Hey dakka I am looking for friendly critique on two 750 pt nids lists. C&C greatly appreciated!

Hive Tyrant: heavy venom cannon; bonded exoskeleton; wings. 255

1 Zoanthrope 55
1 Zoanthrope 55
2 Hive Guard 100

10 Hormagaunts: adrenal glands. 80
10 Hormagaunts: adrenal glands. 80

15 Gargoyles: adrenal glands; toxin sacs. 120

745 points

Hive Tyrant: twin-linked devourers with brainleech worms; adrenal glands; toxin sacs. 205
• 1 Tyrant Guard 60

1 Zoanthrope 55
1 Zoanthrope 55
2 Hive Guard 100

11 Hormagaunts: adrenal glands. 88
10 Hormagaunts: adrenal glands. 80

3 Raveners: devourers. 105

748 points

he venom cannon isnt that good you are better of with the twin linked devourers.

I'd always take Toxin sacks over Adrenal glands

You want the raveners in cc as fast as posible so you will likely be running every shooting fase, save yourself some points on the devs and run 2x scything or make themm real cc beasts with rending claws.

Zoans are 60 points btw not 55.

Problem is, you are hurting on Synapse, and easy to kill troop choice.

Raveners can deep strike, but as they can't assault on that turn, they will die fast (5+ armor...)

Zoans and the Hive Guard will be out of range for most of the game, unless your enemy is super aggressive, and comes to you.
If he brings some ranged shooting, you will not get into assault range.

The things that work, and work real good, form that list would be:

Flyrant with 2x devourer 260

2x Zoans in sPod 160

Troops:
3x Warriors, 2 deathspitter 1 barbed strangler 110
14xTermagant 70

Fast:
15x Gargoyles with toxin sac 105

Heavy:
1x Biovore 45


Drop the pod on or near opponents objective, and hope he doesn't realize it's a MC that can contest objectives.
Kill any vehicles with zoans, kill cover hugging infantry with the Biovore, kill everything else with the tyrant.

Tyrant too expensive for 750pts. Dual tervigon FTW at low points levels, boring but true.
