Hi everyone...

I toy with the idea of creating a Tyranid Army as my next project.
I just have absolutely no idea what to take. I really like the tyranid stories of massive armies of gaunts with synapse sprinkled in an a few monsters to do the hard hitting.
I came up with various lists but not one of them seems valid when playing vs IG and similar shooty armys. I always come back to lists of a few big monsters with a few gaunts to fill in... I dont like this but it seems the only way to construct a viable army nowadays.
Any ideas how I could field as many models (or more) as the typical infantery heavy IG while keeping enough punch to not get tabled in round 3?

My first thought

3x Trygon Prime + Endless Swarm Formation

Having 3 units of gaunts pouring out into your opponents backfield every turn while your heavy hitters move up!

What do ya think?

thats over 800 points in monsters (without any biomorphs) and you are not even able to deal with walkers or tanks properly.
