So this is a sort of heavy aggression list I love running with the nids. Without further a do, here we go.
HQ
Hive Tyrant (Warlord)
-Wings, 2x t-l devourers with brainleech worms, Regen
260 pts
Hive Tyrant
-Wings, 2x tl devourers with brainleech worms
230 pts
Troops
30 Termagants
120 pts
Tervigon
195 pts
25 Hormagants
125 pts
25 Hormagants
125 pts
Elites
2x Zoanthropes
100 pts
Venomthrope
45 pts
Fast Attack
Hive Crone
155 pts
Hive Crone
155 pts
Heavy Support
Exocrine
170 pts
Exocrine
170 pts
Total: 1850pts
So basically there are 4 flying monsters going up against the enemy deployment zone, some nice artillery and a good amount of some Synapse. I prefer Hive Crones over Harpies, simply because you get haywire shots and S8 Vector Strikes. Hormagants are great units to get the encircled objectives, simply because they can tar pit almost any unit in game. Venomthrope seems a bit lonely, but with so many big monsters going around I imagine he's not such a hard model to hide behind something. Regen on Warlord is quite useful, I feel. It might save you 2 VP if it means you won't die to first blood or Slay the Warlord. If I need more speed I can make room for Gargoyles or something like that. All in all it's pretty aggressive list with nice amount of board control.
So what are your thoughts? What have I missed?
