Hi guys,
I'm just starting out with nids and have no idea if I want to focus on MCs or horde. This list is more horde-oriented and I'll go into the tactics after the list itself.
Some advice for the Tyrant's psychic powers would be appreciated!
HQ:
Hive Tyrant w/ Bonesword, Lash Whip, Scything Talons, Toxin Sacs - 180
Elites:
Hive Guard Brood (2x Hive Guard) - 100
Troops:
Warrior Brood (2x Scything/Rending, 1x Scything/Venom Cannon) - 105
Hormagaunt Brood (12x Toxin Sacs) - 96
Termagant Brood (12x Fleshborer) - 60
Fast Attack:
Ravener Brood (3x Rending Claws) - 105
Ravener Brood (3x Rending Claws) - 105
My justification is that every single unit deserves attention. If the opponent focuses on the tyrant, my Hive Guard, Warriors and Raveners can threaten their army. And if they choose to ignore the little gribblies their lines may be overrun :)
The two parts of the army that I'm considering changing are the HQ choice and the Termagants. The Tyrant is really expensive for 750 points but I like the fear-factor he brings to the table. The Termagants offer little more than an objective holder - but really that could work to my advantage if the opponent ignores them.
I considered a Tervigon but opted out for two reasons; 1) there is no model available and 2) I have moved to a new city and would like to make friends (lol).
Some questions:
Should the Raveners be combined into a single brood?
Which psychic powers would suit my tyrant?
Should I drop a ravener, combine into a 5x squad and grab Regeneration on my Tyrant?
Thanks!
