gaunts are usually simply a waste, but as an opponent I like the swarm feel.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8672953.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8672953.page GMT [1850] - Tyranid
I love the swarm feel as well, maybe drop the scarabs for more?

As I want to take the FW units and the extra Elites I cant fit it into a single CAD. I play tourneys that wont let me duplicate a detachment and it must be battleforged.

Is 4 Synapse enough do you reckon?

There is also something I have been wondering...

Deathleeper or Lictor?

If I could fit in the extra HQs and the points were not too much of an issue]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8674573.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8674573.page GMT [1850] - Tyranid http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8675419.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8675419.page GMT [1850] - Tyranid
So would you run 4 lictor with the extra points? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8676361.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8676361.page GMT [1850] - Tyranid

I should note your synapse seems a little lite for the list- once they focus down your Malanthropes your 2 Flyrants can't be everywhere. Perhaps you might find room for another Synapse source or two.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8676404.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8676404.page GMT [1850] - Tyranid
What do you reckon is the better sources of Synapse? I am leaning towards maybe a Tervigon as I don't much like Warriors]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8694892.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8694892.page GMT [1850] - Tyranid

Of course if you want another melee unit to advance up with your Stonecrushers and Dimaecharon you could use the Swarmlord with Tyrant guard for protection. You'd have to shuffle around quite a few points though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8694963.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8694963.page GMT [1850] - Tyranid CAD why not use mucluid spores?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8696587.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8696587.page GMT [1850] - Tyranid

Interesting, then they would simply be a tax?

Can spores score objectives? Probably a stupid question I know...

Main reason for using the Gaunts is that I already had some gathering dust. Did buy my first Tyrant last week as I will definitely be using it, nothing built or painted yet so still got time to make changes]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8697050.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8697050.page GMT [1850] - Tyranid The Dimachaeron seems really expensive for a unit that's not actually that fast (so a canny opponent can often stop it from seeing combat much, and I generally get the feel it isn't worth it's points when I play against one), and Zoanthropes would provide both ranged anti-tank and synapse.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8697071.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8697071.page GMT [1850] - Tyranid

yapp... although its hardly a tax at 30 points, considering they could simply block or blow up stuff

and nope no scoring... i'm just asking because you already got 30 gaunts total so why not put a troop tervigon (instead of dimacherion) in the list?
then ditch the 10 hormas and the rippers for two mucloids and save alot of points, which you can then invest in some zoans or venoms or some devourerd for the gaunts?

list:

The troop tervigon is cool for objectives. With thus list it looks like I can almost fit in a CAD...

Just the Elites that spill over (if the fexes become a single unit). What elite formations exist? I know of the Deathleaper one for lictors, but is there one for thropes? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8697561.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8697561.page GMT [1850] - Tyranid CAD?

there is the lictor forest brood. although its 5 in one unit (gain shrouded and can infiltrate up to 6" but only if deployed in a forest)

you can put three fexes in one unit for a Carnifex Crusher Brood (gain IWND). but thats apocalypse

the thropes one are too big to be of ANY use...
1 maleceptor and 3 zoan broods with neurothropes as leaders (gain 18" SitW and can reroll warp charges of 1's)

well if you absolutly need a third troop... you can always throw in another mucloid

What about the one that gives poison and instant death (tyrant, toxicrene one I think). Had any use of that or is it too expensive ti be considered any good as well?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8697730.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691679/8697730.page GMT Re:[1850] - Tyranid

seriously... just get another spore / small gaunt mob or deepstriking rippers

i think the only viable formation for tyranids aside apoc size ones, is the living artillery node. but that doesnt really fit your list.
