Been having a few games recently and getting to grips with the nids again (been a few years since ive played) and im finding they are pretty decent.
Since there are only 2 other players about (both are marine players) i need to taylor a list to some degree.

Been running a weird list, and only just scraping by.
The trygon has been doing great, but want to add more numbers to the army.

Im against 2 other players (both 1,500 points VS my 3,000)

Generally im against 20-30 terminators, whirlwinds, dev's and preds, which have been giving me a hard time, so want a bit of C&C on this list please:



Swarmlord - 280
2 tyrant guard: boneswords - 150
Hive tyrant: armoured shell, talons, miasma - 225

15 termagants - 75
15 termagants - 75
15 termagants - 75
Tervigon: cluster spines, talons, catalyst - 180
Tervigon: cluster spines, talons, catalyst - 180
Tervigon: cluster spines, talons, catalyst - 180

Carnifex brood (3): Stranglethorne cannons - 540
Carnifex brood (3) - 480
Carnifex brood (3): crushing claws - 555

Want to flood thier lines with TMC's in an attempt to disrupt them mainly.
The trygon done great the 1st turn, rolling over termie units suffering minor wounds, but want to cause chaos this time around.
So no trygon this time, want to test out the fex's since the trygon with my bad rolls was taking 2+ turns to pop AV13.

KP wise ill keep the tervies back and use the other MC's as battering rams.
In objective games ill use fex's to push units off of objectives, then sit the tervies there spawning FNP gants.

C&C?

Why not get one of those mawlocs? Those are great scarey MCs that deep strike, and deep strike again. Haha

That would really help you mess up their whirlwind lines, and any small sqauds like Havoks or whatnot hiding back there.

Just use their deep strike rule as your main attack. And all their wounds as your defense.

Thats the problem, the board we play on is a heavy city fight table, so way too much risk in deep striking.
