There are a few threads about Crons v Nids on tactics and I happen to have a good friend that runs Nidzilla, and his MC's have also been giving me fits. I was used to playing against Marines where lots of gauss and low STR weapons were ok. It has been a journey to figure out how to adapt to the Nids MC's. We are playing this weekend and here is what he will likely run (more or less):
2-3 Trygons/Mawlocks, or 2-3 Tervs.
1-2 Flyrants.
Raveners
Ygarls

He may swap some Warriors in, or Fexes, but he is likely to use lots of MC's and lots of deep stirking at 2+

My list:
2 Overlords on CCBS with MMS, WS, PS, and orbs, for hunting.
2 ghost arks with 4 Destructeks and 6 warriors
2 anni barges
2 deathmarks with veilteks (fielded turn one DS turn 2)
6 wraiths with 3 coils
10 man immortals w/ nightscythe

Strats are what you would expect. Go deep with CCBs if there are multiple tervs. Hand Wraith back for DS trygons. Use arks where needed. Score at end if needed.
CC welcome.
