... against Chaos Daemons.
Game was pitched battle with Capture & Control. Daemons gave Tyranids first turn which was a good thing because with infiltraing Genestealers and fast Gargoyles on one flank the Daemons had to deep strike into the ramaining quarter of the table.
But then one deepstriking Trygon was lost an all went downhill. Better to start the Trygons on the table to attack the incoming warp creatures ....
About playing, building and painting Tyranids in Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 - a science-fiction miniature wargame. Tyranids are like the bugs in "Starship Troopers" with various big monsters and a lot of little buggers ...

Tyranids got slaughtered by Orks. Again ...
Against a 2000 points Ork horde consisting of 190 (!) models my Tyranids couldn't stand their ground and got tabled in round 5.
I guess the Hive Mind was asleep because I wasn't abel to play them as a whole, with synergy. Wasted units like the Gargoyles or the Trygon Prime assaulting alone 30 Orks ...
My list
* Alphakrieger w/ boneswords, scything talons, tox and regen
* 2x 2 Hive Guard
* 2 Venomthropes
* 10 Termagants
* Tervigon w/ adrenal, tox, Catalyst* 12 Genestealers w/ Broodlord
* 3 Warriors w/ tox, deathspitters, scything talons, venom cannon
* 3 Warriors w/ tox, deathspitters, scything talons, barbed strangler
* 20 Gargoyles w/ tox and adrenal
* 6 Raveners w/ rending claws
* 2 Trygons w/ adrenal, one prime
