Flamers would not be all that helpful, because you would only get one shot off, and unless you killed all of them, they would still wipe the walls with you. I hate Genestealers soooo much.

I really love Broodlords...but I went with strength in numbers for the whole list rather than individual squad strength.

I'm pretty new/noobish to nids, but I hope this is a good list because I have a bucket of genestealers and 2 Tervigon conversions in the works.

Just a quick one- where does cleansing flame come in the initiative order for combat? But yes, crowe's spamalot would sting. That and land raider redeemers, or pretty much any high armour list.

Still, seeing that many stealers across the board from you, and knowing more were outflanking- that would be a little intimidating for a footslogger army.

Cleansing Flame happens before Init 10 - so before anything happens. But deaths from that count for combat resolution. Yes, Cleansing Flame screws nids.

Oh look, double squadron of LR Punishers and I still have 800 points to pump into a few plasma vets/command squads.

How do those 120 S4 shots taste?

Its S5.

I'd rather take max Hellhounds, seeing as they ignore cover, are a higher strength, have an AP value, are fast, and cost less.

Punishers just suck.

But yes, 100+ genestealers would be a royal pain.

Oops, guess I typo'd

Punishers might suck, but hey - Those two don't conflict on the FO, so why not take both?

Holy you're right. Why was I thinking Hellhounds were heavy...

But that would just be mean to the genestealers.

Also, Banewolves would maybe be better, because of those sexy 2+ wounds and no armor saves, although you'd be losing the range of the Hellhound flamer...

I love genesneakers.....even though they've popped my battlewagon on turn 1 before I could go!

You just gotta soften 'em up wit dakka 'fore you get stuck in.

The list is one-sided, honestly though. I love stealers, but they don't make a real effective list on their own, IMO.

Actually, Hellhounds are S6/PA4, so that means 2+ to wound and no armor saves either way... Unless Genestealers now have 3+ armour?

[edit to stay on topic : I know you want to spam with broods, but I think you'd be better of with Brood Lords for synergy with the Genestealers... ]

Oh I wouldn't run this list...just seeing what I might possibly take to near max out the stealers.

I never take a Brood without a Broodlord...that's like seeing 20 dollar bills on the ground and just walking away,

Hellhounds are AP 4? Oh, never mind then.

Also, yeah this list would quickly fall apart against any army with a decent amount of templates or rapid-fire.
