Just a quick question, but the tyranid list doesn't seem to have the prerequisite "1/4 of points being common brood". Unless I misunderstand some rules it seems there is only enough basic infantry (hormies, termies, gargs, and raveners) for just over 2000 points.
I didn't check the points values when I wrote the list, as I was in a hurry and did not know the list by heart. I felt limited by the availability of models: Hena does not have too many basic infantry figures for the 'nids. If I could have, I'd have included Raveners and would've considered a third big inf swarm instead of the second Dactylis brood.
Turn 1 shows my basic idea pretty well: produce too many targets (the three GS groups and teleporting Lictors) for the Marines. Even when I lose the initiative on turn 2, I can still engage effectively with stealers and/or Lictors. I paid no attention to force protection. The idea was simply to engage for effect at the start of turn 2. The report will show how this worked...
