Hi guys new here and quite rusty with nids. So i'm gonna play a few games with this Necron friend and I'd like to have some advice with the list in order to have the most fun but also a chance to win XD Notice that mission is casual but we're gonna play eternal war or something from Shield of Baal: Exterminatus so I would like a versatile list.
That's what i came up so far:
HQ:
Flyrant 2tldv, eg (warlord)
Flyrant 2tldv, eg
Tervigon

Elite:
2 Zoanthrope + Neurothrope
Malanthrope
Malanthrope

Fast Attack:
Dimachaeron

Heavy Support:
Tyrannocyte (for Zoa and Neuro)
Tyrannofex


Troops:

15 Termagaunts with devourer
3 troops of 15 Hormagaunts
1 troop of 16 Hormagaunts

1848/1850

I'd like to keep the Dima cause i want to test it and also Zoas cause i like them XD Also thinking on dropping that Fex for 3 Biovores.

So...what do you think? Good? Trash?

Doesn't look bad. I would want to find the points to put a Thorax hive on the Tervigon, I'm guessing you're a Levithan detachment? That means no OS, but otherwise you should be able to give a good fight.

I like to mix my Devourer equipped Termagants with "vanilla" so that could free up 10 points.

Okay so just drop a couple of devourer to get that 10 pt for Desiccator on Tervigon.
And what about the 3 Biovores instead of the Tryrannofex?

If you want to run the biovores then find a way to squeeze in a living artillery formation. This gives your biovores tl on their shots and pinning. You also gain some synapse from warriors, and an endocrine, also with tl and pinning. It's a very shooty addition to your list. Definitely worth the pts. I'm not a huge tervigon fan since even with the extra models it can provide its death can kill all the good you just did for your army. Drop a hormagaunt squad to free up some pts. 4 oh then is a bit redundant. Maybe even lose 2 and add a unit of rippers to hide in the back field and hold objectives. If your trips aren't going shooty then get your power from your other slots. Should give you some extra pts other wise. Also never hurts to get ahold of venomthropes. Just a few of my thoughts. Take them out leave them

I like the idea of putting in a Living Artillery, so I'm gonna drop Tyrannofex and Tervigon and put that in, but i really don't like ripper so i'm not gonna add them XD ty for advice, man

Great list at the moment, living artillery is indeed a great idea! It is really going to sort out any infantry and the board, especially those with a low armour save. The flying hive tyrants with the tl devourers are great performers with the new codex, and having a pair of them sweetens the deal.

However, if you ever run a detachment with OS, consider getting that tervigon again! It can secure those backfield objectives, spawn gaunts, and can certainly hold out by itself when assaulted.

Just a suggestion here, venomthropes are an excellent investment, giving anything a 5+ cover, or even 3+ to creatures behind some gaunts.

Just suggestions though, your list does look good!

Thank you, man I didn't take any Venom because there are 2 Malanthrope...they have the same Venomthrope's Spore Cloud in addition to Synapse and other cool stuff XD
