i'll tell you the models i have so far

the new swarm box
1 carnifex box
1 swarmlord box
1 tervigon box
1 hiveguard box
1 crone box
1 hexocrine box
1 lictor
1 warrior box
1 genestealer box

i was thinking about 30 therma 1 tervigon 1 prime plus upgrades as a starting 500pt....
but i've never played a game so advices are more then welcomed!
I fear the list i thought kinda misses anything to hit vehicles also skyfire but i don't know if it's an issue on 500pt bracket!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572883/6427958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572883/6427958.page GMT need advice for starting a tyranid army AV 12 in the front and probably one a single such model, so while annoying it can be dealt with easily

I would probably do a Warrior Prime as HQ, two small units of gaunts, unit of warriors, and a cheap fex in heavy. I'm still waiting for my codex to come in mail, so I'm not sure what point costs are at the moment or many of the rule changes. Thou from a quick read on the forums instinctive behavior will be a pain so keep your synapse creatures close to the troops that need them; but out of sight from enemy fire.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572883/6428284.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572883/6428284.page GMT Re:need advice for starting a tyranid army listen to this list:

HQ
tervigon 195pt
miasma cannon 25pt (this seems nice 'cause makes the tervigon quite useful while firing)

TROOPS
terma x10 40pt

horma x10 50pt


ELITES
zoanothrope 50pt

HEAVY SUPPORT
carnifex 120pt
heavy venom cannon 20pt

it's exactly 500 pt it has nice firing capability nice synapse coverage
drawback here are the few troops...

on the other hand if you are lucky with phychic powers it could make it easier for the fex to go in assault (but with the cannon he can punch some damage anyway)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572883/6428769.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572883/6428769.page GMT Re:need advice for starting a tyranid army

IMO Its better to have more troops for tyranids,they are quite easy to die unless you can cover them.That is in my opinion]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572883/6428852.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572883/6428852.page GMT Re:need advice for starting a tyranid army
QG

Primus 125pt
venom cannon 10pt
electric worms 10pt
Thyrax shytes 10pt
hooks 5pt

TROOPS

hormagaunt x30 120pt

Tervigon 195pt
miasma cannon 25 pt

the only thing i fear here is focus fire on the prime....

but to be honest the one with the zoanotrope seems much more funnier to play!

maybe i'll do that anyway since there are more creatures and i can test them better

i've read somewhere the tervigon is not a valid general since it isn't a character so.....

what about this list:

PRIME with venom cannon thyrax and hooks....
Tervigonwith electric worms
zoanothrope
terma x10
horma x11 ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572883/6429867.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572883/6429867.page GMT
