Fun list that is supposed to give most armies trouble. Primes go in Devilgaunt squad and hiveguard squad.

I would love to try a ton of devilgaunts! I would drop regen. The prime will most likely be dead before it will regen anything. Also hiveguard only cost 50 points each so it would be 150. I would also not use Old One Eye since he cost too much and he will die very easily. A tyrgon would fit this list.

Old One Eye? Um, why?
You'd be better off swapping him for a Flyrant with devourers, and then swapping the two primes for another Flyrant with devourers. If you're trying to avoid netlist spam like this, then swap him out for another tervigon and more devilgaunts. Really, he's pretty awful.

Trying something different.

I like different Nid lists. The one thing I would change up is trying to throw at least 1 of the units of Gaunts in a spore pod. There's nothing like the look on an opponents face when you drop a unit behind his lines that can fire 60 shots. I've never used Old One Eye because he is very pricey but I imagine he could be a good target while your Gaunts swarm over other infantry.

Drop old one eye add another tervigon and add more gaunts and other venomthraope then watch nerd rage come out when you set that many models on they table with a nice cover save

it's only a 5+ cover so not that great really. OOE is not bad once you get him in melee and the Trevi with Catalyst can do that just fine.

5+ is better then no+ also OOE has to get into combat just saying a tervi does the same thing basically but hes cheaper and he poops out little runts that can get annoying.

I like the very different list but as mentioned by everyone else,

Old one eye is yust terible, to expensife and dies as easily as a regular fex.

The army will need to run in 4 supporting blobs:

1&2) Prime, HG, Devilguants
3)Trevigon, Devilguants
4) OOE and VT

I would considering making all 3 DG broods 20 strong dropping the DeathSpitters on the primes and the last 5 DG to add the third VT. That will increase your spread by almost 5" to give you 20" wide 12" deep spore cloud.
