What's with all the 1500 pt lists? I expect with 6th edition that 2000pt will be the standard or remain around 1850.
I hope KP is eliminated in 6th edition along with other changes that make a spore pod list more effective. I used a spore pod list the other day based off one used by a guy on the Tyranid Hive and it was 18kp (7 pods). I also hope instant death is changed so that all the nid mid-sized bugs become a little more effective.

1500 points is for Astro, and since at least I know Shannon and I are going with others (presumably) we're all playing at 1500 for now.

I was actually thinking about how they might change instant death the other day after reading the project biomorph article on 3++, and I came up with a thought on my own. (tell me if this makes sense)
Instead of Instant Death simply killing you outright, if you suffer an unsaved wound from a weapon that would inflict instant death, you take a toughness test. Toughness tests are taken on 1D6 and you must roll under your toughness. If you fail the test, the model suffers instant death the way we do right now, if you pass you simply suffer the wound. (So it's basically a 2+ save against instant death for T6 MCs, while more fragile models at T3 or T4 are still likely to suffer ID, and T7+ are so tough they can't be effected)
Feels like it might actually be a little too powerful imo, but it would definitely balance out better than it is currently, I feel like that type of change would put Tyranid MC combat back on par with GK combat (which is about where it should be imo)

Ahh, that explains the 1500 pt lists, thanks.
Frosty, that is interesting. I don't know about other armies (Eldar/DE, etc with T3 models such as their leaders but all the nid T3 models are 1 wound that I can think of off the top. But it would give a 50% chance for a multi-wound T4 model (which nids have plenty) to avoid instant death which is a lot more than now. It could even be that any model with toughness over 6 still fails on a '6' so that their is a chance of it happening, but it would certainly help for nids vs GK.
