I played 1500 points against a tyranid army with a spore minefield. man those things pump out the blood tithe points. I had first turn and had 7 points turn two (daemon prince) and 8 turn 3 (thirster), I summoned flesh hounds turn 4 and blood crushers turn 6. Also with the formation special rule, I also had feel no pain all turns but 1 and 5.
