The other option could be since you seem to be setting up a reserve list is to work with that more. Drop the warriors and a carnie, add a spore for the other carnie and give him some shorter ranged guns with blast and/or template. Add zoanthropes in a spore.

Good luck

I intend to buy a tyrant box, assemble a swarmlord, and have the gun arms to swap out on the metal tyrant.

I like zoanthropes, but only have one model(hence using the Doom) atm. Hive guard I may be converting from warriors.

Though I have non-GW that I can proxy, GW I have:
aprox another 25 stealers
20-25 termagants
Another 5 warriors.

That's about it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449740/4282958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449740/4282958.page GMT Tyranids 2000 pts 1st list this large http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449740/4284240.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449740/4284240.page GMT Tyranids 2000 pts 1st list this large lol.

Anyone have any more comments about Spore lists? Suggestions? I may have to model some devourer arms so I can have a dakkafex.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449740/4302170.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449740/4302170.page GMT Re:Tyranids 2000 pts 1st list this large IG list. This is the better of them. I've used essentially the same list 5 times, and the opponents have surrendered on turn 3 in all but 1, which was done on turn 4 (this video, actually)

So you're happy with 12 devilgaunts? Using mathhammer, 20 will kill 5 MEQ's.....which to me is rather something.

I've been putting weapons on the spores....stranglers more importantly because I figure it's a stationary MC that isn't going to be able to do anything......but a low cost BC and suddenly it's throwing pie out to 36"....I'm hoping to pin a unit or two, either for assaults, or to keep 'em down to be shot at.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449740/4303063.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449740/4303063.page GMT Tyranids 2000 pts 1st list this large

I run 8 spores, and it works really well. I can concentrate a silly amount of firepower on a small part of my opponents army.

Hive Tyrant – Hive Commander, Wings, 2x Twin-linked Devourer

2 Zoanthropes with Spore
2 Zoanthropes with Spore
Doom of Malaysia with Spore

10 Devilgants with Spore
10 Devilgants with Spore
5 Genestealers plus Broodlord with Scything Talons
5 Genestealers plus Broodlord with Scything Talons

Dakkafex with Spore with Twin-linked Deathspitter
Dakkafex with Spore with Twin-linked Deathspitter
Dakkafex with Spore with Twin-linked Deathspitter

1999 points
19 kill points

Genestealers outflank, Flyrant comes in preferably from my own table edge to avoid mishaps. He can charge 18" or cover 30" with dakka. I feel the list has a good chance against most armies out there, unless the mission is pure kill points (which no tournament plays around here).

I think you will have problems with anti tank. Zoanthropes would suit a deep striking list as would maybe a Mawloc (I am not a fan of these) as the S6 template would catch vehicles.

TBH I like N.I.B's list. Not keen on the amount of Genestealers though, better to have more 'Stealers than a Broodlord. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449740/4309014.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449740/4309014.page GMT Tyranids 2000 pts 1st list this large http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449740/4309979.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449740/4309979.page GMT Tyranids 2000 pts 1st list this large MEQ's, but killing 4 or 5 is still fairly probable (as is killing fewer, lol). With 18" range, I can always focus two groups to get 6 kills, and I can fire on damaged units (such as whatever the spore hurt) and clean up without wasting all those extra shots.

But, there is nothing wrong with 20 More Dakka!

I put venom canons on the spores, in case the closest unit happens to be a vehicle. 6 strength has some chance of hurting many vehicles, and keeps the spore a threat even to heavily mechanized armies. The BS would be a better pick if I knew my opponent was very light in vehicles.

Wait, do the spores count as Kill Points?

a) Dropping a stealer from both units and adding a third

b) 2 Hive Guard and bio-plasma for a carnifex

c) Other option?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449740/4316744.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/449740/4316744.page GMT Tyranids 2000 pts 1st list this large
