Below you will find quickplay army lists for Alien Hives from Grimdark Future.

Note: as v3.4.1 is in constant development the following might not be accurate.

Combat Patrol (1000pts)

This is a v3.4.1 list you can build using the Combat Patrol: Tyranids box from Games Workshop, or any other models of your choice.

The Prime Warrior and Shadow Leapers are Ambush units and should pair up to hit a vehicle or heavy infantry unit, respectively. The Shooter Grunts are extremely resilient and will have to be killed off completely before they stop being a danger to an objective - one unit has a Sniper weapon for dealing with any medics or special weapon carriers. Hive Guardians are probably best to sit down on a central objective and just Hold and hope for exploding 6s. their weapons are fairly short ranged but the objective they camp on will have to be moved toward eventually, so it isn't too much of a downside. They can deal with the last few wounds on a vehicle if your Warrior and Leapers failed to deal with it.

No real fancy buffs here. Good for a younger or more inexperienced player to pilot, as kids love bugs (and thus every kid loves Tyranids), and "push models towards enemy" is a nice, straightforward army concept.
