Wayland Games do a bundle box of Tyranids for £84 and In that box there is a carnifex, 40 TermaGants, 40 Hormagants, 10 gargoyles and 3 ripper swarms.

Question 1) is this box worth buying if I'm starting out
Question 2) if I should get the box how should I add to my force.

2) Depends on how your local meta is. If people are very competitive, flying hive tyrants with TL Devourers and lots of them. If not, whatever you want, basically.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712240/9099694.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712240/9099694.page GMT TL devs is your best bet, but if you just want a cool army and casual play, that bundle is a really good start, gets you your troops on the field and some gargoyles for objective nabbing. Things to concider getting are Hive tyrants (give wings and TL devs) as well as some Venomthropes if you pick that box, as it gives shrouded (2+ to cover save) to any units with at least one model in range, meaning 5+ save in open ground or a 2+ save in ruins!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712240/9099867.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712240/9099867.page GMT
The answer to your question depends on what you want to do with the army and the environment you play in. This is because in comparative play Tyranids are limited to a single viable build, which is structured around bringing as many (5-7) Hive Tyrants with wings and devourers as possible.

If you intend to play competitive tournaments regularly or if you frequently play against people who commonly run top tier tournament builds you do not want this box.

If you don't plan on trying to win a GT anytime soon and are interested in the army due to the fluff and cool models, the box is a good buy. The units in it are useful for building the classic horde style Tyranid army and the price is reasonable.

If you get the box you will be lacking inn synapse (leader units). A Hive Tyrant is a very good buy. Consider Tervigons and Zoanthropes. Both are interesting units that are fun to play but have flaws that keep them from being amazing. Venomthropes are very very useful and should be in almost every Tyranid army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712240/9100081.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712240/9100081.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712240/9100901.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712240/9100901.page GMT
