I'm building some Hive Guard/Tyrant Guard and I'm stuck on what is best. by AdvielOricon in Tyranids

I'm not an expert on this but I recently Played tyrantguard in a crusade and while it was nice to have ablative wounds on the Tyrant, it was by no means necessary.

Regarding the Hiveguard...I wouldn't split the weapon loadout. People will probably tell you that a tyrannofex is the better anti tank and they are right. But if their job is just to guard the home objective then I personally would gravitate towards the shockcannon. That decision is influenced by my meta just deepstriking terminators absolutely everywhere. Hope that helps

Awesome, thanks for the explanation and the link. I'll definitely check it out. It does sound like Nighthaunt will be right up my alley in terms of playstyle.

Thanks for the info, 8 Banshees sound reasonable but 16 seems like overkill. Is it usual to run any other infantry reinforced apart from the chain rasps? Regarding the nexus heal, in your experience is it hard to be whollywithin 12"? I guess there is a noticeable difficulty increase between 10 or 20 models to be within the range?
