Hive Tyrant...Whats good for the second one???

[Pudgefan]

Ok so in my army I am playing 2 Hive Tyrants in my army. My first one has wings and a 2 pairs of scything talons, wings, and some other stuff. Now for my other one I am not exactly sure what to all put on it. Do I do scything talons or a lashwhip and bone sword? And then what gun would you think I should give him? Also are tyrant guards worth taking or not worth the points? Thanks

if its a high points game (or you know your facing abbodon) tyrant guard are awesome as u hit them with catalyst. flying hive tyrants rock and scare the hell out o your opponents so remember he'll be the first to be shot at so its a good idea to give him warp field. As for the one with the gun u can never go wrong with a venom cannon. twin linked dev's are nice but at 18" range generally means he may have to expose himself and while tyrant gaurd are nice they dont protect from blast weapons

Lash whips is the way to go

I find myself lately likeing the combination of the 2x twin-linked devourers, warp field and wings. this variation is very adapted at flying around and shooting the hell out of anything that moves, i'm talking about 12 twinlinked shots that hit on 4's and are strength 6 re-rolling all wounds. Plus if really need it you can charge any vehicle with 4 attacks from a monstrous creature. the second tyrant I would consider a set of scything talons. Make the second one cheap and run him were the synapse is needed. the flying one will kill and be killed and the second one will be somewhat ignored and will keep the synapse alive. a venom cannon on a hive tyrant i feel is sorta a waste it's most powerful when attached to a carnifex were it can lob its shots at strength 9.

Read my Tactica Here. There are really only 3 types worth taking, the Flyrant (which you have) the Dakka Tyrant and the VC/BS Tyrant. what are you lacking? Long range or Close range support. Use the VC/BS for the former, the Dakka Tyrant for the latter.
