One of the main thing tyranids lack are invulnerable saves. So we rely on cover saves. Get him a brood of 3 venomthropes (the new box from GW is great) and he can make 3 units of 1, they give...
There are a bunch of issues with this list.
If you take the vox caster in the PCS, you need it in the squad you want to give orders to as well or it does nothing. You may want to hit the...
Here is my standard list that is similar to yours. It has anti tank, anti air, anti infantry, it has regular infantry to bubble wrap tanks/units in the case of deep striking armies. I normally...
Aegis defence lines can't be destroyed by shooting so they are still pretty good. Take a comms relay and you can reroll your reserves, that is pretty sweet.
2 fun/solid lists.
MC spam:
HQ 1 Flyrant with DD
1 Flyrant with DD
H 1 Carnifex with DD
1 Carnifex with DD
1 Carnifex with DD
T 11 Termagaunts

Fire with the TL'd scatter laser first, sure its hitting on 6's but you get 4 shots and then 4 rerolls to get one 6. Then if you do get that one 6 the serpent shield and its bottom guns are twin...
Your army would get torn apart by anything with 2+ riptides, 2+ wraithlords, imperial knights would give you problems, heck even nid MC spam would be tough. A 2nd vendetta would do great against all...
Get them camo cloaks as well! That way you have 3+ if you get cover, 4++ if not. They are also 12/12/10 so its not bad vs. S7. If you really want to go crazy, get a void shield for them as well....
Is the Baneblade the only variant you have? I much prefer the hellhammer. Its half the range, a slightly smaller blast, but its higher strength means it can instant kill T5 models and it ignores...
You could dump the walking vets with plasma. They are going to get murdered before they are in range anyways in the list you have right now. I would take the plasma off the vanq, if anything chance...
You might want to get an aegis to take full advantage of the camo nets, plus to give your guard more chances at getting a save. Do you expect there will be lots of terrain already? You could also...
Yep depends on the game and the setup, plus who is going first. If I am going first I almost always leave them on the table to not lose a turn of their firepower. Plus you can hide them in a ruin...
Assuming your army doesn't have twin linked, or is spread-out so that 1-2 of the units will be shooting at its side as it advances up which means less AV and shield choices. If it hangs back...
Superheavies and Knights are a whole different story. My old marine army I used to take 3 units of devastators with 4 missiles, that should be enough to glance a knight to death in 1-2 turns I would...
What about a unit of 3 war walkers with dual bright lances? Outflank and then come in to wreck the Tau face. Good vs. vehicles and vs. T4 units with multiple wounds.
7th even more than 6th is about glancing vehicles to death instead of counting on blowing them up with one shot. If you want to blow them up in one shot take meltas in drop pods etc. Missiles are...
If those are pretty much all the models you have, not much advice we can give you on what to bring. However, for next things to get, venomthropes would be good to give your army shrouded as it...
I like the list as vehicles got a nice boost in 7th. I agree you should put pask in a punisher as he was built for it! I also like the manticore over the death missile, just because you get between...
Zoans are ML2, so his list has 10 warp dice, that's a lot for most armies! Should be enough to get a few powers off at key times.
I don't love harpies in the new rules so I would suggest dropping it and maybe 1 genestealer and get 4 units of a single biovore. :) In 7th all you need to do to get a second FOC is to take 2 HQ and...
I am playing in a league soon with IG as my main and 2 sets of nid allies and both have rippers with DS for that exact reason! :) Dis is what I'm talkin' bout!
Any chance we are going to see an update to these tactics for 7th ED? Sure some things didn't change much at all, others changed a lot. For example, I love my dakkaflyrants even more now. Much...
Don't forget that flamers are now much better vs. open topped vehicles. Just a small boost to pyrovores. Works well with the crones flamer as well.
If only nids could get endurance! Rippers!
