Another OFCC list for guidance (Tyranids)

[Dark Trainer]

So, my 4th player is also new to OFCC . He made a Tyranids list. What I noticed early on is 2 battlalions for 13cp, but also over 100 models (so might hurt to get games finished). My main question is do you feel overpowering or fair for OFCC?

looks fine to me!

Pretty standard list these days. i like all the genestealers.

Yeah, no problem with it here. Nice to see a Combat Flyrant again.

My thought exactly

Ever seen starship troopers?

Bug tactics tend to rely on lots of models dying to shooting before they make melee. 100+ models is pretty normal. Might even be low model count.

Downside for tournaments is mainly having more models to paint and more to transport. Tyranids aren't as bad as DE, but they are still one of the hardest to transport model lines.

Good luck to your player.

Looks like both are the same hive fleet, I'm cool.

As for the CP... A single brigade is 15 and is encouraged through achievements. This list isn't looking to make some combo just lots of bodies which is right for nids.
