Hormogants are quite cheap, this doesn’t however make them better than Termagants.
Lictor
Fast and strong anti-infantry unit.
It fights only in melee and has the ability to knockdown enemies.
This makes fighting easier for other Tyranid groups.
Lictor is vulnerable to heavy firearms and vehicles.
Ravener Brood
Another great anti-infantry unit.
Their main flaw is their price and their weakness against vehicles.
Ripper Swarm
Rather miserable unit that is worth noting only due to its low cost and large numbers.
Spore Mines
They’re only effective in large groups - those suicidal units are only effective against enemy infantry.
Rather than wasting resources on the mines save up to build Carnifexes.
Termagant Brood
Similar to Hormagants though better, as they are able to fight at longer range.
Pretty effective against enemy infantry and quite cheap - those are the main assets of Termagants.
Even though they have upgrades that should make them effective against vehicles they can’t really fight them effectively.
Their pin down ability is what makes them really useful.
Zoanthrope
Supposedly an artillery unit, though their low fire rate makes them rather miserable.
Carnifex
After buying the bioplasm upgrade Carnifex becomes the most powerful tyranid unit.
High price is Carnifex’s only flaw.
