How are you using the swarmlord in this army? He is best suited to flinging himself or genestealers across the field.
Also tyranids have exceptional shooting with the exocrine and biovores that few want to miss out on.
>>
>>54314327
The Swarmlord is included to add a turn 1 charge threat; would a different HQ be more suited to this list?
I like the biovores, but the exocrine seems hella expensive at 228 points...

>>54314151
Explain how you intend to kill tanks and aircraft.

>using characters and superheavies at 1500 pts.
>>
>>54314151
just take 45 genestealers, 2 broodlords and a trygon

>>54314908
>No superheavies in that list at all
>Every HQ choice in every army is a character

Huge Issue. Considering dropping in forgeworld stonecrusher carnifex to help with vehicles. Tyrannofex with rupture cannon seems overcosted considering BS4+
>>54314908
Swarmlord might be a bit much, but Deathleaper is there to deal with problem support characters such as crypteks and techpriests
>>54314929
in all seriousness how effective would genestealers be from a Trygon considering they cant take adrenal glands?
>>
>>54314982
Put your swarmlord in a tyrannocyte and have hive drop next to the genestealers as they come up and use his magic powers to make them move in the shooting phase for a guaranteed turn 1 change.
>>
>>54315066
Also hive guard are fucking great.
>>
>>54315068
That's > 800 points investment just for a turn 1 charge, seems difficult to justify. I can only target 1 squad on the charge, they can fall back in their turn and then I have to hope they dont have enough shots to reduce my trygon and swarmie to uselessness.
>>
>>54314935
>No superheavies in that list at all
and / or should I have said
>>
>>54315134
impaler cannons or shock cannons?

Swarmlord is great in the 1500+ point range so he can stay. You just have to remember to abuse his movement rules to charge 42 inches. Exocrine is probably not best as such a low point list but biovores can be slotted in pretty well. Also you should be very worried about synapse as you only have the shrikes and the swarmlord.
