Hey Dakka. Need some nid help...

Mrs has brought a load of nids and I'd like some help with a list and what models to add

So far we have
Hive Tyrant /w wings
Tervigon
Carnifex /w rending claws (I think)
10 gargoyles
40 termagants (not built)
40 hormagaunts
4 ripper swarms
8 genestealers

Any help or advice on what to do and add to these models appreciated
:-)

Well you need more than one Winged Tyrant so you can plan on one or two more.

After that the Heavy slots need filling, and that can be a "style" question, but most of the heavies are good. I personally like Tyrannofex with Acid spray, and a Thorax Hive.

Multiple #Carnifexen do very well ( with Brain Leeches) and many like a Mawloc or two.

Good luck, and good hunting! Welcome to the Hive Mind.

Malanthropes!
T5 4 wounds 3+ armor save
and Synaspe
plus they give spore cloud to your little guys.
Best way to run horde

Also go buy the endless swarm box. Comes with all the little guys you will ever need.

Anymore nid players who can offer some advice?

Looking for a mix of swarm and MC's in the list

Malanthropes sound good!
And more flyrants sound good too!
What else works with these units?

would someone mind posting up a sample list for a mix of swarm and MC's that's semi competitive?

I would say a few Zoanthropes would also do you good.

If you search for my army posts, I've posted a bunch. My personal preference is for big bugs with friendlies, so they should be to your liking.

A venomthrope to give your brood cover and a toxicrene...because they are a cool model

Hey just threw this together something fun not 100% competitive but decent and solid for general gaming purposes

Flyrant
Flyrant

15 termagaunts

Malanthrope
Malanthrope
Zoanthrope w/ neurothrope

Hive crone

Exocrine
Tyrannofex
Toxicrene
Tyrannocyte (doesn't use a heavy slot)

Comes to 1865 so 15 points over but I'm sure you can move things around to suit your presences

Mucolid spores for cheap troops if you ever plan on packing as many MCs as possible. Also can't go wrong with Mawlocs. Tyrannocytes for drop podding big nasties where you want them.
