this is me trying out the artillery node dataslate, going for a deeptrike second wave to support the main group which is moving up the front aggressively.

130 4x Warriors / 1x Barbed Strangler

Comm relay to help the Mawlocs and flanking Warriors come out on time, the aegis defense line should help the venomthropes, Zoanthrope, Biovores and Warriors survive the first few turns until the flankers put pressure on my opponent.

2 Mawlocs for fun splodey times, Flyrants for air defense/threat and more dakka, as well as allowing my 2 Close combat Warriors team to flank, I actually use flanking Warriors to replace Genestealers as they can actually survive bolterfire quite well while being about as nasty in close combat.

how do you think this list will do in a semi-competitive environments dakkanaughts?

Looks nice. Though if you roll on Strategic for Warlord, you might find the Hive Commander points a waste? Though I suppose you can infiltrate your army forward, and still Outflank as well. Kinda depends on what you get I suppose...

I wouldnt mind infiltrating the artillery node, and a +1 to reserve and steal the ini roll would be fine too
I actually love the strategic traits, good guess on that sir

Yeah, Strategic is a Nids "happy place"...I was thinking with Master of Ambush, Hive Commander would add little.
