So I was thinking of doing something I haven't seen yet. It also helps that I would only need to pick up 20 Gargs, though painting them will annoy me

2k on the nose. The HT fly surrounded by Gargoyles and lay some serious hurt. Lots of target priority choices to be made. what do people think?

I personally don't find hive tyrants to be worth 270. Another trygon is almost always better. If you are going to take two hive tyrants though, giving them the +1 reserve is pretty golden. Maybe you should ask Q. He plays monster nids, so he can give better advice.

It's actually not too far from the list that I run, although I have a slightly different approach to troops. Only thing that really sticks out to me is the single hive guard. While it is a T6 3+ save model, it seems to me to be a free kill point. I'd tuck it in with one of the two other broods.
