Hi,
I'm going to play my first match with Tyranids. If somebody would share his favourite tactics and / or army constellations i would be pleased. Please if you post armies don't take too many points! I only have access to 2 Titans, 2 Dominatrix and so on . A 5000 Point army would be fine.
Thanks
Rommel

Tyranids are a horde army. Rush them forward with a fodder screen of cheap units to absorb punishment for the tougher CC units right behind. It doesn't get too much more
complicated.
Always use big huge hordes of cheap infantry. Use the bigger pieces sparingly.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi!
Add some harridans with gargoyles attached to it and use them as a shock force. Drop them far behind enemy lines and attack vulnerable artillery or vehicles. Since they have wounds they are almost guarnateed to get where they need to go.
Combine this with bio-pods and its a nasty surprise!

Thanks for your tips,
I think it is not easy to win with tyranids. They are really slow, at least the core of your army. The enemy has firepower en mass and will shoot my infantry to pieces. I know this, because I've done this more than one time before. The titans are very agile but stand alone with their speed !! Harridans may really be a good idea.

The 'Nids don't have a lot of units with ranged weapons, those units and Harridans, would be my first choice followed by C/Cbt troops, based on the rule system you use ... shoot first ask questions later ...  And of course, C/Cbt forces do better in closed terrain, like urban, jungles, etc ...
