For this reason I think dakka flyrants become almost mandatory at this level. Your list is also very slow and flyrants would help with this.

I need to either use the hive guards or find another way around flyers]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5522365.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5522365.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k 2,000 point Tyranid army list strengths and weaknesses FOC at 2k points you'll need another HQ.

I agree with ruminator; a dakka flyrant would be an excellent addition to your list. It will provide a very mobile and dangerous threat to your opponent and it will fill your requirement for your double FOC (if that's what you were going for). I might even try swapping one unit of ymgarls out for some zoanthropes. They can provide excellent buffs/debuffs to your army and they give you an additional source of synapse and SiTw. Good luck with your list!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5522705.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5522705.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k 2,000 point Tyranid army list strengths and weaknesses ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5522757.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5522757.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k 2,000 point Tyranid army list strengths and weaknesses
In my experience the perfect number of Tervigons is two, once you exceed this there is a diminishing returns as well as increases body count to suffer from Tervigon death explosions. If you cut one out as well as her follow-up Termagaunt Brood, you open 235 points as written. Following this, I would also drop a single Tyrant Guard (having one utilizes Iron Arm Toughness bonus saving points) and remove their lash whips (Swarmlord is initiaive 6, who are you afraid of going after?) - now you're at 305. This value should be sent directly into either anti-air, deep striking, or both.

As pointed out you're using double FOC, which means you need another HQ if you're keeping the build. My first suggestion would be to pick up the discussed Flyrant whom you give Hive Commander to. Next sacrifice the number of Ymgarls you feel is right to upgrade a Termagaunt squad with Devourers and body count, then Outflank them. Alternatively, Mycetic Spore drop Carnifex, Gargoyle Brood, or Zoanthropes in Mycetic Spores.

This is of course all assuming this is a take-all-comers list, if you know you're facing off say a Blood Angel who is bringing everything to you mostly on the ground, then by all means ignore me. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5523203.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5523203.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k 2,000 point Tyranid army list strengths and weaknesses
i also removed 1 Tervigon and 1 termagants squad.
Added a Dakka flyrant: 260
btw i put lash whips on the tyrant guard so that it is almost guaranteed that i will strike first, even if they have a rule to lower my I, we still strike at the same time, not second, and i am keeping 2 tyrant guard because with some shooty army, they can really hurt my Swarmlord, so i am bring 2 instead.
Bring 20 gargoyles in a mycetic spore: adding 160 points, 1999 points overall.
But can gargoyles bring mycetic spores?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5525144.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5525144.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k 2,000 point Tyranid army list strengths and weaknesses

No. You should bring more hiveguard to the table and walk them near the swarmlord so they get PE to bring down flyers easier. Also, roll on telepathy for swarmlord until (not sure if you have to declare how many rolls beforehand or if you can roll until you get what you want) you get gate of infinity so you can get into combat safer and quicker. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5525170.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5525170.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k 2,000 point Tyranid army list strengths and weaknesses
I will get rid of the gargoyles, - 160
add another squad of 2 Hive guard, + 100
then spend 60 points on something else...
or i can get hive commander, outflank the gargoyles and get lots of shots and get the hive guard and dakka flyrant to take care of flyers]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5525587.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5525587.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k 2,000 point Tyranid army list strengths and weaknesses http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5526130.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5526130.page GMT Re:Warhammer 40k 2,000 point Tyranid army list strengths and weaknesses ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5527435.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/521830/5527435.page GMT
