5 raveners would be legal as long as you stay only gave them a single 5point upgrade

Fluff yes, on table not really. A Zoanthrope with stock powers is tuff. Just did a game against a SM with bikes and Tacs, took 1 Zoan, 5 Stealers and 12 termaguants. Left 1 tac standing had all but line breaker for objectives.

That combo is not legal do to both being Elite. HG as the elite and Warriors as the Troops would get the job done.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6386168.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6386168.page GMT Re:Tyranid Kill Team

The only problem here is the small number of models. Since the hivemind gives fearless, Break Tests aren't a problem. But if someone has some bikers w/plasma guns(or something like them) they could quickly zoom up and take out the HG. Ideally the HG could take one out before going down himself, but I'm just trying to prepare for the worst case scenario.
It would just be easy to focus fire this team down in a couple of turns.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6386742.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6386742.page GMT Re:Tyranid Kill Team

In Kill Team I have found that is not as easy as it sounds. Since each model is a "unit" Volume fire is much less damaging. In fact "split fire USR" on a Specialist with a Salvo weapon is really scary because suddenly volume fire means something again. Faced the plasma gun with Master craft USR Specialist. Just not that effective.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6388693.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6388693.page GMT Tyranid Kill Team http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6391527.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6391527.page GMT Tyranid Kill Team

2 things:

First, Doom of Malantai has 4 wounds, making him an illegal choice (as 3 wounds per model is the cap).
Secondly, it's highly rumored that Doom will not be making an appearance in the new nid codex coming out January 11th, so converting one now is highly likely to be a waste of time.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6392267.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6392267.page GMT Tyranid Kill Team

All ravenors isn't legal because your leader can't be a beast or swarm. I think you might need a mix of of Synapse and Swarm- either Warriors/Zoanthropes and then fill out with Gaunts.
This is something I was thinking about running-

Tyranids(200pts)

Troop-
Tyranid Warrior Brood(3 models- 100pts)
Warrior(1)- [Leader]
Warrior(2)- [Indomitable Specialist-Feel No Pain]
Warrior(3)- Barbed Strangler [Weapon Specialist-Ignore Cover]

Fast Attack-
Gargoyle Brood- Toxin Sacs(12 models-96pts)
Gargoyle(1)- [Combat Specialist-Hatred] ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6392522.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6392522.page GMT Tyranid Kill Team

I'm not that familiar with kill team rules.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6393116.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6393116.page GMT Tyranid Kill Team http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6393435.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/570452/6393435.page GMT
