What is the formation for forest licter brood.. is it 5? I know there is one where you have an unusually high number of lictors.. I think the real reason for lictors or deathleaper is to help bring deep striking things in like the trygon or mawlec... I think of Nids as Eldar of 4th ed playing in 5th and 6th ed. The whole army needs to work in synergy in order to perform well. You almost have to build a list tailored together in this edition... if bringing lictors or deathleaper I would say bring mawlecs

I would take the assassin brood instead but it's illegal in the format of my next tournament...I don't currently own mawlocs but eventually I plan on using lictors for shrikes and tunneling rippers.

I really like the lictors because in a forest it takes something like 6 serpents shooting or 120 bolster shots to kill them all.

It is 5 lictors with shrouding and 6" infiltrate in forests
