I was undecided between Hormogaunts or Termagaunts, went with the Hormys on the odd chance they get to charge something, will prob go with the Termagnts and just use them for the bubble.
I got pretty much the whole range, cep the 2 new big bugs.
Was going with the Skytyrant swarm to put some pressure on a flank and not have them concentrate so much on the 2 flyrants and the swarmlord

Hello all, would like to get some feedback on this list, its a ton of models, but I play Orks and im use to moving 120+ models so im very quick with it.
Im planning on using the Gargs to tarpit Knights, the Hormogaunts to attack vehicles and glance them to death. Hive Tyrant does his thing Zoeys to take out big vehicles and provide dice Crone and Tyrant to deal with Fliers. haven't used the Sporecyst yet, but planning to infiltrate them, start producing Spores and try to take out light AV vehicles.

One thing that scares me from the Orks is the Green Tide, up to 150 orks with many Power Klaws in there, can be made fearless and with FnP. How the heck do you deal with that ? and it can pretty much cover the whole board.

Thanks guys, only thing that concerns me is that I only have the 2 OBsec units with the 2 swarms, so keeping them alive may be an issue. It pretty much comes down to killing all of my opponents Obsec units, don't have much experience with Nids.
How do you guys recomend I use this list?

I have used LAN to great success, place them on top of a Skyshield and watch your opponent cry Skyblight is one of the strongest ones we have And i'll be trying BiobBlast node this weekend at a tourney Working on Endless Swarm with a Trigon Prime.

Im afraid that with lower Brood sizes they wont be able to survive much shooting. Didn't have the points for a Hive Tyrant, the 2 Dakkafexes im hoping will provide help with Air Cover as well as slamming into Vehicles. I been wanting to try the Deathleaper, he should be hard to kill with only Snap Shots coming at him, and anything that shoots him is not shooting at all the Genestealers coming at them.

We played 2000 points. Flyrants came out 1 at a time, Fexes came out 1 at a time. I think I prob held to many things on reserves. The Crone worked great at taking out one Raven, Vector striked it right out of the sky.

So I had my first game ever with my Nids, gotta say I liked how they played. Used: 2 Flyrants with devourers 2 Dakkafexes 1 Hive Crone 3 DS Swarms 1 Lictor 1 Venomthrope 2 mawlocks 1 Zoan Artillery Node Skyshield pad
He was using a mix of Iron Hands and Necrons All flier list, 3 ravens, 3 necron fliers a bastion with some scouts, 8? Wraiths Iron Hands chapter master Necron Lord on some chariot thing
I placed to many things on reserves, afraid of all his lasscanons and meltas and other stuff from the fliers, and it hurt me, stuff came in 2 at a time. Lictor did great grabbing objectives and hangine around in a pice of ruins, survived a million shots coming at him Artillery node was kinda useless since everything was flying Crone did great, took out a StormRaven and Damaged a Necron flier before going down. Mawlocks were great, ate 2 squads of Necron warriors who were holding an objective and 1 survived 3 Mindshackle turns to kill the Necron Lord. The Hyve Tyrants came in 1 at a time, the flew in, killed some stuff, then died to the remaining fliers Dakkafexes barged in and took out his Chapter master, but not before he killed the Exocrine.
Game ended a Draw, I would've won if I had rolled anything but a 1 in one of the 3 objectives I accomplished where I got D3 points.
