I would say yes the 2 together would make a good starter army. Then again, if cost is an issue, the swarm box might be better it has a larger force and all you would need is a synapse creature of some sort or to run the carnifex as old one eye. I started my nids that way I'd gotten the swarm box a hive tyrant and a box of warriors ( the start collecting wasnt an option then) and for small non competitive games it works great, lot of fun.
