Can anyone tell me how many points this is?
1 tervigon
20 Devourer termagaunts
10 vanilla termagaunts
40 hormagaunts with toxin sacs
1 venomthrope
1 trygon prime
2 warriors with lashbone
1 prime with miasma cannon
1 bare bones carnifex
2 zoanthropes
1 biovore
10 gargoyles
3 raveners
1 broodlord
13 genestealers
1 hive tyrant with wings and twin-linked devourers

All answers appreciated.

HQ
Hive Tyrant
-Wings
-Twin-Linked Devourers
-Twin-Linked Devourers
=230

Tervigon
=195

Tyranid Prime
-Miasma Cannon
=150

TROOPS
Termagants x10
-Devourers
=160

Termagants x10
-Fleshborers
=40

Genestealers x13
-Broodlord
=242

Tyranid Warriors x3 (Three is the minimum you have to take)
-Lashwhips and Boneswords
=150

Hormagaunts x20 (Thirty is max so split them in half)
-Toxin Sacs
=160

Hormagaunts x20
-Toxin Sacs
=160

ELITES
Venomthrope
=45

Zoanthrope x2
=100

FAST ATTACK
Gargoyles x10
=60

Raveners x3
=90

HEAVY SUPPORT
Biovore

I am aware you have three HQ's and that the Tervigon can be taken as troops but it's under HQ in the codex so that's where I put it.

30 termagaunts equals a tervigon as a troop.

Yeah, I edited my post explaining this, last sentence. How do you intend to build your army with what you have?

Take away the prime, total of twenty devilgants, see what else to take away.

This is off the top of my head, so check the math.

HQ: Winged Dakka'rant, Thorax Hive 240
HQ: Tervigon, Hive (you can move this to Troops, when you build some more Temagants , and buy a second Tyrant) (You need more Termagants just to spawn as it is) 205

Elite: Veno 45
Elite: Zoey, x2 100 (can be split out)

Troops: Genestealers, x7 +Broodlord 158?
Troops: Termagants, x10 +10 Devilgaunts 40+80=120
Troops: Hormagaunts, x15, Toxic 120
Troops: Hormagaunts, x15, Toxic 120 (overpriced, buy them as vanilla, once you get some Big Bugs. )
Troops: Warrior Brood, x3, x2 Bone/Lash, use the prime as a Cannon...140?

Heavy: Carnifex, Adrenal, Bioplasma...155?

I think that runs close to 1500...if you can, grab Hive Commander, and Outflank something...

I recommend you play a few games to get a feel for the Nids, then get some Big Bugs to fill out your Heavy slots.

Good luck! And welcome to the Hive Mind!


Late entry: "Devilgaunts" are Termagants that have Devourers, they cost twice as much, and have three times the fire power. They work best when splashed into a Brood, personally I use a 2/1 ratio; so Spinegaunts, x20 +10 Devilgaunts. Some like going for 50/50, like I did above (that's because you have so many Devils, and so few vanilla) So if you build about 30+ more, you can run a Brood of Termagants, x15 + 15 Devils, and make the Tervigon a Troop choice.

Me? I like to Outflank Big Momma, because she is a attack force in a single package (Big Bug, Synapse, Troops, spawns more Troops for bubblewrap. ) You need to have plenty of spares so you can spawn at will, otherwise you have to wait till you lose enough to justify a spawn attempt.

Once you move the Tervigon down to a Troop slot, you'll have a HQ ready to be filled.

Im not new to the hive mind, just I left my codex in one of the community centre lockers when I went swimming. However, the advice is very good. Thank you!
