-----------------------------------------------------------


So this is my first game with my Nids (I have tried out Tyranids once in a 1k game).

I feel like I should have more synapse, but I might be ok, got 2 units of warriors, a zoe and the Hive Tyrant, I actually considered getting the Norn crown but it's so expensive I could almost fit another Zoanthrope instead!

The 2 Carnifexes are my main anti tank unit, with the Tyrannofexes being able to help out a little and the zoe could potentially warp lance something. Other than that it's mostly infantry mulching with Acid spray, Warriors, Hormagaunts and Termagants.

The Skytyrant formation works like this: A hive tyrant with wings joins two units of Gargoyles. They all become one unit and the Tyrant can make look out sir rolls on a 2+ to the Gargs. Pretty sweet, he can't fly but it's a faster alternative of a melee Tyrant over the Tyrant guard. And the Gargoyles can blind enemies in combat which miiiiight be nice if they pull it off. Going up against Astra Militarum on sunday so instead of boneswords I gave him a stranglethorn cannon.
