[2000] Tyranids - Alpha Warrior

[akaiyou]

I got murdered terribly with my assault heavy list, but returned the favor when using my 2nd test list which had 3 devilfexes and tyranid primes with regen to soak up wounds. The venomthropes were super useful as support giving me shrouded. So i revised the list to maximize it a bit. The goal is to have the tyranid primes join which over units I feel will be key, likely to be the venomthrope or the carnifexes to make sure they survive longer.

The original version of this list had 3 venomthropes as 1 unit which was durable but forced me to keep units together which made them bait for blasts.

Warrirors had no AG and never got to see combat, but the shrouded did improve their durability against the weapons that typically murder them.

No broodlors just 1 large squad of 15 stealers to infiltrate/outflank

Tyrannofexes had AG and TS, the adrenal glands were useful in getting them in range faster, the toxin sacs were largely useless tho
