I just did some very stupid math.

Termagants and hormagaunts are battleline units, which means you can take up to 6 units of each. The max unit size for both of them is 20. For termagants this costs 120 points, and for hormagaunts this cost 130 points, so if you take the max amount, 120 of each, it'll cost you you 1500 points. Neurogaunts are weird in that a unit of them can either consist of 10 normal neurogaunts and 1 node beast or 20 normal neurogaunts and 2 node beasts. The latter costs 90 points. So the max amount of neurogaunts you can have is 66, and it'll cost you another 270 points. A unit of 20 gargoyles costs 170 points, and a unit of 5 barbgaunts costs 55 points. So, in conclusion, the max amount of gaunts you can have in an army is 331, costing a total of 1995 points.

Just for funsies, buying all the kits required to build this army at GW price would cost you a total of 1618$.

Haven't played on tabletop before and mostly just been painting, and I'm thinking of completing a full Tyranid army, is this a decent list?

* 1 Norn

* 1 Trygon/Mawloc

* 2 Hive Tyrants

* 1 Psychophage

* 1 Tyrannofex

* 1 Tervigon

* 3 units of Termagants

* 1 Lictor

* 1 Neurolictor

* 2 units of Tyranid Warriors

* 1 Winged Tyranid Prime

* 1 Tyranid Prime With Lash Whip

* 3 Ripper Swarms
