Tried building list to make synapes easier to deal with and mess with enemy with DS Mawlocs and outflanking Termaguants while the smaller forces can advance forward without having to bubble to much.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576187/6479182.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576187/6479182.page GMT First go at a 1750 Tyranids list
Tervigons are probably still an auto take, I know they got the nerf bat but you need to be able to poop out troops later.

I don't think 2 flyrants are needed, the 30 Terms will do the same job it does, if not better.


You cannot possibly equate a unit of 30 Termagants to a Flyrant. They have 2 extremely different "jobs" on the battlefield. What are you using your Tyrant for that the Termagants are better at? I am utterly confused by this statement, I hope I have taken it out of context.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576187/6479852.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576187/6479852.page GMT First go at a 1750 Tyranids list http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576187/6479876.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576187/6479876.page GMT First go at a 1750 Tyranids list Devs within range all at once without opening up for blast/template destruction.

On to your list though, 2 Synapse creatures aren't going to cut it. Your Devilgaunts are going to be useless after your tyrant is shot down, your Zoe better be hiding behind the T-Fex so he doesn't get shot to pieces either.. When your Tyrant is shot down (which is going to happen) and your Gants outflank with no synapse they are boned. They will just Lurk and be 30 models standing around DIH.

Chances are that your Tyrant wont live to see the gants or Mawlocs arrive from reserve unless you play extremely conservative with it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576187/6480074.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576187/6480074.page GMT First go at a 1750 Tyranids list TMC for the most part care less about synapse either due to fearless, being solo or high Ld. The Outflanking guants aren't effected by instinctive behavior the turn they arrive from reserve, will get they're range easy when playing hammer and anvil(at worst deployment for nids) and only have a 29.16% chance of being forced to flee from IB every turn after. And to hell with being conservative, fortune favors the brave. The Flyrant and Harpies are going to be focus on the side of the board with least firepower and removing what ever is there in the first place and I imagine a decent amount of fire will be drawn to Deathleaper, the Zoanthrope and the Tervigon. I've watch enough battle reports and seen what nid armies are coming out best and this is following them. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576187/6480275.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576187/6480275.page GMT First go at a 1750 Tyranids list IB. Most TMCs are LD 7 or 8 (I wouldn't call that high) and while single TMCs failing IB tests isn't disaster, do you really want your Mawlocs forced into assault?

Understood that the gants dont check IB the first turn they enter, but after that they are testing on a 6 and if they fail at all regardless of the roll on Lurk they do nothing productive. The Flyrant wont last 2 turns with an aggressive approach. Harpies are paper airplanes.

Ill be honest I did miss the Tervigon in my original look at the list, that still only gives you 3 synapse creatures that will be relatively easy to dispatch.

6 Lurk
3 Hunt
2 feed

I am not sure how insensitive to synapse you will be with so many units have IB issues. Leaper and Harpy relatively resistant, but most of the rest fail about 45-55% of the time.

Lose 7.5 guants I.B. won't even be an issue for the big brood as you will already be falling back over half the time. and I don't see the point in this list for the 80 points split into to broods termies of guants. Either spike rifles for the range of spine fists for the extra hits would make more since. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576187/6483312.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/576187/6483312.page GMT
