Army-list ideas for Warhammer 40,000 (11th Edition), Tyranids. Model roster, painted status, and datasheet links live on the Roster page — this page is just about building a playable list.

Reference: Wahapedia — Tyranids (11th Edition) for datasheets, official Munitorum Field Manual for points.

Von Ryan’s Leapers	55p / 105p	3 / 6 models
Barbgaunts	55p / 110p	5 / 10 models
Tyranid Warriors — melee	75p / 150p	3 / 6 models (1 Prime + 2–5 Warriors) — 4 owned doesn’t map cleanly

Termagants	60p / 110p	10 / 20 models
Screamer-Killer	125p / 135p	1st–2nd unit / 3rd+ — fielded off the Carnifexes datasheet, own separate points-manual price
Carnifexes (plain loadout)	90p / 180p	1 / 2 models — cheaper than the Screamer-Killer loadout on the same datasheet
Winged Tyranid Prime	65p	Leader — Tyranid Warriors or Gargoyles

Unit	Points	Notes
Hive Tyrant	195p	winged variant is a separate, cheaper unit at 185p
Hormagaunts	70p / 120p	10 / 20 models
Deathleaper	80p	Epic Hero, can’t be Warlord
Raveners	125p / 135p	sold in 5s only, price steps up from 3rd unit
Tyrannofex	180p / 190p
Tervigon	160p
Trygon	140p	Trygon Prime is a 20p enhancement, but only available in the Subterranean Assault detachment

Notes / Ideas
#

Neurogaunts are cheap synapse-range extension for the Neurotyrant — solid include at almost any points level.
Termagants → wishlist Hormagaunts is the troop/swarm core; a Tervigon (wishlist) would keep Termagants topped up if the collection grows that way.
Broodlord currently has no Genestealer unit sized to actually attach to in a clean list — worth planning which Genestealers split (5s or 10s) pairs with it.
Neurotyrant or wishlist Hive Tyrant as the single big synapse/psychic piece — likely not both at this collection’s size, same logic Tzeentch used for its big single-caster choice.
Von Ryan’s Leapers are the fast ambush element; Lictor plays a similar infiltrate/objective role solo.
Screamer-Killer is still its own named, separately-priced loadout (125p/135p) on the Carnifexes datasheet — pricier than the plain Carnifex loadout (90p/180p) it shares a datasheet with.
Winged Tyranid Prime is a cheap (65p) Leader for Tyranid Warriors — worth attaching once a Warriors squad size is settled.

Starting sketches, not locked lists yet — ported from an earlier working tracker and recalculated against the official Munitorum Field Manual v1.2 points. Not yet built or checked in NewRecruit, unlike the verified brackets on the Tzeentch project.

Current datasheet sells in 5s or 10s — 22 doesn’t map cleanly onto any combination, worth deciding how to split for list-building.

Screamer-Killer

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Fielded off the Carnifexes datasheet — Screamer-Killer isn’t a separate rules document, but it is its own separately-priced, separately-named entry in the current points manual (a specific wargear loadout), not the same cost as a plain Carnifex.

Tyranid Warriors

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Now two separate 11th-edition datasheets — Melee Bio-weapons and Ranged Bio-weapons — each sold as 1 Tyranid Prime + 2–5 Warriors (3 or 6 models total). The 4 owned don’t map cleanly onto either model count; worth deciding whether to add/remove a model or just proxy at 3 for games.
