Like I said in the other thread the biggest issue is going to be your synapse web. Expect your warriors to be targeted immediately. Your Flyrant will be off zipping around the board, so make use of Dominion to keep his Synapse range large to keep the other units under your control.

THAT being said, bringing an FMC to a 500 point game is sort of a dick move. Despite the likelyhood that you will loose everything else the moment your warriors die, your flyrant will be basically unkillable because nobody in a 500 pt game has the points to bring skyfire.

The real issue with nids in the low point game isn't so much a question of whether or not your being super competitive and more that every match degrades into them targeting your synapse unit because why wouldn't they? It's a fight that gets old fast.

Also, throw tl devourers with brain leach worms on the flyrant. There is really no reason not to.

Banned Carnifexes? So bring a mawloc. From what I understand Dakkafexen are only "mildly" competitive, and Mellefexen are "meh". Also I think the general agreement is the Prime is bad for business, but I like them. Just seems a strange thing to ban I guess. What else was "banned"?

In a 500 point game I think a Prime will work great. That list is MUCH better I think.

The prime can make the warriors better with the Zoanthropes being a good durable unit and give your some psychic umph.

I would consider taking the Zoan as 2 separate units. For a few reasons 1) because it will force your opponent to split his attacks between multiple units 2) because you will double your psychic dice each turn 3) because then you will have 3-4 sources of synapse running around the table with all your little nids.

IF you have the points (doubt you do) the prime works well with the Miasma Cannon. If not it's such a low point game you should do fine.
