Hey, having a battle with my nephew in a few. Figured I would try out a new army at a small value to show him a little bit of the diversity of 40k. I took my old 7th edition list and updated it a bit. Just looking for any advice or changes. Thanks in advance gents.

Any tyranid players thoughts? I ended up going with my Scion army one game and then my Primaris another. I will be trying this list next week.

I play tyranids had like 6 games in the past week lol. I love my flyrants. i run them with 1 set of rending claws and one set of deathspitters. they do some decent damage at range then they run in and munch characters (almost like a flying broodlord for about the same price). one thing that seems to do tons of damage every game are biovores. they can take wounds off high toughness models or models with amazing saves.
