-ork heavy, 30 lootas, 12 sluggaboyz in trukk, 10 grotz, kff
-genestealer- 40 genestealers, upgrades
what do you think?

completely illegal for school league. you need 2 troops and a HQ. and you can only have 1 heavy support

Ummm I love nids and they will sadly be killed from these grey knight. or at least have a H@#$ of a time fighting them. I dont think you can win with that list. So I would say a prime some 2 hive guard, 20 gaunts a tervigon and some gargoyles

necronsftw- I have played against a list like that many times and it seems to have problems staying on the board past turn 4. I don't know if that makes it a bad army or if it just wasn't played very well

Driller, he doesent have a single Heavy in any of his lists 0_o


If your going with nids though, make sure you can get enough bodies to keep alive and to shield units.

600 points:

Prime: deathspitter - 85

10 termigants - 50
10 termigants - 50
Tervigon: catalyst - 175

Trygon prime: 240

sorry. I thought Lootas were heavy. what are they?

Lootas are elite.

Can you have a mob of 30 lootas because you are also only allowed one elite.

Then it cant be done.
15 limit.

Ah. Thanks

Well nids are fun but, the problem is that nids are not very good compared to other armies. I am not saying they are horrible but struggle against mech lists.

And how many large mech armies will you find in 600 points?

There was a large amount at the national final last year and the regional heats this year

Can you post some examples of what was taken please?

Sorry, I cant remember that specific units but I can recall one with 4 chimeras and a vendetta and one with 2 leman russes and also one with 3 killa kans and a couple of trukks, these were just ones our school faced

Told you so PP, but on topic the only issue with jackals list is no hive guard/ zoanthropes which is needed for a good nid list.
