I am clearly not experienced with tyranids and especially the new dex except from what i read on the net.
However i have one question : "if you dont take tervigons as troops, why take squads of 30 gaunts instead of multiple smaller ones"?
You could take 4 squads of 15 instead and it would be more solid i think.
Otherwise, HQ sounds solid, take care of his serpents with your crones]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575167/6465111.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575167/6465111.page GMT 1750pt Tyranids Army List help Vs a Eldar Army

Because they die to fast. Seriously, with only a 6+ about most weapons in the game ignores the armor. Secondly the larger size makes them easier to string out for synapse.

With the mass of ID weapons the Eldar have, I would split the Zoanthopes, get a Venom and drop the Warriors. I don't see the warriors bring much to this list.
Catalyst and Onslaught are going to be a big help. And possibly Horror, though I think Wraiths are fearless.

Not sure the AG will be worth it on your Carnies as you have them rigged for shooting. Might look at Bio-Plasma instead of the HVC to keep the second CC weapon.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575167/6465288.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/575167/6465288.page GMT 1750pt Tyranids Army List help Vs a Eldar Army
Any tips on dealing with Wraithknights and the general ID weapons of Eldar?

Any other ideas or suggestions? I haven't faced Eldar in a number of years and havent had a test run with the new nids codex yet.
