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.

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.

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.
