I forgot to tell you a few things........

If you think I have the points cost wrong for some units, I don't. I might have left out a few things in some of the units while typing this. So, I have the points cost correct (should be anyway) so please don't say things like:
"Um, the Horrorfex's points cost is wrong."
Because if they are, I just didn't type something for them.
However, everyone here is smart (seriously), so I'm sure you can all work it out if I did leave anything out.
Sorry for this small inconvenience.

Thanks everyone! :D

Thats sounds pretty cool my friend collects nids and he needs more stuff ;)

Thanks mate!!!!

Just so you know, this army actually has 220 models, not 80. I forgot to change that after copying and pasting.

Thanks peoples......any advise???

I don't know much about Tyranids so I can't help.

How are the gaunts a Fast Attack without wings? :blink:

Can't you only take mutations if you're using one of those custom hive fleets? Which would mean you can only have 8 different broods.

The list looks good! But i would maybe have a few more genestealers, probably 10 or so more.
It looks good though, good luck with it! ;) It looks like a hard hitting force with everything needed to do well in all sorts of battles.

Hmmmm i would maybe suggest tyrant guard. The 2+ save really helps screen off your models with a less than adequate armour save. Also have you thought of the so called 'exotic choices' like gargoyles or maybe a squad or 2 of termagaunts B)

BTW what is the total cost of this army :blink:

Get more genestealers get some temagaunts. get some gargoyles and get some more bivores, then u will be unstoppable, (Thats only if u never wanna be beaten) :D

The Dreadgaunts have wings........I thought I said earlier that everyone here was smart (seriously) and would be able to figure out if I'd left out anything when typing :P .........Just mucking around, don't take anything I say to offence!

If I get more Genestealers, Then I have to get rid of one of my other troop choices!!!! I don't want to do that!!!!

This army is 2937pts all up (as I said in the first post up the top). and as I said in my third post, there is actually 220 models, not 80.....I forgot to change that part!

I don't think I want to change the Spinegaunts for the Termagants, the Spinegaunts are better, in my oppinion (don't know if I'll change them yet). I don't want anymore Biovores, because they die WAY too quickly for my likings, besides, I want the 2 Horrorfex's I've got to help me take care of the vehicles I'll be coming across alot. I don't THINK I want any gargoyles (not sure yet), as the Dreadgaunts are much better (in my oppinion).

As for mutations:
Yes, you can only have them if you make your own Hive Fleet. Your own Hive Fleet, however, can have a maximum of 12 different species, I'm using about 10, maybe 11.

Thanks people, keep the advise coming! I'm taking in what everyone is saying and changing my list as I deem necessary, so I want lots more advise (if possible).

Well ok.....but get more bivores they rock :D

thats a heaps good nid army. i collect nids aswell but my army is nowhere near as good as yours. :P how much did all that cost you?

Mmmmmm.........it cost me about $1500 (Australian).

Thanks guys!!!


(Biovores!!!!!!! OK, well....maybe) :D

hmmm biovores well thats interesting. And you want more of them in is army. They are a little vunerable for my liking.
If you think he needs more heavy support i would perfer zoanthropes because they can get up close but have the armour to get in there and do the job.

biovores have basically no armour and are a target because they are annoying and can hide so most likely it will attract deep striking units.

yeh the other week i was vs erekose and oblivious and erekose knocked out Obliviouses biovore with one shot

Assuming he put his biovore behind cover to protect it. That means it would have taken an ordnance blast to kill in one hit.

Losing 50pt to get a tank's attention for 1 turn seems a fair trade.
