I was playing around on epicroster.com after hearing about how Orks are tough at low points, as they can field large numbers. So I cam up with two lists and wondered which would win.
Orks:
Big mek - kustom force field, big choppa, cybork body, da dead shiny shoota
Shoota boys x22 - nob with bosspole and power klaw
Shoota boys x22 - nob with bosspole and power klaw
I would think that numbers would win out. I also wanted to limit it to one HQ and two troops. Any other interesting builds are welcome too!
"Because the Wolves kill cleanly, and we do not. They also kill quickly, and we have never done that, either. They fight, they win, and they stalk back to their ships with their tails held high. If they were ever ordered to destroy another Legion, they would do it by hurling warrior against warrior, seeking to grind their enemies down with the admirable delusions of the 'noble savage'. If we were ever ordered to assault another Legion, we would virus bomb their recruitment worlds; slaughter their serfs and slaves; poison their gene-seed repositories and spend the next dozen decades watching them die slow, humiliating deaths. Night after night, raid after raid, we'd overwhelm stragglers from their fleets and bleach their skulls to hang from our armour, until none remained. But that isn't the quick execution the Emperor needs, is it? The Wolves go for the throat. We go for the eyes. Then the tongue. Then the hands. Then the feet. Then we skin the crippled remains, and offer it up as an example to any still bearing witness. The Wolves were warriors before they became soldiers. We were murderers first, last, and always!" —Jago Sevatarion

Probably Orks in that situation since you only have to kill the Tervigon to win and Nids have a weak Codex. I would probably field some Warriors instead with a Biocannon to maybe cause Pinning and Mob Rule checks.
I would field either of the following lists at 500 points - those limits are really harsh for Nids. Troops are the worst part of the Codex.
Hive Tyrant w/ Twin Linked Devourers with Brainleech Worms x2, Thorax Biomoprh
Ripper Swarm x3 w/ Deep Strike
Ripper Swarm x3 w/ Deep Strike
Hive Crone
Spore Mine x3
or
Tervigon
Termagant x 10 w/ Spinefist
Termagant x 10 w/ Spinefist
Termagant x 10 w/ Spinefist
Termagant x 10 w/ Spinefist
Zoanthrope
