Wanting some possible feedback. I know nid players seem to love talking up the Hive Guard but in playing them I'm not a huge fan... they seem like a necessary (and cheap!) safeguard though but at anything higher than this points level I think I'll definitely be going with Zoanthropes for that role instead]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560512/6199394.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560512/6199394.page GMT 1000 PT Nids
Move the second terv to a hq slot or swapit for a full squad of zoans (maybe in a pod) or hive guard.

Also don't take claws on the tervs, that's a waste of 50 pts.

Give the tyrant hive commander rather the old adv.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560512/6199539.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560512/6199539.page GMT Re:1000 PT Nids dev's off the gaunts, OA on Flyrant, and everything on the Tervigons.. Pick up a foot tyrant with dual devs and add TS to both Tervigons instead. Point for point swap. Boom.

Another option if you want to keep relatively the same theme.. Swap OA for HC, Drop upgrades on Tervigons, buy spores for the gaunts and TS/ST on one Tervigon.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560512/6200794.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560512/6200794.page GMT Re:1000 PT Nids A gargoyle screen for your flyrant is a must. If you keep just one gargoyle inside 6" of your OA flyrant, all the gargoyles will get it.

Drop the devourers, you will have to hide the 10 man squads to avoid giving first blood to the enemy.
Or make one of them 20 man and for the 150 points buy 20 gargoyles.

For the Tervigons, the crushing claws is unneccessary, take scything talons, and put the points in toxin sacs and onslaught for the second tervigon.
Both the tervigon and his gaunts will be more powerful. Wound on 4+ is really great against bikers, nurgle marines, riptides...

If you change OA to HC, you can reserve and Outflank one of your tervigons. It will have a rough 2nd turn, but on 3rd turn, you will spawn and move it into your enemies backfield, objective, etc.

The other suggestion of keeping the Guards and just dropping the upgrades on the Terv's for a Gargoyle wall seems safer, and is definitely what I'm working with at the moment. I'm just trying to decide if the 2 Guards are better than a second Flyrant kitted for CC (which they probably are not). It does mean no Gargoyle screen though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560512/6205910.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560512/6205910.page GMT 1000 PT Nids
Flyrant
Flyrant
2 hive guard
10 gants
Tervigon AG/TS 3 powers
20 Gargoyles

Flying theme with some light shooting and spawning. Flyrants with Iron arm in a 1000pt list will be very tough to crack. Maybe even two of them. Flyrants do most of the work. Gargoyles distract. Tervigon moves up taking objective and spawning gaunts to distract and take objectives. HG move up popping light vehicles.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560512/6206875.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/560512/6206875.page GMT 1000 PT Nids

I like the suggestion of fitting another Hive Tyrant in there, my worry would just be too little anti-tank without the hive guards. The crushing claws were kind of there to get additional Smash attacks with the Terv's for breaking down heavy armor. But I guess the option of 4 different models with smash attacks might cover it.

I'd get rid of the guards for a second tyrant. I usually run 2 with 20 gargs and a few shrikes and it works wonders.
