1,000 point narrative list

[Halollet]

My local GW is running a neat sounding narrative campaign over 6 weeks.  I would love to bring my Nids, but I can't remember when the last time I played a game that small with them.

So, I need a lot of help and overall tactical suggestions for a game this small as I usually play 1850! :\

I've made up two lists

1st

Flyrant
TL Devourers x2, Wings, E. Grubs

Termagaunts x20
Devourer x5

Ripper swarms x3 Deep strike

Venomethrope x1

Zoanthrope x1

T-fex with Shred beetles

Carnifex x1
TL devourers x2

Exocrine

30 models, 1000 points


2nd list

Flyrant
TL Devourers x2, Wings, E. Grubs

Termagaunts x30
Devourer x5

Tervigon with shred beetles

Venomethrope x1

Zoanthrope x1

Carnifex x1
TL devourers x2

Exocrine

35 models, 1000 points

Suggestions?

List one seems harder hitting at the 1000 point level. Flyrant will own. T'fex and Carnifex will give target priority problems and will be helped by Venomthrope as they move up the board.

What's your plans for the 'gants?

Well, I played list 2 against AM. He had 3 chimeras, 2 russes, and a banewolf. I got stomped.

Did not have enough speed/power to take out all those tanks.

It was my first time using the tervigon, and man, those things are awesome! Rolled really lucky though. 1st turn, I rolled 4, 5, 6, and the 2nd turn I rolled 4, 5, and 6. That's never going to happen to me again!

Flyrant is awesome, Exocrine is great, won't leave home without the venomthrope, not sure about the rest.

I'm wondering to combat my speed problem, I should outflank the tervigon with some crushing claws on it. That's getting expencive for 1,000 points, but solves so many problems at the same time.

Yeah, I need help at this point level. Ugh.

What's your plans for the 'gants?

a screen for the rest of the army and to go camp on an objective if need be.  Maybe shoot something if something comes into range.  I might drop the devourers on them as they all died 2 turns before they could get in range of anything they could hurt.
