did you start playing on a bigger board?
With 3 monsterous bugs that can charge you on TURN 1, I would figure your opponents would not want to play with you anymore.

I am pretty sure it would be difficult for you to lose on a 4x4 with 1500 points of bugs. With just about any army design. I suggest taking some Pyrovores. I am pretty sure if you filled out your...

Tyranids are probably going to win most of the time on a 4x4 board, even without terrain! Mostly because you can start so close to your opponent, and that they can't run away.

pinning... I don't remember devourers causing pinning... Is that a flying monsterous creature rule?

That's all good. 1 piece at a time! Have fun. 1750 is a fair amount of points. You should start seeing some interesting firepower coming out of other armies that might make you adjust what you...

true, you can get a bunch of guys doing that!

hehehe... 3 tervigons usually implies a horde!

Now, this is starting to get to the point where it is becoming extremely difficult for your opponent to prioritize their targets. I like this list. Not my cup of tea, but I like it. You have the...

Your over confidence comes from just your writing on what you would do. But what you would do completely depends on many factors.

For example: blood angels whirlwinds will probably be able to...

zzzZZZzzzzzZZZZzzzz

You clearly haven't actually faced these things.
Deny the witch is not the only way to deny psychic powers. Nor is the possibility that your tyrants get to shoot the...

You miss the point. The devastators are NOT for the monsterous creatures. Neither are the whirlwinds. They kill gribblies, and they kill them fast.

TH/SS terminators can handle those big...

Heavy Bolter Devastators. 2 Whirlwinds. Simple Heavy Support, but great for swarms.

Then Heavy Hitter Squads. Terminators are my choice, for this situation. You get 10 Thunder Hammer...

I disagree that the strangleweb is weak.
It is a cheap upgrade for the unit, hits multiple opponents, and causes pinning. What's not to like about it?

A prime is a seriously wicked character killer, and is a great addition to a warrior squad. Give him a Lashwhip and bonesword, toxin sacs, and adrenal glands, and he's great for calling out those...

yes. I agree, the Strangleweb is an awesome weapon that no one uses.

Raveners are a good choice for the army you have. Tyranids are really about synergies, because there are so few units that by themselves work well. It is about force multipliers and target...

Another 1000 point BA list I like to use:
This is "my flyer is better than your flyer" list. And, it is. Most 1000 point lists only have ~1 flyer, and the Stormraven usually will trounce that...

I recommend pinning. That way you don't need to use the support. if you use 2 pins you can make a joint that is incredibly strong, and will support itself while glue is drying.



Hmmmm... with...

I really like the tervigon/tyrannofex kits and the hive tyrant kits. I was so stoked when those came out!


I do find bugs a rewarding army to collect. I have been collecting mine since the...

Well,it's a start, but I'd fall asleep playing that list after 4 games.

Yeah.

I have a giant bitz box. Like, for example, I bought the city sector set. I haven't built a building, but instead, I use it to base models, add bitz to things, etc.

The other thing...

well, I would hold off, at the moment, with the wings. keep collecting until you get ideas for what to do with the wings. It is much easier to covert a start from scratch model than it is to covert...

I would swap one set of Ymgarls for 3 Hive Guard.

I would drop one tervigon. Combine the termagants into one squad.
Use the 195 points on something else. get some genestealers, maybe toxin...

You gotta understand, the Hive Tyrant is NOT cheap. And things like Implant Attack combined with Bonesword and Lashwhips incrementally add up.

Then chance of rolling a 6 to wound is 1 in 6. ...

If you are seriously interested in adding firepower to the Tyrant, take a Thorax Swarm. Template weapons work great, if you get a shooty power, you now get three guns. Oh, and you'll mess up...
