Looking over my armies and after a few play tests with the new nid book I've decided either new nids or my dark eldar with eldar allies. The deldar list I think is much stronger but let's see what dakka thinks.

I think if the nids faced the deldar list they would get creamed but that's what always happens with nids against venom spam. Worried about tau (but who isn't)

No ideas??

Surprisingly I am going to have to suggest the Nid list! The most common armies you will face will be Eldar, Tau, Eldau, Taudar (Or any variation thereof) and probably Daemons and some Biker Armies. Against all of which those Mawlocks do surprisingly well if you can Lictorstrike them in well enough. Even with that in mind I would still heavily consider dropping a Mawlock in exchange for a Biovor Brood or another Crone simply because you only have one Lictor, meaning getting all 3 within his no scatter zone will be all but impossible while Biovors really help knocking those hordes down to a size you can safely engage. Another suggestion would be to mix and match your Devil Guants so they aren't all in 1 unit, spreading out your firepower.

You forgot to add in the bastion to the nid list.

Cheers I'm thinking nids now as we'll I'm thinking about taking out the deathleaper and a mawloc and addi a second flyrant and a regular lictor what do you think? Or exchanging the the mawlocs for 2 trigons and a prime taking out deathleaper and adding a second dakka flyrant with a lictor?
