Tyranids
1. Assault Swarm (Dets 5 and 4): This swarm will attack directly against the northern portion of the line and make for the PZ. The flyer swarm will also attack the PZ directly. The hope is that the Space Marine commander, desperate to save civilian lives, will draw off reinforcements from the south.
2. Tyranid Support Swarms (Dets 3,6,7,8): These Tyranids will advance to the center of the Marine line and lay down heavy harassing fire. they will attack if the opportunity presents itself. Hopefully they will draw fire. The Dominatrix and eventually the Biotitans will join the force. The reserve Swarm (det 6) will be wit this force and be committed where ever it will do the most good.
3. A huge Assault Swarm (DET 2): This is the main Tyranid effort. it will delay while the northern feint draws off Marines then support the advance guard and attack Point Judith from the south.
4. An Assault Swarm (DET 1): heavily seeded with Lictors: They are the advanced guard for the Tyranid attack. They are to make an end run against the southern flank and seize the hill which overlooks Point Judith.
