Tactics for the Tyranids:
When these bugs are utilized, use the terrain to your advantage. These bugs must be keep from fire squads or they will die very quickly.
Flank, Flank and Flank with 2 squads of these bugs is the best tactic anyone can employ. This will aid in keeping them alive and will also split the opposition in two. By splitting the opposition in two you can use the rest of your force to pick a way at their Elite's and HQ's. This tactic has been used many times with a high rate of success. Since everyone is deathly afraid of these bugs they can be used as bait and diversions.
Tactics against the Tyranids:
Like with any bug, keep your distance and shoot. Luckily there is not many of these buggers charging your way. With a max brood of 12, One tactical Squad should make quick work of a brood, or at least bring them down to a manageable size.
Weapons of choice, Anything that requires a trigger. Flamers are very effective. Now lets not forget about Plasma Cannons. The most over look Space Marine weapon, Strength 7, AP 2 Blast Template.
