I was originally going to post on here a 'I need help with this Tyranid List' but suddenly as i was typing it out i realised i'd made a mistake and had too many HQ units, so it actually made my list pretty easy to slide together. So now i want to test if it actually works. Here's the list but i hope whoever decides to play me doesn't make a list specifically to counter it -

Hive Tyrant w/ Wings, two sets of Scything Talons, Hive Commander, Amoured Shell (295)
Prime w/ Pair of Boneswords, deathspitter, adrenal glands (105)

2x Zoanthrope w/ Mycetic Spore (160)
2x Zoanthrope w/ Mycetic Spore (160)

Doom of Malantai w/ Mycetic Spore w/ Cluster Spines (140)

15 Hormogaunts, Toxin sacs (120)
15 Hormogaunts, Toxin sacs (120)
10 Genestealers (140)

Old One Eye (260)

Total 1500

So yeah i'd like to Vassel someone with this list if anyones up for it. That being said, does Vassel have rules for 5th edition Tyranids?

I have not played against the new nid list yet or seen it in action. That Hive Tyrant is a beast coming in at more than a Landraider. The doom is very nasty and you have some good anti tank with the zoanthropes. Where is the prime going to go ? If its in teh hormogaunts dont they have a special rule about there charge range or something.
Not sure on Old one eye dont know his rules.

Vassal does not have 5th nid rules as vassal 40k was shut down some time ago. You can still play if you have the modules but there wont be any udates.
The only thing they would not have a spite for is the Doom of Malantai and old one eye but you could just use a zoantrope and a fex and label them.

Well the Hive Tyrant is a beast (mostly due to it's pyschich powers and obviously big CC statline) but is actually very overpriced. I'd never have one in my list if it wasn't for it's Hive Commander ability which adds +1 to reserve rolls (which i'd need in a list with two spores). The prime will join one of the Zoan squads and drop down with them, but then it will leave the squad and hopefully charge into CC the turn after it's landed.

The Old One Eye is the real beast of the list - whilst he is slow and will be exposed to alot of shooting, he has i think about 5 wounds and can regenerate lost wounds on a roll of 5/6 at the beginning of the turn. He can also possibily get like 12 attacks with strength 10 and unsavable.

Anyway yeah i dont mind about it not having the units really, i'd just really like to test out the army. So when would you be up for playin' me? If it's still possible for me to download the old Vassal modules than i can give you a game anytime past 5pm.

If 'Old One Eye' proves to be too much of an expensive flop as some people on the librarium online forums have been suggesting, i've been considering between these two replacements

Tyranid Prime (240) and 3 more hormagaunts (18)

or

Carnifex w/ Scy Talons, Bioplasma, Regen Spore Cysts (210)
10 Gargoyles (60) getting rid of 2 hormogaunts
