				<title>Tyranids in escalation</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hey all, I've got a fun escalation tournament I'm going to that will span a few months. 5 games in total: starting at 600 points, and growing by 350 points every 2 weeks. Matches are paired randomly, and game types are all custom. There's going to be a wide range of opponents, so I could expect anything from any army. Including <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(722);'>GSC</span>, as someone is finishing up their horde. Super heavies, gargantuan creatures, and <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(787);'>LoW</span> choices can't take up more than 33% of total points used, so I don't really have to worry about that. Won't fit mathematically until later games. Models chosen in the early lists must still be present in later lists, but upgrades can change. Models may be reconfigured into a formation or Decurion once throughout the tournament, no more than 2 sources of materials for your armies. (So no <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(69);'>IG</span>+<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(119);'>SM</span>+IQ, or something like codex tyranids, shield of baal, and rising leviathan).<br /> <br /> With all that out of the way, here's what I'm gunning for: I want to start off strong in the lower points and build up a force that will be difficult to remove with low points. From there I can just expand what I have, and at the higher points I can thrive, as I'm exceptionally good at high points games. <br /> <br /> I've got 2 paths: the one I'm about to post, and swapping an end mawloc for a second hive crone/harpy somewhere down the line. I would have to re-tool the assassins formation or remove it, as its just grabbing objectives and guiding the 2 mawlocs, so the synergy would be lost. I have an unbuilt hive crone kit I can bring. As well as a slew of other critters and like 20 carnifex if I wanted.<br /> <br /> 600<br /> Flyrant<br /> 30 fleshborer gaunts<br /> Tervigon<br /> Venomthrope<br /> <br /> 950<br /> Flyrant<br /> Harpy<br /> 30 fleshborer gaunts<br /> Tervigon<br /> Venomthrope<br /> Mawloc<br /> <br /> 1300<br /> Flyrant<br /> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(19);'>Cc</span> flyrant<br /> Hive crone<br /> Harpy<br /> 30 fleshborer gaunts<br /> Tervigon<br /> Mawloc<br /> Venomthrope<br /> <br /> 1650<br /> Flyrant<br /> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(19);'>Cc</span> flyrant<br /> Hive crone<br /> Harpy<br /> Mawloc<br /> Mawloc<br /> Venomthrope<br /> Malanthrope<br /> Tyrannocyte<br /> 30 fleshborer gaunts<br /> Tervigon<br /> <br /> 2000<br /> Flyrant<br /> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(19);'>Cc</span> flyrant<br /> Hive crone<br /> Harpy<br /> Mawloc<br /> Mawloc<br /> Venomthrope<br /> Malanthrope<br /> Tyrannocyte<br /> 30 fleshborer gaunts<br /> Tervigon<br /> Deathleaper's Assassination Brood<br /> (deathleaper + 5×1 lictors)<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Any glaring weaknesses at the various levels? How do you think I will fair? Any changes I should consider? Upgrades stay pretty consistent throughout the lists.<br /> <br /> Tervigon grabs crushing claws, electroshock grubs, and cluster spines on and off to fill out points, harpy has cluster spines and stranglethrorn cannons always, flyrant has <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(126);'>TL</span> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(29);'>Devs</span> and e-grubs, <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(19);'>cc</span> flyrant has lwbs and various upgrades throughout the lists. Everything else comes stock.]]></description>
