Currently I'm running the below 1500 point army with a fair amount of success so its more a case of expanding on something that works and try to further iron out its weak spots.


Tyranid Prime - Lashwhip, Bone Sword, Scything Talons, Adrenal Glands
Tyranid Prime - Lashwhip, Bone Sword, Scything Talons

20 Termagants
Tervigon - Scything Talons, Cluster Spines, Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs, Catalyst
8 Genestealers - Toxin Sacs

2 Hive Guard

Trygon - Adrenal Glands

The army as a whole loves combat as you'd expect from Tyranids and has no trouble with mid armour thanks to the Hive Guard. Av 13/14 is currently handled by the two Trygons Str 7 2D6 charge and while this isn't a problem in 1.5k games I'm not sure what to expect in competitive 1750 lists where multiple land raiders can be used withought costing half the army.

So far my options are....

A 3rd Trygon with Glands and boost the stealer units to 9 strong each.

A 2nd Tervigon exactly the same as above and 11 Gants. Both taken as troops.

Drop a Prime and add in a 2nd Tervigon, boost all Hive guard squads to 3 strong.

7 Ravaners with Rending Claws and Regeneration on the 2nd Prime (he sits with the Hive Guard giving synapse and taking wounds for them).

Anyone got any ideas or able to spot any glaring errors?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364490/2727556.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364490/2727556.page GMT TL dev and a guardor more. (Note my space bar is being weird sorry if words are stuck together.) Also multiple lands raiders are not used any more, que guardalpha strike list. I would try for another trygon or make those trygon primes. If you have more points (more hive guard ;D )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364490/2727594.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364490/2727594.page GMT MC HQ it'd be a Tervigon withought a second thought. Hence the drop a Prime for Tervigon and boost hive guard option.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364490/2727612.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364490/2727612.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364490/2727733.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364490/2727733.page GMT
I also like Hormagaunts. I run a super expensive 28 /w adrenal glands and toxin sacs. that way if the Trygons draw the fire, the Hormagaunts are force that shouldn't have been ignored.

I would also shore up the points on Termagaunts. 2 squads of 10, the Tervigon duo will be spawning enough to go around.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364490/2727763.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364490/2727763.page GMT ) so keep a good upgrade to make them not that many points. Personally Hive tyrants if used and built right they are awesome.
