Abso-friggin'-lutely not! Point for point, tyranids will overwhelm you in
assault. If you try really hard, you may be able to come up with an
expensive detatchment capable of meeting bugs head on in an assault, but
in the end the bugs will win. They are tough as nails in assault, because
of a relatively high assault factor, and a the fact that you should be
facing about 25+ stands in any assault. Your best bet is to blast the
hell outta them from far away. Devastator stands and whirlwinds are your
friends, as are dark reapers and those nasty disrupt weapons. You want to
add as many blast markers on them so by the time that they close to
assault range, you get a big fat bonus to your roll.
