        Take large swarms with lots of tyrants/warriors. Concentrate
on one section of the board, wipe it out, and move on to another
section. Have some swarms in myectic spores to drop on enemy arty.
Remember that Biovores, while short-ranged, can be dropped in
spores.

        You could opt for the tactic of taking lots of AT shots
and shooting his detachments' synapse creatures, thus forcing him
to make Ld tests as normal. But you need quite a lot of AT shots
to pull this off before the bugs are on top of you.
