Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Tyranids (section)

===Specific Strategies===
*'''I Have No Friends!'''
**In a 500 point battle bring a Trygon Prime and 2 mawloc which all 3 come together for 425 points. Sneak a 10 model Termagant squad for a troop choice and you have a perfect legal 500 point patrol, with three 14 wound toughness 7 giant snakes. Have fun.

*'''Hive tyrant mortal wound bomb'''
** Take your hive tyrant, give em reaper and adrenals, get him into charge range. Pop trampling charge and adrenal surge. Your tyrant is now doing  at minimum 3+6-8 mw to the target (provided you hit your attacks) with the potential to do 14mw if all goes perfect. Enjoy eating half a knight before they even roll saves. 

*'''Harlequins'''
**'''The Deepest Shadow''' 9th Editions starting 12 command points has seen the laughing gods servants becoming the big bad with their insane strats and Psychic Powers making them fast, invincible and constantly running in and out of combat but Tyranids are probably their worse match up.
***Running a Patrol of Kronos or your Swarm as Kronos gives you access to the Kronos Strat 'The Deepest Shadow'. This means any psyker within 24" of a Kronos UNIT can only roll psychic tests on ONE D6. Placing a Kronos Rippers at the front of your deployment and using this Strat will help prevent the Shadowseer getting off Twilight pathway (wc6) which means they can move again leading to the massive First Turn Alpha strike Harlequins do. If they try it and fail, it can leave their bikes in the open. It also helps stop Fog of dreams (wc6) -1 to shooting on a unit and flat out prevents Veil of Tears (wc7) -1 shoot against a unit, Shard of Light (wc7) D3 mortals and Webway Dance (wc7) 6+ Feel No Pain. This strat along with Shadow of the Warp when they get close will seriously mess up their day. If you opponent gets desperate you can also use 'Psychic Fissure' from Blood of Baal so that if a Psyker fails a Psychic Test they take D3 mortal wounds.
**Along with a Zoanthrope / Neurothrope heavy army which ignores their 3+/4+ Invulnerable with their smites. Try to have some Gaunts as meat shields to protect your thropes turn one with Leviathans Feel no Pains and maybe Catalyst. Add some high volumes of fire from double shooting Hive Guards who don't need line of sight (all without the -minuses to hit) and a Mawloc or 2 for 'Unexpected Incursion' on their troops holding points and the army quicks disappears.
