Had an idea today about maxing out on raveners. 27 raveners with rending claws comes out to 945 points. That's a decent back bone for an army. Just got to watch out for those hidden power fists lol. From here all we need to add is some long range fire power, some troops (tervigons), and some out flanking goodness.

So there you go. 1995. It deploys like a brick, Everything should have cover as in true tyranid fashion. And stealers out flank to keep people from hugging their corner. The question is where does your S8 go? Tervies? Hive Guard? Raveners? Think its got potential?
I like the idea; don't forget that you can also have them deep strike (not that I probably would) as an added tactical flexibility. Might want to consider (dropping a tervigon and) fronting your brick with a pack of 20 infiltrated stealers with FNP... in cover, rather than outflanking - lets you control the center from the get-go. With ravs as counterchargers. Putting some zoans with spods in rather than HG to crack open AV14s and you've got an in-your face army that laughs at MSU and light mech.
