Default Number of hive tyrants

Right, ive looked in the tyranid codex, and i cant find any limit on the amount of hive tyrants available per army. I have heard from somewhere that there is a amaximum of 2, but is this true?

well the maximum HQ choice for any full sized army (1.5 to 2k) is 2 HQ slots.
each tyrant and its retinue is 1 slot, so yeah 2 tyrants

There are of course bigger games with more than one force organisation chart. Think of the size of the swarm

And for the price of a Hive Tyrant you can get about 5 Warriors, which means more wounds, more attacks and greater Synapse coverage!
Just a thought!

But with lower toughness, lower strength, not monstrous, lower armour save and they just aren't garunteed killers in combat (though they are very good at it)

True-I shall have to try out a few theories on the battlefield to see which preforms best for a certain points value (going from basic un-biomorphed through to to fully tooled versions of each)

generally, fully tooled-up is never a good idea as it's simply a huge pts sink! with a hive tyrant, it's even worse because of just how critical synapse is for the tyranid army...

nastiest tyrant i've yet seen in action is the "quick-draw" tyrant with 2x twin-linked devourers, enhanced senses, toxin sacs & psychic scream for the added psychological effect!
fairly cheap pst wise and still decent in assault when supported with pretty much anything. queenie will dish out 12 shots each turn and will re-roll missed to-hit rolls & to-wound rolls!!! (even meq's will die in droves under that kind of firepower.)

oh, and adding on wings is simply being cruel to your poor opponent!

cheers!

Stitch.. For once I am even going to have to agree with you! That is nasty, and with wings I can feel my army running to hide under Slaaneshs Satin Throne.
