I would lose the zoanthropes for a doom of malantai.

I would also lose one of the flyrants for a genestealer mob of 10+ a broodlord.

Just remember that you have a very good army for objectives, but 2 out of 3 scenarios at ard boys this year are kill points and victory points.

Your army will suffer for victory points for sure. If I concentrated all of my firepower on your trygons, I could get 600 victory points from you in 1 or 2 turns.

Also, I really like adding adrenals to my trygons, really kicks you over the hump on land raider killing.

I think you could free up points just by running 30 gants instead of 75. That could get you the adrenals and the two mid-sized gargoyle units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294563/1568413.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294563/1568413.page GMT Tyranids 2500 Pts Ard Boyz Trygons, Tyrants and Tevigons oh my!
Thank you

That's pretty sound advice.

I was thinking about hiding the hive tyrants behind the trygons.

I do have 90 gargoyles...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294563/1568439.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294563/1568439.page GMT Tyranids 2500 Pts Ard Boyz Trygons, Tyrants and Tevigons oh my!
I'm actually pretty curious how "argument-free" their cover save would be from gargs. Please let me know if it looks pretty good. I'm not sure if I'm going to use metal GW tyrants or resin forgeworld tyrants yet. And ease of cover save will be the determining factor.

Nids have a lot of problems with undefined model shapes and sizes on their MCs and not a lot of ways to get cover saves for those MCs. And not having a save against missiles for 210 point or 230 point models is not a happy thought. Especially at 2500

Given the lack of Hive Commander, I'm guessing your Trygons are starting on the board? If they weren't, I'd suggest clearing enough 'gants to make one Trygon a Prime, both for the burrowing Synapse and for the backfield Shadow in the Warp when he arrives.

My only concern re: Gargoyles is synapse; Tyrants, screened or not, are fairly vulnerable targets. If you have the model, you might consider swapping a Tyrant for the Parasite, if you want the gargoyles along.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294563/1568493.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294563/1568493.page GMT Re:Tyranids 2500 Pts Ard Boyz Trygons, Tyrants and Tevigons oh my! 1 Trygon @ 200

For Ard Boyz I'm using the 2nd edition Tyrant with Wings Glued ON and the Old Gargoyles.

JotWW won't hurt that bad... : )

Honestly though, I love how all of our lists are mostly made to deal with one another. IE- Geoff fears your list, you fear Reece's and my list, and I fear Geoff and Shane's lists ect.

Isn't this what 'Ard Boyz is all about?

I can't wait, the competition for this is going to be tough!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294563/1569171.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/294563/1569171.page GMT Re:Tyranids 2500 Pts Ard Boyz Trygons, Tyrants and Tevigons oh my!
