How is Chaos the Germans? Also, I don't think the Tyranids handle
guerilla warfare that well.

Since this was WWII I thing the Chaos=Germans was referance to their
superiority complex and war atrocites. I think the second one is quite
good. Tyranids attack in 2 ways. 1)Massed wave attacks, which fit the
chinease style.(e.g. Korea) 2)Terror raids. In the second option Tyranids
simply attack in small groups to demorlaize the opposition. Tyranids are
good at this for several reasons. 1)Lictors, nuff said. 2)Tyranids can
hide. All tyranids can hide. In 40K tyranids are the only ones who can hide
anything terminator sized or larger. You can have a Carnifex hidden. (But
it does need something to hide behind, forests work well. For a fun time,
get a heavy terrain board and play with counters and a GM, talk about
psychout. :)
