Some of the ones I can sell you. I picked up a 12000 point army for about 80
quid through GW bargain bundles, of which about half of that was spent on
the Bio Titans at full price. Anyway. I've got stuff spare at a quid a
blister (or equivalent, some have been taken out and cleaned up). 4 blisters
of Tyrants, 3 of Exocrines, 2 of Haruspex and 2 of Dactylis (3 in each of
those blisters). I think this is a blister of Biovores as well. There's 5 of
them, just one short of a second battery. Mail me privately if you (or
anyone else) is interested.

composition of a tyranid army of 3000 points?
>(or at least some advice on what units to include....?)

The ones that look cool. I've got a load of painting and basing before I can
give any practical advice, but the Trygons seem brutal (20cm move, 1+ save,
+8 CAF and a short ranged weapon for 100 points) and the horde plan sounds
good.
