Xenith Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I'm not a hyper competitive player, nor do I like netlisting, but I do play to in, and feel like my nids have been suffering recently in the actually killing stuff game. It seems like they're outclassed by most other stuff. To that end, I thought it would be fun to compile some strong/tourney winning tyranids lists to see what they have in common, to help us all design better armies. John Lennon 1st Place Crucible October 2023 – Tyranids Spoiler Synaptic Nexus Strike Force (2000 Points) CHARACTERS Deathleaper (70 Points) Hive Tyrant (255 Points) • Warlord • 1x Monstrous bonesword and lash whip 1x Heavy Venom Cannon • Enhancements: Synaptic Control Neurotyrant (115 Points) • 1x Neurotyrant claws and lashes 1x Psychic scream • Enhancements: Power of the Hive Mind BATTLELINE Gargoyles (75 Points) • 10x Gargoyle Gargoyles (75 Points) • 10x Gargoyle OTHER DATASHEETS Biovores (75 Points) • 1x Chitin-barbed limbs 1x Spore Mine launcher Exocrine (135 Points) • 1x Bio-plasmic cannon 1x Powerful limbs Exocrine (135 Points) • 1x Bio-plasmic cannon 1x Powerful limbs Exocrine (135 Points) • 1x Bio-plasmic cannon 1x Powerful limbs Maleceptor (170 Points) • 1x Massive scything talons 1x Psychic overload Maleceptor (170 Points) • 1x Massive scything talons 1x Psychic overload Neurolictor (65 Points) • 1x Piercing claws and talons Neurolictor (65 Points) • 1x Piercing claws and talons Neurolictor (65 Points) • 1x Piercing claws and talons Pyrovores (30 Points) • 1x Chitin-barbed limbs 1x Flamespurt Pyrovores (30 Points) • 1x Chitin-barbed limbs 1x Flamespurt Zoanthropes (220 Points) • 1x Neurothrope • 5x Zoanthrope Zoanthropes (110 Points) • 1x Neurothrope • 2x Zoanthrope Shooty list with a bit of awkward to kill units and obkective scoring. Gargoyles are again a great unit, they move so fast and can snag objectives with OC20, and the lictors are great for the points - untargetable, 4++ etc, and throw out battleshock as a bonus. Many lists seem to take 3 of these, meaning they're ripe for an increase, same with exocrines. The problem is that they will get increased, but they're only spammed as in my opinion, the other stuff in the nids book is overpriced. The list seems to wait until they get something battleshocked, then use the neurolictor +1 to wound aura to then blast it to hell with the exocrines and maleceptors. Spammy, but shooty.
