Hi,

had a battle against a friend with a deamonkin army yesterday and I decided to dig up my nids again.
he plays a bloodthirster, a load of fleshhounds, two maulerfiends, some bezerkers and bikes.

I didn't think I stood a chance playing models I just felt like playing, but is was actually close al game long and I ended up winning.

I felt like sharing the list here.
did I accidentally make a competitive list, was I just lucky, or was it the match up?

Warriors are Actually really good against non Imperial Armies and even better against Fully Melee armies.

They have a few (but strong) weakness, at the same time they can be swarmed cheaply and for a few points 1-2 here or there with AP and or Rending.

Your flyrant has too many weapons. The Fexes and warriors all have mixed roles as equipped. Dropping the devourers for talons on the warriors in particular would help them.

That's largely a matchup boost. This list struggles against armies with actual shooting.
