Walking Hive Tyrants present little to no threat, and with a crown will get targeted fast and raped.

Tervigons aren't great anymore. Taking 2 is a massive points sink.

Haruspex sucks.

Make them both flyrants, drop a tervigon, drop the Haruspex. Biovores are good! Pair them up to open up your HS slots and look elsewhere.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6492931.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6492931.page GMT Complete noob at tyranids
I really want to run 2 tervigons tho, (especially with the little outflank strategy, even if it doesnt work optimally)

Also can you elaborate on why the haruspex sucks?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6492947.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6492947.page GMT Complete noob at tyranids MC that has no real method of reaching the other side of the board, other than footslogging it. I think it might be worth something if you add AG and Regeneration, because if it DOES manage to reach the other side, it will do some serious damage and recoup wounds. However, it has low WS and if surrounded by enough cannon fodder, it'll be stuck till the game ends (which could be a good thing, depending on the situation). I'm running one in my next list as a distraction unit. If you do decide to go with one, make sure you understand every rule it has, because it has a lot (fear, tongue's precision strike on a 6, regen, acid blood, etc).

I will second his assertion that 2 Tervigon is too much of a point sink. For the cost of 30terma and 1 tervi, you can field nearly 60 homagants, or tons of termagants/devilgants, or GS and warriors and gants, or throw some points into VThrope or ZThrope, or even a Tyrannofex + a few models. Once you separate yourself from how badass Tervigon's used to be, it opens the door to a wide array of play options that are actually quite viable.

Hope that helps.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6493478.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6493478.page GMT Complete noob at tyranids

Thanks alot, yes i was already planning on putting on AG (wasnt sure about regen because it already can regen wounds by hitting stuff, but i guess it needs to hit something first)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6493490.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6493490.page GMT Complete noob at tyranids CC beast that can potentially recover 2 wounds per friendly turn can get really nasty if it lives long enough. Sooner or later they will run out of units that can dedicate fire its way, and by then the odds are surely in your favor.

My question:
Is the prime worth it in this army (at first i thought it would be good to give the haruspex synapse after it got out of the tunnel, but the tervigon that outflanks could accomplish this aswel). The 6 extra shots are also nice, but is it worth the 40 points?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6497246.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6497246.page GMT Noobie Nids 1500 list http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6497265.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6497265.page GMT Noobie Nids 1500 list http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6497575.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6497575.page GMT Noobie Nids 1500 list http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6498327.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577113/6498327.page GMT
