Some background on me. I play (try to collect) all factions. Tyranids is my favorite (1st love) and personally like to believe it is the faction I'm most skilled at using. I won a very local tournament using them and I find that I can build solid Tyranid lists though I prefer building my lists to a theme in general not always aiming to be a tournament winner.

Game Plan: This army is geared towards having lots of shooting from the termagants and sneaking in a very mean old one eye into the enemy lines and mawlocs to distract. The Swarmlord is there to facilitate units getting in close with Hive Commander. It's a more balanced list compared to my pure shooty nids makes use of powerful fight phase stratagems aswell to deal lots of damage.
