1 x 2 Zoanthrope Brood
2 x 1 Venomthropes

2 Dakkafex with Adrenals
Tyrannofex (Acid Spray, Dessicator Larvae/Electroshock Grubs)


So the idea is simple, the swarm daisy chains forward from the two venom thrope/warrior nodes who will in turn move up when I think it's safe enough. I have been playing a little too aggressively with my Flyrants but they have done a great job at diverting attention away and putting in some major damage. My zoanthropes don't usually come into play until the latter parts of the game but they provide synapse and when they hit they really hurt and I like that. My Carnifex seem to attract a lot of attention for some reason so I haven't had a game where they have done amazingly well yet but sometime I kit one of them out with a STC for long range shooting to make them somewhat effective(for something other than wound tanks). The Tyrannofex generally takes MVP in most games because his torrent acid and staying power make him a serious force to be reckoned with. I've run him with regeneration for extra giggles and tears but I don't think it necessary seeing as how if anyone is so bold to charge him he's got two template weapons to keep 'most' at bay.
There have been a few games where I've replaced the second unit of Hormigaunts with a Mawlock and he did......SO WELL it made me feel a little bad for my opponent after he popped out of the ground to eat an entire unit the round after it deepstruck.

Anyways that's my list, if you have any ideas on how it could be improved I'd love to hear them. (running a semi-swarm list is great but I'd love to bring a scary MC list!)

It has a slower pace, with no flyrants, but has 8 MCs. 1 Tervigon, 2 Tyrannofexes, 3 Carnifexes, 2 Mawlocs, and more.

I like the look of your army! Colourful. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/588902/6706424.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/588902/6706424.page GMT 2k Mixed Nids (C&C Appreciated!)
I really like what the Dataslates do for Nids and I want to run both the Bioblast Node and the Living Artillery Node in a list under 1850. I bought a third Fex to add in for the BBN so I'm excited about that. (but eventually I'd love to fill out the brood for each - but that's well over 1000pts by themselves)

I don't mind footslogging across the board. It's fluffy. Though I've had this idea of taking the "Endless Swarm" and having a few Trygons/Primes pop out and having the swarm re-enter battle through their tunnels after being eliminated. Though I think most players would ignore my little ones and focus in on the big ones.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/588902/6709648.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/588902/6709648.page GMT
