LoL Wut? You didn't sign a terms of service to get a username? How about a ToS for your e-mail account, licence agreements for your operating system? I would venture you digitally sign something on average of once a day.

I still believe overall the nid dex as a whole is rather good best fixer i can think of is better armor saves and a few invulns tossed in here and ther to help you mc's and hq's live a bit longer. that would really balance things out as for new units dont stick them in the eleite slot!

Actually something interesting to introduce would be something along the lines of a rule that for every enemy model that is removed as a casualty you can bring back a model that you removed earlier in the game. Kinda show the whole devour biomass to make more bugs concept.

I ahd that idea for rippers. I'll put them in the Proposed Rules in a minute.

They can do this with a triple kit, using 3 units already in the fluff that they've ignored since 2nd edition. Exocrine/Malefactor/Dactylis.

Exocrines are basically a Tyrannofex on steroids. Dactylis' are Biovores on steroids. Malefactors are kind of like a Tyranid Land Raider. The kit could use a core body and two paris of legs for front and back, variant top-front armour place to put the Exocrine biocannon on there. Middle legs would vary between the models - Dactylis would have its catapult arms, Exocrine and Malefactor would have regular middle legs. Malefactor would have a different or add-on to the lower torso for troop embarking/disembarking.

Not out of the realm of possibility - they did a very, very good dual kit with the Zombie Dragon/Terrorgeist. It would fill long range anti tank (Exocrine), long range anti infantry (Dactylis) and transport (Malefactor). But this is really just me wanting a return of the old bio tank concept.

Yeah ok harpys are not always the best unit but they are awesome against big blobs of infantry. With twin stranglethorn cannons and cluster spines you get a S6 big blast and a S5 big blast every turn! By hanging back and not being as big a threat as the trygons, hive tyrants etc they don't always get targetted. Also I was so pleased with my harpy conversion I love seeing it on the table (I am so lucky - my wife has painted all 7000pts of my nids for me).
