So this is my new 2K Nid list I am trying this weekend. The plan is to roll 4 Biomancy Powers for the Swarmlord and 3 for Each Tervi. Hoping I can get Iron Arm and or Endurance for each.

If so Swarmlord cast IronArm and that could be potential a T9 Unit. Also both Tervi's spawn gaunts while running up the field. The whole army moves forward as a giant wall. The swarmlord in the middle Tervi's on the Flanks. Hive Guard and Biovores will move up behind the Tervi's getting Cover.

I know I do not have any real anti air, however no one at my LGS uses more then 1 flyer so I should be ok.

Plan on drooping the DoM in the back field near any obj holders and Deathleaper is more for harrassment.

Thoughts?

Looks like a fun list, but very slowmoving... Your Wall of Death may get shot up pretty good before you eventually make it to your opponents side. If they decide to shoot MCs with Iron Arm thats thier own fault lolol I'm not convinced the doom, deathleaper, (and if you choose to deepstrike the trygon) would hold enough attention for the rest of the army to close in. Especially if you miss the 3+for reserve and something has to sit out till turn 3. The Trygon and Deathy may get lighten up before they can work thier magic but the Doom can hide behind his 3+ invul so he should be good. Like you say, flyers may give you a headache as you have actually nothing to hit them with beside snapshots from the HiveGuard and even possibly termagants if they can get rear armor and a glancing roll of a 6.

I do think the list is worth trying though, especially if things go in your favor with reserves, Biomancy Rolls, ect.

Goodluck sir,

Zack

Ooh! Do let us know how the Stonecrusher fares!

Normally for me, Doom alone causes my opponent to focus on it till it dies, which is usally most of their shooting for a turn (sometimes two)
