How come it seems like most Nid lists I see don't use Regen on their 6 wound guys.

While I realize 30 or 25 points is a lot for a tervigon or trygon, respectively, it's rare that all 6 wounds go down in a phase. With a 6 wound bank you have a pretty good shot of getting at least 1 or 2 wounds back, and that definitely seems worth 25 points when you're already investing so much.


Or is it that people find that the enemy fires everything to kill 1 6 wound guy, so you've just really wasted the 25 points?

It ain't cheap, but personally I do like it on 6 wound monsters - takes a whole lot of shooting to remove 6 wounds, especially if you have some cover. Your opponent runs the risk of either wasting his entire shooting turn on one target, or leaving a wounded grumpy monster there to regenerate.
