Hello everyone. I have recently begun to get into Warhammer and have settled on Tyranids as my chosen army. I am looking for advice on two possible lists. One is a spearhead and battalion while the other is two battalions. They are pretty similar with the big differences being the choice between tryrannofex vs exocrine and lictor vs trogon. These two slots are leaving me with the most questions. The extra battalion adds enough CP to make both a draw using the lictor stratagem. The trogon has the benefit of adding another threat in the enemies face right away. Please C & C with any and all ideas or thoughts. Thanks.
