So I won the tyranid codex in a tourny the other day. I'm going to get the Battleforce and then build from that.
500 point list:
HQ:
Tyranid prime - 2x Boneswords, Death Spitter = 95
Troops:
3 x Warriors - 2 x Boneswords, Venom Cannon, 2x Deathspitters = 145
8 x Genestealers - Toxin sacs = 136
15 x Hormagaunts - Toxin Sacs = 120
496 Points
Tactics: Genestealers outflank or infiltrate, Prime goes with warriors that stay behind the hormies for synapse and cover. Those two units are deployed as far forward as possible.
750 Point list:
HQ:
Tyranid prime - 2x Boneswords, Death Spitter, Regeneration = 105
Elites:
2x Zoanthropes = 1xx
Troops:
4 x Warriors - 2 x Boneswords, Venom Cannon, 3x Deathspitters, Toxin sacs = 210
8 x Genestealers - Toxin sacs = 136
16 x Hormagaunts - Toxin Sacs = 128
Heavy Support:
Biovore = xx
744 points
Tactics: Biovore stays up the back bombing units, Stealers outflank, hopefully on to weak flank, Zoanthropes deploy around cover and Hormies stick near them for counter charge. Warriors attack same side as stealers [I know stealers are outflanking but the warriors will be around the middle and by attack that might mean just shooting]

They're the lists. Thanks in advance for any comments and advice.
