[White Tiger88]

Well hello there fellow Nid fans! Like the title says i have taken along break from 40k and my beloved nids, They where my first army years ago and i decided that it is time to return to my roots and enjoy the large local Menu *cough* er.... i mean amount of local players to face off with.......... I am very rusty at the whole list building however i have drawn up a few favorite models and tried to think up something i can build & enjoy, However any and all suggestions are welcome!

Favorite Models
============
CC,Flyrant (The old favorite and Is named Mr.Bitey........don't ask...)
Exocrine (Dear god i love that gun..)
Hive Crone (oh god a giant flappy death machine!)
MALANTHROPE (oh god i didn't think it would be so sexy...)
DIMACHAERON (I shall name him Jumpy the hungry!)
Venomthrope (He tickled my deadly spot D

*Cough* Anyhow i know not all these models are practical to use in.......well...........most games at least i want to build my army up in 500pt jumps (1k,1.5,2k) So i am trying to fit in as many things i like as possible well be competitive! Like i said above any and all help would be great.

Also the main local armies i will face are: Guard,Eldar,Marines,Nids & Titan spam......

Very Solid

One note, when you take the skytyrant swarm stick your combat dude in there, he needs to be gliding anyway and you want to keep the dakka flyrants swooping, which the skytyrant prevents.

edit: Whoops. had missed that you've done that

edit2: You do want to be giving everything in that skytyrant formation Adrenal glands, you WANT the 12 move and the re-roll charge at the same time

Good point, fixed that up.........I am still worried about all the armor and knights\titan i will see though.

[daboarder]

Knights will always give you trouble, we have no counters and and nothing to take them out easily, personally I ascribe to the Swarm and Forget method, but then I run dual troop tervigons so re-supply is rarely a problem for me

Armour wont be an issue for you that I can see.

ya, almost wondering if a second Exocrine might be better then the 2 dakkafex's............But then again......Dakka Fex's eat everything else.

Also posted this on Nid hive but no one answered lol

It wont, you only want exo's in LAN's otherwise their pisspoor BS is a major nerf

So true.....................

Cooked this up as a secondary 1k idea............ Easier for me to build as i still have to convert the Biovores and find an exocrine =/
