Biomorph Blues

It's been a bit of struggle but I have at last produced a couple of lists for my Tyranids using the new Codex in conjunction with my existing collection of buggies. I have come up with army lists for both 1000 point and 1500 point games so that I can at least begin testing out how the new rules function. I'm not too crazy right now about the smaller list as something about it doesn't feel right to me. It may just be that I didn't find room for any Elites choices as I usually like to have at least one unit from each category of the Force Organization Chart. Also the 1500 point lists just looks as though it would have more of the look and feel of my original 2000 point army using the previous edition of Codex: Tyranids. Nonetheless it's a good enough place for me to start. Here then are the two lists with which I plan on using in my first couple of games:

Hive Tyrant (230) Scything Talons x 2, Wings

Tyranid Warriors x 3 (105) Rending Claws

Genestealers x 10 (140)

Termagants x 10 (50)

Termagants x 10 (50)

Hormagaunts x 10 (60)

Hormagaunts x 10 (60)

Tyranid Shrikes x 3 (120) Rending Claws

Carnifex (185) Heavy Venom Cannon

Total = 1000 points, 9 Kill Points

Hive Tyrant (245) Scything Talons x 2, Implant Attack, Wings

Hive Tyrant (220) TL Devourers x 2, Regeneration

Lictor (65)

Zoanthropes x 2 (120)

Tyranid Warriors x 3 (105) Rending Claws

Genestealers x 10 (140)

Termagants x 12 (60)

Termagants x 12 (60)

Hormagaunts x 15 (90)

Hormagaunts x 15 (90)

Tyranid Shrikes x 3 (120) Rending Claws

Carnifex (185) Heavy Venom Cannon

Total = 1500 points, 12 Kill Points
