Im making a nid list to prepare for the new codex, im looking for critique preferably only from nid players.

HQ
Hive Tyrant (wings, 2 devs, hive comander)
Hive Tyrant (wings, 2 devs)

Elite
Zoanthrope (2 units, Spore)
Zoanthrope (2 units, Spore)

Troop
Termigaunt (15 units, spore)
Termigaunt (15 units, spore)
Tervigon (2 psy powers, toxin sacs)
Tervigon (2 psy powers, toxin sacs)

Fast
Gargoyle (Toxin sacs, adrenal glands)

Heavy
Biovore (2 units)
Biovore (2 units)

The plan is to roll the tyrants around blasting away, proritizing AA stuff. Spore the zoans and the gaunts in mid/enemy backfield and claim/contest use zoans to take tanks out. biovores follow the tervigons far back or plant in cover. ,And sweep gargoyles around in the web of synapse taking stuff out with 20 shots and poison attacks.

Current rumors are Spore's are out of codex and Tervigons are only unlocked as a troop for each 30 deep gaunt squad you roll with.

These are pretty tough lists that I tend to run against my friends when we get competitive. (GK and SM)

Im going to cry if spores are gone.

i like carnifex but they are to pricey for my tastes, if the rumors of them geting a super point reduction are true ill run a brood or 2

For my case, I like taking them against GK. ESP since they have warpquake and low model count. They melt those psy riflemen. I usually blitz my tyrant into his land raider too. If GK goes infantry heavy I buy another gaunt squad instead of heavy stuff and deck em out with devs. Low model count dies under weight of fire. Raveners and shrikes are great against them too esp with bs/lw. fex's are pricey but they are worth it. You drop them in a precise point and just take shots at flying things carrying pallys or armor They don't have to run up and take a bunch of fire.. The real killer is the TS mob, I don't spawn until turn 2 and when the blob hits I make sure I have A 360 degree bubble wrap coverage.
