ANY ADVICE WILL BE VERY HELPFULL!

Most helpful advice? Don't make any purchasing decisions based on this codex. It's only going to be legal for another month or so. Bugs should be getting a 6th ed book first week in January.

This assumes he's buying to put this army together....Your advice is valid though ;-)

Regarding the list:

Your Flyrant's cost is weird....are you giving him just 1 set of Devourers? A Flyrant with 2 devourer sets should run 260 points. With Hive commander 285.

Venomethrope? I would suggest to make them the same unit or drop them all together. Remember, area terrain grants you the same save that Venomthrope provide. With them separate you're going to give up First blood for sure...possibly even with both of them. I'd suggest losing them.

Warriors? At 2000 points, they're going to get annihilated. You've got ~250 points worth of models that will die in 1 maybe 2 turns. They aren't even technically a priority target because the venom cannon isn't that threatening and with LW/BS and RC you're wasting the RC points (unless you're assaulting armor in which case you have them kitted wrong).

Tervigons=good, Trygons=drop the Prime upgrade to save 80 points, Mawlocs=will be above average because 2 of them will work better than 1.

If you take my suggestions/corrections you should have ~410 points to spare. With those I would suggest Ymargl genestealers (maybe a unit of 7 or 8) for roughly 185 points and add 4 more Hive guard for 200 points. Then you have 25 points with you can do what you'd like.

It's a great list, but most other armies, especially at 2000 points, will annihilate you...

Take my suggestions fwiw

okay thanks, for the input everyone!! I already have almost 3500 points of nids I needed help.

You are short what you need for dual FOC. You need a second HQ. Take the 410 points roxor trimmed and put a second flyrant in there.

Devilgaunts need to be in a pod. If you out flank you may come in on a bad side and have them sit out in the open with no targets. Get them a pod so they can be where you want them. Don't need prime upgrade on trygons as stated.
As mentioned you will need a 2nd HQ to unlock double force org. I'd drop the warrios for another tervigon because you still need 4 troops. Don't take CC of ST on your tervigons. It's a lot of points for CC

If you're ever deadset on outflanking termagants, spike rifles are the way to go.

1 pt upgrade for the range on outflank...not a bad buy...s3 makes it debatable though.
