All will be on my page when I can free a weekend or so. Until then,
this is from memory so is not 100% but you should get the idea.
Assault Drop
2 Hive Tyrant
5 Tyranid Warriors
3 Carnifex
5 Genestealers
Combat Drop ********

By far the Combat Drop has been the most successful. Lots of bugs to help
eat larger detachments and lots of little guys to eat overwatch fire. Note
that the Combat Drop can take upwards of 15 casualties and still be roughly
the same as the assault drop for almost the same cost.
I have lots of other drop forces designed, but the Combat Drop and my Biovore
Drop are the 2 I use the most. [Biovore Drop - HT, 2 TW, 5 Biovore]

Yes, the Biovore drop doesn't need a HT but I'm of the school of thought that
says every Bug detachment should have at least 1 HT in it.
