Recently i`ve been running 2x10 stealers w/ lords and having some major joy. No upgrades in the unit as i dont think you need them with the lord in there.
I`ve been looking round for a while and i seem to find a lot of folks preffering to have more stealers than the lord.
Now myself personally will almost always take a lord but im open to trying a few games without him.

I ask you dakka, what do you think is best? (and why if you can be bothered )

I would also like to know if you think the AG/TS are actually worth it on the Stealers.
I`m not conviced myself but again i`ve seen a few folk say they wont leave home without them.

Cheers, K

I'm new to Nids but so far the toxin sacs seem worth it due to rerolling wounds against T4, which means even more rends. I haven't had the chance to run Brood Lords yet but they seem very entertaining. Do you normally outflank with them or infiltrate?

Never leave home without Toxin Sacs at least.
The rest of the upgrades I'd do:

More stealers > Broodlord > AG > ST

Pretty much this, many times over. Toxin sacs are amazing, especially if you can manage to work prefered enemy in there as well.

Broodlords are nice if they can get the Hypnotic Gaze to nullify a special character. I like my stealers to run with adrenal glands, they can quite often get the job done in one turn.
