Well, there's a new codex coming in less than a month (see the News & Rumors subforum).

So, don't buy new models just yet. But, if trying to build a competitive list for the next few weeks... Don't use Genestealers. Right now, they suck. As in awful. Really, never use Stealers. But! New book soon, so they may be better then! I hope so, personally. So yeah, buy nothing unless its on a really good sale.

Don't buy anything yet! Wait for the new codex. But if we are going to use what we have... I would do this:

HQ: Tervigon. Toxin, Adrenal, Catalyst, scything talons. 200.
Troops: 2x 10 Termagants with Devourers. 200.
Elites: 2x 8 Ymgarl Stealers and 1x 9 Ymgarl Stealers. 598.

There's a 998 point list with decent ability to put out shots, and is pretty dangerous in CC. You'll take damage going in, but when the Ymgarls tear into the backfield, the shooting should cease...

Agree on genestealers being poor. At 1,000 pts though Nids can still put out one of the most dangerous armies there ...

HQ Tervigon
TR Tervigon
TR 10 termagants
TR Tervigon
TR 10 termagants
EL 2 hive guard
EL Doom in Pod
FA 12 gargoyles

Try that while you wait for a new codex.
