style tyranids, and with the release of the new codex and subsequent loss of mycetic spores. I was a sad little lictor. However, the new re-release of the spore/tyrannocyte, has allowed me to bring out the cupcakes of doom once more. The cupcakes of doom being the mycetic spores that I made because there was no proper model previously. Well they get one more chance to ride with the new tyrannocyte rules, before I replace them with a more appropriate model to match the new guys.

As to my list:

HQ
Flyrant, 2x dakka, ESG 240
Flyrant, 2x dakka, ESG 240

Troops:
Devilgaunts (10) devourers 80
Genestealers (5) TS 85

Elite:
Hive guard (3) Shock cannons 170
Zoanthrope (1) .............................50
Malanthrope (1).............................85

Heavy:
Carnifex, 2x dakka......................150
Tyrannofex, acid spray, ESG....185
Biovores (3). ...............................120

Tyrannocytes (5)........................375
Imperial bunker, comms relay 70

Opponents should range from necrons with a gauss pylon, chaos with a lord of skulls, orks, and a couple more chaos players.
