I traded one of my friends for his Nids army and i dont know much anything about nids or how to run a force of them yet. Im trying to make a 1000pt army to get the hang of them, so any advise would be greatly appreshated.

This is what i have so far:

24 Hormagaunts
20 Termagaunts
8 Genestealers
1 Broodlord
6 Warriors
3 Raveners
1 Lictor
1 Zoanthrope
1 Carnifex (with 2 Scything Talons)
1 Trygon

More fexes,not enough anti tank.

Yaaa, this needs some work....

weeellll, it depend on what kinda nids you want, shooty or close combat styled. in the case of shooty army, i recommend you get a hive tyrant right away, no matter what. 3 fexes, run them with sything talons and venom cannons, also thro on enhanced sences. 3-9 zoanthropes wont hurt either... scrap the hormaguants, give the termiguants the devourers. i would keep SOME level of CC units twords the front, lets say about 6 warriors with rending claws and sything talons?



well tyranids exel at CC, so thats what i suggest. run 3 fexes with sything talons and crushing claws, clubed tail, tusked, spine banks, and maaabey toxic sacs. run 20-30 genesteals accoumpanied by a brood lord, and LOAD up on the hormaguants and spine guants (termiguants w/ spine fists.) keep the tyrant close.

youCOULD scrap the fexes with trygons (sneeky deep strike bastards) but the choice is yours. take a look through your codex, if you dont have one, be sure to pick one up.

Im accually tryin to make a balanced list so that i can used to how all the units run

Well I have something you might like but not sure ill just throw it at ya.

Hive Tyrant heavy venom cannon 195pts

Ripper Swarm(9 strong) spine fists 135pts

Carnifex(2 strong) crushing claws adrenal glands bioplasma 430 pts

Warrior(3 strong) barbed strangler 100pts

Spinegaunt(20 strong) stranglewebx2 140pts

this is just a 1000pt i've been considering its alright.
