Agreed on the Hormagaunts.
Termagants are great for support and even help you get more attacks in an assault. They can be used to fill gaps in coherency between the infiltrating Hormagaunts and the slow Synapse creatures while still getting an attack.
Going into more detail would be helpful. Especially since we can then explain uses for units that you might perceive as weak and or useless.
My regular opponent is Guard and having played 9-10 games against him we are now starting to even out in terms of wins. I use a common brood heavy list and have found the key to winning is in not over extending the swarms.
We will list out the details soon, just compiling our information. By the way one of my regular oppponents has Tyranids as well and we both try and figure out the strenghts and weaknesses of the army.
So you play a common heavy brood list, please post what you use.
Here was my last 3000 point list we tried out:
3 x Nexus Group
2 x Hive Tyrants
8 x Hormagaunts broods
2 x Raveners brood
2 x six Genestealers
2 x three Lictors
Hydraphant
Hierodule
Haruspex brood
Carnifex brood
Trygon
Dactylis brood
The list before that was:
Dominatrix
Vituperator
2 x Hive Tyrant
6 x termagaunt broods
3 x hormagaunt broods
1 x Gargoyle brood
1 x eight Genestealer brood
1 x Lictor Brood
Hydraphant
Haruspex brood
2 x Dactylis brood
Trygon
Couple of key notes that we found makes things very difficult for the Tyranid player:
No fliers, minimul AAA against enemy fliers, basically no shooting at all, each list the army gets less and less. The Bio-Titans die very quickly so very hard to take down enemy Titans.
We will continue to try the list and will post more results soon.
