Zoanthropes with default powers are good for tough targets and as can openers('help' them out of their transports) if needed or can be swapped for BRB powers like PS depending on the army I'm facing. HTs will of course be going for Iron Arm and Devigants are of course brutal through sheer number of shots and quite deadly on the charge with toxin sacs. My only real concern is the relatively low model count (for Nids) but I should be able to take out a good chunk of the major threats on turn 2 and the 5 Barbed Stranglers should go a long way in curbing a hord army. Still not 100% on this list though so any thoughts on this?

The biggest thing I see here is that it is totally possible for a lot of armies to kill both flyrants turn one. The low model count is pretty unsettling, as you noted. Removing the stranglers could be the solution to solving both issues.


Not to say it's not possible but many have tried and no one has even come close to killing both Flyrants on game turn 1. I'm pretty careful with them on the first turn (keep out of LOS and/or weapon range of most everything likely to hurt them) and with the high likely hood of Iron Arm on at least one of them I'm not to concerned about it.

I'm not 100% on the Barbed Stranglers either but they seem likely to do more than their points in damage over the game which is something I can't be sure of for anything else I can think of to use 75 points for. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556596/6127378.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556596/6127378.page GMT 1850 Nid Alpha/Shooty/Psyker list - any thoughts? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556596/6127494.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/556596/6127494.page GMT
