Tyranids Hive Fleet of DOOOM!!!

Copying my Tyranid list from the old forum to here:

HQ
Hive Tyrant - Armored Shell, TW Devourers, Old Advesary, Bonesword & Lashwhip
2 Tyrant Guard - Lashwhips
1 Tervigon - Catalyst, Toxic Sacs, Cluster Spines, Adrenaline Glands

ELITES
3 x 2 Hive Guards

TROOPS
1 Tervigon - Catalyst, Toxic Sacs, Cluster Spines, Adrenaline Glands
10 Termagants

HEAVY SUPPORTS
3 Trygons - Adrenaline Glands

Total: 1750pts

In anticipation of the new Tyranid wave, I'm gonna get a HiveTyrant/Swarmlord kit.

Since I already have a Forgeworld Hive Tyrant, I plan to make it as my Flyrant by using the wings from the kit.

Next I will make a Swarmlord. I always like the fluff on him among all the Nids special characters.

Is a waste not to play such beautiful (Flyrant) and cool (Swarmlord) models. Therefore I have changed my list to have both.

This army has +2 to reserve roll. I can put everything in reserve and 2nd turn 2+ to come in.
Hive Tyrant and Swarmlord will support each other. Tervigon can re-roll outflank targeting the weakest side of the opponent.
What do you all think?

I would say, weak against space wolves or dark eldar or anything that can overrun you. Considering your two hqs and hiveguards are going to be deployed on turn 1 or you want to put them in reserve, they will pick those out first. Second, you would have a hard time be reaching units inside terrain. Maybe you should add a tervigon to get more guns.

I kinda know how your list works, it just needs more range power and the small ones.

thanks for the thought and i do agree on the bad matchup against DE and SW.
then again, we are talking about nids here. they are the underdogs! lol. why so serious? if can win against them would be a bonus. haha!

my original list had 2 tervigons, they are not scary and just creating nuinsance to ppl. not to mention if the game is KP, is a bit waste of the points taking 2nd tervigon.
this is not from theory but from actual many play testing with them.

apologies for writing too much. It's a norm for me and I'm not being serious, just formally giving an opinion, unless you just want me to go 'your tyranids' pew pew not enough, more onomnom of doooom~~' I'd be fine with that too.

Jokes aside, so you've play tested the second list? I'm curious as to the result because my original plan was similar.

2nd list pending for the new hive tyrant kit to make my swarmlord.
will target to playtest 2nd list by end of March.

what happened to all your hive guards? they are so powderful now la~

Last time got 9. Sold 3 to Zaki.
My 1st list still got 2 units of 3 Hive Guards.
Latest list need to sacrifice them for the Swarmlord.

Can't wait to get my Swarmlord kit to test this list out! >.<

Alvin, faster la!

stock stuck at custom...

yea, just got an update from Alvin. haha.
come Yip, my nids and your wolves have some unsettled score.
everything i always get JAAWS. now with the proper model, i think my luck will change.

your list gay lar. i dun have enough JAWs for u. only 2 nia.

where got gay? my list if other ppl see will say cannot play wan coz so few model count.

if wanna do gay list, i'll built a list with heavy warrior list dy lor.

If yip dont want to play fight you.. i will.

how about it.

heavy warriors (which are T4 non-eternal warrior) list? this i like. my long fangs with 15 missile launchers and land speeders welcome u. LOL

hahaha.. sure.

i just gave my list some thought and to further improve the list capabilities, i'm swapping out a Trygon for a brood of 7 Genestealers lead by a Broodlord.
Since I'll only need to come in on 2+ and able to re-roll my Outflank, why not take full advantage of it by playing Genestealers right? Furthermore, they are TROOP choice.

That list looks more deadly compared to the one before. Should try it out.

I wanna fight this! When can?

haha.... after i can get the new hive tyrant kit from alvin and at least finish assembling it. the rest of the models are available.

I had a game with this latest list yesterday at Forge.

1st game was against Alvin's Death Company army.
Mission: Capture and Control
Highlights:
- Despite 2+ to come in, 1 Trygon and 1 Hive Guard unit were both not in. Trygon went down first on the following turn.
- Alvin's army was separated into half as he sent 1 stormraven with its cargo attacking my swarmlord, flyrant, tervigon side. His other stormraven on his other side got greedy and was using its missiles to shoot the first trygon, so didn't move much.
- I then got lucky with my Hive Guards shot down his shooting stormraven, causing his cargo to footslog.
- I further delay his reinforcement by sending a sacrificial Hive Guard baiting them to move away from my main force.
- 2nd trygon came out and was easily took down by his 1st stormraven's cargo.
- But I had Flyrant, Swarmlord and 11 Termagants assaulting them. I first cast paroxysm on the death company. Then my Swarmlord grant furious charge on the Termagants which has Poison Attack from a nearby Tervigon. My flyrant itself has Old Adversary which grants Preferred Enemy within 6" to my units. Cool synergy right? The Death Company was wiped out.
- Win for the Nids!


Thoughts on the list:
- Thinking of changing the Hive Guards to a unit of 3 Zoans on a pod for better tank hunting.

Now that cool.. havent seen your nidz in action for awhile.

yea, the termagants were like supergants.
they all have re-roll to hit with Preferred Enemy. Then re-roll to wound at S4 poison attacks. (due to Furious Charge)

supergant i have seen..nasty indeed.

Hey.. you said cannot come this week. You tricked me!
My DE should've raid the Forgeworld on Sunday.

last min thing bro.
