Focslain Posted Thursday at 07:00 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:00 PM So as part of the current Call to Arms I decided to make a sizable dent in my back log and paint up as many Tyranids as I could as well as learn to use the army for this edition. I honestly have not touched this army since early 8th iirc. For the edition I was planning on doing either Assimilation or Endless Swarm. With the change to reinforcements however I’m definitely going Assimilation, maybe Invasion for certain builds. Below is a sample list that I’m going to try running. If you see any room for improvement I’m open for suggestions. swarm test (995 points) Tyranids Incursion (1000 points) Assimilation Swarm CHARACTERS Parasite of Mortrex (100 points) • 1x Barbed ovipositor 1x Clawed limbs • Enhancement: Regenerating Monstrosity Tervigon (185 points) • Warlord • 1x Massive scything talons 1x Stinger salvoes • Enhancement: Biophagic Flow (Aura) BATTLELINE Hormagaunts (130 points) • 20x Hormagaunt • 20x Hormagaunt talons Termagants (120 points) • 20x Termagant • 20x Chitinous claws and teeth 20x Fleshborer Termagants (120 points) • 20x Termagant • 20x Chitinous claws and teeth 20x Fleshborer OTHER DATASHEETS Neurolictor (90 points) • 1x Piercing claws and talons Psychophage (95 points) • 1x Psychoclastic torrent 1x Talons and betentacled maw Psychophage (95 points) • 1x Psychoclastic torrent 1x Talons and betentacled maw Pyrovores (35 points) • 1x Chitin-barbed limbs 1x Flamespurt Ripper Swarms (25 points) • 1x Chitinous claws and teeth Exported with App Version: v1.18.0 (46), Data Version: v434 Once I get another pyrovore I’m most likely going to drop the ripper swarm and Regeneration enhancement to fit it in. For large games I’m looking at adding more big boys to the list. swarm upgrade (1995 points) Tyranids Strike Force (2000 points) Assimilation Swarm CHARACTERS Broodlord (105 points) • 1x Broodlord claws and talons • Enhancement: Parasitic Biomorphology Parasite of Mortrex (80 points) • 1x Barbed ovipositor 1x Clawed limbs Tervigon (185 points) • Warlord • 1x Massive scything talons 1x Stinger salvoes • Enhancement: Biophagic Flow (Aura) BATTLELINE Hormagaunts (130 points) • 20x Hormagaunt • 20x Hormagaunt talons Termagants (120 points) • 20x Termagant • 20x Chitinous claws and teeth 20x Fleshborer Termagants (120 points) • 20x Termagant • 20x Chitinous claws and teeth 20x Fleshborer OTHER DATASHEETS Carnifexes (125 points) • 1x Carnifex crushing claws 1x Carnifex extra scything talons 1x Chitinous claws and teeth Genestealers (150 points) • 10x Genestealer • 10x Genestealers claws and talons Lictor (55 points) • 1x Lictor claws and talons Lictor (55 points) • 1x Lictor claws and talons Neurolictor (90 points) • 1x Piercing claws and talons Neurolictor (90 points) • 1x Piercing claws and talons Norn Emissary (275 points) • 1x Monstrous rending claws 1x Monstrous scything talons 1x Psychic Tendril Psychophage (95 points) • 1x Psychoclastic torrent 1x Talons and betentacled maw Psychophage (95 points) • 1x Psychoclastic torrent 1x Talons and betentacled maw Pyrovores (35 points) • 1x Chitin-barbed limbs 1x Flamespurt Tyrannofex (190 points) • 1x Powerful limbs 1x Rupture cannon 1x Stinger salvoes Exported with App Version: v1.18.0 (46), Data Version: v434 Point of the Parasite is to make ripper swarms to harvest other objectives. Basically have it follow a group and tail attack a soft target to make swarms. The other unit will hold the objective and allow the swarms to heal those units. If my opponent decides to target the rippers they are not attacking my other units. Only issue is if the parasite goes down, but once again, not attacking my other heavier units. Also plan to swap out the carnifex for a haruspex once I get one. I’ll add in any battle reports and fluff to this later, I did get in one game so far against my sister’s Kroot army and managed a close win. It broke down to my neurolictor managing to stop a sabotage action by killing the last 3 models of the unit. Had she scored that it would have been a tie.
