Hey gang. My first crack at a nid army is going well. I have the 'swarm' side nearly done, and I'm not quite rich enough to buy enough of the MC's yet. I'm working towards a Godzilla in time, when I can purchase a few more 'fexs. But....for now I have THIS list for your review:

HQ:
Walker Tyrant -VC TL-dev, +1BS, TS's, 2 Tyrant Guards. -239
Broodlord + 11 Genestealers -EC on the stealers -290

Troops:
12 Gaunts -Dev TS -120
12 Gaunts -Dev TS -120
12 Gaunts -Dev TS -120
14 Hormies (naked) -140

Heavy Support:
2 x Gunfex's -VC, BarbS, +1BS, EC -346
2 x Zoa's - Synapse, Warp Blast -130
(I'd like to either either up the zoa's or cut them when I make room for more fex's, but at the moment they are good synapse and half-decent extra shooters)

Total 1505 points and 56 models.

Like I said, kina swarmy, but its just a starting base for a larger 'zilla army to come as I pick up the peices.

Not bad, not bad at all, although look at maybe dropping the devgaunts to termagents(fleshborer gaunts) I mean I know you have the extra 6" raneg with the devourers but look at the LOW str, I know it's 24 shots but they're so easily killable, i'd ratherh ave the extra numbers.

I found one problem with the brood lord and large units, I wipe out a unit and bam loads of attacks wasted, thats like 37 attacks on the charge with rending so you've already rended MOST of a dev saud to death, but I guess it depends what army you are facing. 12 stealers is a lil overkill there, althoug hthe + is survivability for if some do get dead on the returning fire, or if some get dead if you charge into cover.

Nice list there though, with the fexes maybe drop the Ec and take the extra wound, or just drop the EC on both for extra models in the gaunt units.
