I have a game on Wednesday and I am unsure which army style to use. I have 6.5k of crons so choices are pretty open though I dont have pariahs.
so the options are:-
1)Lord, spyders, lith, WARRIORS
2)20 warriors, destroyer lord or 2 and then destroyers
3)My usual army which is a full wraith wing with destroyer orb lord, golden boy, lith and some warriors.
We are playing 1500 points and he will be using a warrior based nid army.
Suggestions please!!

Tyranid Warrior heavy eh?
I would say option 2. Something like this:
==HQ== Lord w/ destroyer body and lightning field (155)
==Troops== 10x Warriors (180) 10x Warriors (180)
==Fast== 3x Destroyers (150) 3x Destroyers (150) 2X Destroyers (100)
==Heavy== 3x Heavy Destroyers (195) 3x Heavy Destroyers (195) 3x Heavy Destroyers (195)
=======================TOTAL (1500)

Yes, I would take Destroyers too, they will rip through those Warriors like they were nothing.

I would ditch something and take a res orb because if those warriors have boneswords you will phase out.

they are taloned with guns. The main concern i have is the trygon that he has. never played with or against 1 of them.
The whole thing about a RO is not really needed as the toughness of destroyers will prevent instant death and i will be avoiding CC as much as possible so that means its just the shooting that I will have to deal with and hopefully that many gauss cannon and heavy gauss cannon shots will deal with the majority of stuff before it gets across the table.

Sorry for the double post.
I have gone for:
Lord with destroyer body and scythe
10 warriors x 2
4 desrtoyers x 3
2 heavy destroyers x 3
This means that he can only have 2 or 3 weapons that will negate my armour and thus prevent WBB He can only have 2 or 3 units that will not be on cover saves only if I shoot at them I basically have a range of 48" which is larger than any of his units
oh and by the way Ravix destroyers have a unit minimum of 3. LOL totally missed that 1st time round but my list is similar.

D'oh! My first list idea for you was 3x3 destroyers in addition to the 3x3 heavy destroyers. I re tallied the points before clicking "post reply" and realized I was 50 points over. My reflex response was to just take away one of the destroyers. This is what happens when you play Tyranids more than Necrons and your mind associates Hive Guard with Destroyers
