Hey everyone.

My gaming group is doing an apoc against another group in a few weeks and I've been tapped for the competition. At first I was contemplating using my main smurf army, but I recently got into playing bugs as well. Im still new to nids, however people seem to think it would work better in our team dynamic than my ultramarines. Any ideas on a good 1500 apoc list for bugs?

My list, (and this is a first draft,) was basically going to be a decked out flyrant with two tervigons and as much heavy support as I can get. (I'll copy it below.)

WHY IS THAT FLYRANT SO EXPENSIVE??????????

Ahem. I'm sorry. Flyrants need wings, two pairs of Devourers, and either Old Adversary or Hive Commander. A lot of people in Apoc put Regen on all beasties to add up points, but it is pretty much ALWAYS a waste of time. They are getting killed outright or not wounded, rarely in between. Also, why Acid Blood instead of say... Catalyst, on the Tervigons? And why not then frop Regen and buy Onslaught, to put three Biomancy powers on the Tervigons?

I tak swarmlord and 2 flyrants to apoc games

You can't take Tervigons as troops without at least one unit of Termagants too. Two 10-gaunt squads is a hundred more points.
