Hi All,
I would like some input on an army I am putting together. To make a long story short, I have always tried to jump into the game, without much luck as I tend to get overwhelmed and just give up. With 8th Edition here, I decided to give it a go. I have the following list that I would like some input on. Some things I would like you to consider:

1) not looking to be super competitive. Given the synergistic need of the Tyranids, I just want to make sure this list is just not completely silly and that I can at least go into a casual game and not get eradicated all the time due to lack of synergy.
2) With only a couple of exceptions, these models are already purchased, assembled and primed
3) Not including wargear for a lot of these at the moment, as I would love your input. I envision playing super casual games with people who wont necessarily care that the weapon on the model matches the list.

I guess I am looking for is either "hey bro this makes no sense at all", "looks like a good start, you can get a way with this in casual play" or "if you just buy one more squad of XYZ this would be an ok list" types of responses. There is also the "NO you aren't even allowed to do that!!". I built the list using the models I like, some minor internet research, and with no knowledge of how to play the game. At the moment I do not want to spend much more money, so even if I have to go down in points Id take that as well (I guess 8th ed made tyranids alot cheaper?). Thanks for the help I know this is probably a vague question.

Here we Gooooo

2x Flyrants w/twin linked devs

3 Tyranid Warriors

1x unit of 20 Termagaunts

1x unit of 20 Termagaunts

(i have 3 loose terms after this, I did 2 units of 20 for sake making it even)

1x unit of 8 Genestealers

1x Tervigon

1x Carnifex with crushing claws

I do have 1 single Venomthrope, but understand they need to be in a unit of 3 so not sure what I would do here.

Wargear loadout and minor additions or subtractions of units are welcome!!!

Thanks!

hey hello how the blood hell are ya. you need an index or codex just so you know your weapon strengths and unit stats. models in friendly games dont need correct weapons but helps you remember. I'll upload some screen shots once I'm home. It's a long journey but stick witb it. great hobby[img]

Thanks! I do have the index and rule book so getting the points/wargear/etc will come in time I was just curious if the above list was a workable one for tyranids.

I did invest in a second unit of genestealers btw

nicely done. so I think your well on your way to becoming a player. I'd start off a lot smaller and learn to use the models. changing weapons and looking up special rules. detachments would be the best way but not needed in friendly games. run 1hq/hivetyrant and 2troops 30termagant brood 1tervigon (special rule) changes to a troop chose. play agressive and put the termagants back into your spawn pool. and hope you dont roll doubles best way to learn is to team up with someone to play with I use my brother but anyone interest. enjoy
