This is going to be a slightly off list as I’ve only played ‘Nids a couple of times.
It seems to me that there are two ways to go for this list: hoard or reliable and so my first list is going to stick to reliable.
- HQ: Tyranid Prime
- Troop: 15 Genestealers
- Troop: 15 Genestealers
Now this force has a slight problem with being a bit dull and not at all effective until it’s in base to base with the enemy, but at that point the enemy is probably about to be very dead.
My other force, and one I think I prefer, goes for the hoard army angle and manages to beat the Ork total of 61 models quite handily:
- HQ: Tervigon with Toxin sacks and Catalyst
- Troop: 21x Termagants
- Troop: 21x Termagants
- Troop: 21x Termagants
That’s 3 more troops on the board at the start of the game than the Orks, and more coming from the Tervigon every turn until you run out of luck. Lots of weak shooting, poisoned attacks in close combat if you are close enough to the Tervigon and feel no pain from catalyst when it’s needed.
I think I’ll go with the second list as it feels more Tyranid to me.
