Well, it seems that im going in the opposite direction as Matt for my next army (had a few 500 point games on Tuesday with my Tyranids n they are so much fun!) However all this talk on various forums (beasts of war etc) leads me to believe that Nids are not as competitive as i hoped. But from what i can see in the codex, apart from the apparent lack of inv saves they are pretty damn mean with T6 models all over the place!
I have came up with a list that isnt exactly a 'traditional' tyranid list but it seems decent to me! (ish)
Hive Tyrant with wings, TL devourers, Hive commander, Old adversary and regen
Tervigon with Catalyst (FNP) and toxin sacs x 2
18 termagants with devourers in a spore
10 genestealers with broodlord (outflanking)
The Doom of Malan'tai in a spore
Tyranofex with rupture cannon and desicator larvae ( 48" S10 and flamer that always wounds on 2s) x 2
I have a few (obvious) concerns with this list. The main one being the slight lack of scoring units if my baby mommas dont pop many out. Also AV13 flyers will be a tough task to bring down unless the tyranofexes can get a lucky shot on them.
As im sure you all have gathered from playing against me, im not exactly the most experienced player in the world so i would reeeeeeeeeally appreciate some comments/suggestions on this list before i start building them (i hate proxy so i wanna get it right 1st time)
Thanks
Nick
