Just a couple more days until the codex comes out but based on all the rumor sources that are mostly confirmed and point values i have seen, This should be mostly accurate. My old list used to be Nidzilla CC death, but I'm adding shooting Fex's and Zoanthropes because of the changes to stats. I'm thinking mostly foot slogging however the trygon, and the gargoyles will deepstrike and the warriors will wait in reserve to pop out of the Trygons hole. Infiltrating all the Genestealers as long as terrain permits.

I would really like to know how you would counter this list or individual units using a non-nid list. Most of the people i play with are SM players.

Thanks much for the good look through Mattbranb

after looking closely at the wording at tyrant guard i can't justify taking them for the cost since there is no more wound moving from the tyrant to the guards, Just shooting wound allocations cause of 5th ed would shenanigans and retinues.

I have made some changes to the list to spread out my options like you said and make it harder for the my opponent to choose what to shoot at. I really need to playtest with the outflank a couple of times and see how much a help it is for the tyrant to get a +1 on reserve rolls.
