ok that gives me 1039 points should I get for the last 211
1) a rtygon with adrenal glands 210 poins or
2)30 Gargoyles with toxin sacs 210 points ?

Ok plan is to infiltrate or outflank the genestealers and use the hive guards close to the hive tyrant so he can provide synapse.They can also crack open all those small transports and a few bigger tanks i think.
If I take the trygon option I would use him err I don't know :S If I take the gargoyles I wouls use them as massive shield for the tyrant and guards.
Please don't tell me to get a tervigon or zoantrophers please!!! they are ugly and I don't like them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2276066.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2276066.page GMT MC's that are almost impossible to take down with only 1250 points of shooting.

Your list:

Hive tyrants are to expensive for a 1250 armylist. If you really need synapse then its better to save points and take a Pyranid prime with two boneswords and attach it to a hivegaurd unit. I would take 2x3 hiveguard units instead of 3x2. This way you get 1 less KP and its harder to take down a unit and claim VP's.

Your Genestealers are the only scoring units but the have to get into the fight, so its hard for you to claim the objectives/counters that are not near the enemy. A scoring tervigon is the best unit for this job but you dont like them, so..(the are only as ugly as you make them).

With a Prime instead of a Hive Tyrant and one less Broodlord...you can take one more trygon! Now you got two Trygons in a 1250 game! If you deepstrike them you will get at least one in turn 2 so he can backup your genestealers.

hope it helps..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2277223.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2277223.page GMT
As for your army, you have aload of anti tank but not much scoring. Perhaps 30Hormagaunts? or a Tervigon as troops?
You know what, why not get solid Swarm lead by a Prime and a Troops Tervigon? and HG backup,

Hive Guard =tanks

Swarm of gaunts =tying up troops/flooding em

Stealers =elite hunters

Tervigon =objective holder/momma

Trygon =meat grinder ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2277507.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2277507.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2277657.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2277657.page GMT

what I was thinking about is droping the gaunts for another trygon or mawloc so I can keep a few gaunts to secure the home objective :/]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2280600.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2280600.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2282675.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2282675.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2284059.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2284059.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2284320.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336563/2284320.page GMT
