1500 cult+nids first stab (Need some help)

[royalecheez]

Trying to make a list that combines cult and nids that can move somewhat fast and make my opponent sweat/ keep him guessing with CA/trygon shanannies. Both neophyte unit deploy on board to hunker down on an objective iconward and abberants in rock grinder. Primus and acolytes CA. Trygon and stealers do their stuff.

I'm sure there is a more efficient way to make a similar list but I love all these models and love genestealer cult.

Broodlord can't follow the stealers in the tunnel. Only 1 unit can come in with trygons.

You may face issues with tanks/transports. Particularly because LR with 3 HF. Is your only reliable anti tank.

Other than that should be ok for 1.5k?

I know about the brood lord I just don't really see any better hq options. I know I need to fit some more anti tank in. Any suggestion?

Drop the Abberants, take Hive Guard (same role lower cost approx same damage bigger range) and bring in a T-Prime to babysit them. If u have a venomthrope / malanthrope instead even better.

LR stuff can be changed out too, but there's all sorts of caveats on it.

That will give you a pretty decent all rounder list.
