Do you lot think I'm barking up the correct tree in bestowing -1 to hit on a tyrant? I feel its useful given the fex are all -1 to hit?
Otherwise I thought either Jorm or Levi for survivability buffs, but I also see a fair bit of advancing going on, negating to cover and obviously the Tyrants will neevr benefit from that trait...

I love it! Was thinking very similar list at 2000pts.. But make the wing rants behemoth that way they can deep strike and get into CC right away. Won' t make any diff to the hive guard or the swarms.

Swap the Tyranid prime for a neurothrope!

In the end I made some alterations before taking this to a local tourney and going 2w 1d to come second... Neurothrope would have had more uses than the prime, but he did an ok job of lending some punch in CC and is cheaper than a neuro, hence his inclusion.
