Note that Tyrant Guard aren’t SYNAPSE creatures; in fact they have Instinctive Behaviour and will want a little support from Tyranid Warriors or a Commander to ensure they’re not forced to charge the closest model.

Select Post; ... but as I’ve been away from nids for a while I wanted to get some advice on how any kill team players have found to build a list.

I'm going to be GMing a narrative Kill Team campaign and one of the players is probably going to be playing Tyranids, and I wanted some sensible goals for his strike force of bugs stranded on a world. I can't recommend them for most lists in good faith, but they might be worth consideration in lists with minimal investment in the more expensive Tyranid units. TAC kill team lists are not very useful because you get to customize your kill team based on your opponents faction.
