So at my FLGS the competition level isn't very high. I've won the monthy tournament with my Blood Angels three months in a row, and as my Nids are nearly done. I'd love to bring them to offer a challenge and a bit of variety to the tournament. 1500 points, standard scenarios with single primary missions. Here's what I was going to run:

HQ
Tervigon /w Catalyst @175p

Elites
2x Hive Guard @100p
2x Hive Guard @100p
2x Hive Guard @100p

Troops
10x Genestealers /w Toxin Sacs @170p
10x Genestealers /w Toxin Sacs @170p
1x Tervigon /w Catalyst @175p
10x Termagaunts @50p

Heavy Support
Trygon Prime /w Adrenal Glands @250p
Trygon /w Adrenal Glands @210p

I'd really want AG/TS on the tervigons to make the termagants half-decent. Only real way to gain the points is to drop stealer broods down to 8 strong or lose prime on trygon. 1,500 pts is all about compromise ...

I Agree with the above, as AG and TS on Tervigon's is essential. Personally I'd do both that has been suggested, drop the prime upgrade and the stealers down to 8 strong and squeeze in some extra troops for the left over points.

Agree with all of the above ^^ With those suggestions, you'll have a solid 1500 point list. It reflects the same list I use at 1500.

YES. AG & TS apply to all termagant units within 6" along with the ability to use the Tervigon's LD for any and all tests.
