Hey everybody, after some reading and thinking, I came up with this list...

HQ

TYRANT - ST, LW/BS, Hive Commander
2 TYRANT GUARD - LW

TYRANID PRIME - ST, Bone Swords, Regeneration


TROOPS

10 GENESTEALERS - TS
20 HORMAGAUNTS - TS
10 TERMAGANTS
TERVIGON - AG, TS, Catalyst


ELITES

3 HIVE GUARD
DOOM - SPORE
3 ZOANS - SPORE


Trying to keep Hive Guard behind HQ, outflank Stealers & Hormies, drop with Doom & Zoans.Or that is the basic idea, C&C please....Is this viable?

Though, I'm considering having few venomthropes instead of doom..just for cover and defensive granades...

Are you trying to be fairly competitive? Or just play for fun?


If you want competitive, there are a lot of changes that need to be made.
Just for fun, well its an ok list. But doesn't appear to have much cohesion, but then again i've seen a Nid list I didn't think have a chance in hell win quite a few games.

Swarmlord, might be better than your Hive Tyrant. I think since your going CC style with him, Swarmlord is just going to do more damage.
I would also change the size of the Stealer squad, to either 7/8 (maybe Broodlord?) or a large squad like 17/18.

Also, I don't rate Zooanthropes. Some people think they are worth it. And if your not going to face anti-psyker maybe they are, but since 3 Hive Guard is cheaper, I just don't see spending however many extra points to be worth the risk. Also, they aren't as hard to kill as Hive Guard, I always have a problem taking down my friends army from range, with his 2 TErvigons, Trygon and 6 Hive Guard (Especially when 34 Genestealers inc two broodlords are infiltrated as close as possible to me....)

Well, fun for now....Maybe later somthing competetive...since some of my friends play eldar and tau...so basicly I made list to fight them...
