Tyrant...176pts
Wings, 2 Scything talons, Toxin Sacs, Warp field.

Tyrant...106pts
Bio-plasma, Extended carapace, Bonesword, Scything talons.

In both of these choices I must ask the question of why the 2+ save? There are more AP2 weapons than AP3, and thus, its not really worth the points unless the only form of tank hunting your enemy has is krak missiles.

Carnifex...158pts
Adrenal gland, Extended carapace, Spine Banks, Crushing claws, Scything talons.

Same problem with this guy. Also, though deadly CC 'fexes are usually that useful.

Carnifex...143pts (Gaunts can't hurt tanks can they?)
Enhanced senses, Spine banks, Venom cannon, Twin-linked Devourer.

Though you say this guy is a tank hunter... he really isn't, in fact, your best tank hunter is your Winged Tyrant. This guy is tooled for anti-personall. The best 'nid tank hunter is a 'fex twin-linked barbed strangler with ehnanced senses and toxin sacs, well at least IMHO.

Zoanthrope...45pts
Synapse

I dislike such, essiatlly "useless" zoanthropes... though i have never actually used them.

3 Warriors...135pts
Adrenal gland, Extended carapace, Flesh hooks, Leaping, Toxin sacs, Rending claws, Scything talons.

3 Warriors...135pts
Adrenal gland, Extended carapace, Flesh hooks, Leaping, Toxin sacs, Rending claws, Scything talons.

Both these squads are quite small. I would add an extra model, not only for scoring purposes

23 Gaunts...115pts
Spine fists

23 Gaunts...115pts
Spine fists

Two great squads... but perhaps even them out?

15 Gaunts...90pts
Fleshborers

15 Gaunts...90pts
Fleshborers

15 Gaunts...90pts
Fleshborers

Once again, great squads.

10 Hormagaunts...100pts.

love Hormagaunts.

So what ya think?

I've posted my opions of each unit as an indivual above... now for an overall look.

You have 5 Syanpse creatures for 6 gaunt squads and 2 'fexes... not ideal. You need more syanpse. How to do this? I would drop a warrior squad, add one warrior to your remaining squad and spend the rest of those points on 'thropes, cheap synpase beasties that you can scatter about your gaunts.

Also, you have little tankhunting. Though in 1500 this may or may not be a problem, against armor heavy armies you will have problems, most of your units can only take out AV10, not good. So I would suggest a better, more ovious ranged tankhunting 'fex. That, plus your Winged Tyrant should be good for this army.
