Nid list possibilites...

[1920skulls]

So...after having left the Nids for about 2 years, I have decided I want back in! Used to be a frequent poster on Tyranid Hive, but its been so long forgot my username! Created a new account, anyways...to the important stuff...

So, am getting 2 carnifex and 60 termaguants this sunday, maybe additional models, and am intending to do something like this...
Tervigon: AG/TS, Catalyst
20 Gaunts
20 Gaunts
Tervigon:AG/TS, Catalyst
Tervigon:AG/TS, Catalyst
2 Carnifex: Dual TL Brainleech
2 Carnifex: Dual TL Brainleech
2 Carnifex: Dual TL Brainleech

Really simple for now. Also really really wanna include Doom as in my personal experience he is brutal, but not sure what to clear for 130 points...

Now for the...the...thing that's almost like tactics!

The Carnifex fulfill a vital role of Anti-air, with 24 TL s6 shots something's gotta hit! they are nasty on Overwatch, and are in general just fun.
Troop Tervigons are amazing with all the buffs they can give from the safety of camping on an objective, and are very hard to shift(unless they get charged...)
HQ Tervigon is tough to kill to gain Slay the Warlord.

Any AV13(which every army except for DE has access to) I unfortunately need to rely on the Carnifexen walking up to hit and stepping on them.

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? Violent Reactions?

Only problem that kinda sticks out to me is your longest range shooting is 18". You would have quite a few gaunts but the terv's would be pretty high priority. Also, would they be getting any biomancy rolls? or just keeping catalyst?

[1920skulls]

would go for catalyst definetely

[Jabberwocky]

The problem for me is just how boring it is!

Add to that things like Jaws just annihilate it at range.

DE would be a problem too, since all those Fex have to walk. Maybe drop 1 brood for a Flyrant and pods for some of the Fex?

If you change some Fex for Tyrants (10 points to gain WS, I, psychic powers, synapse and shadow!) you can also easily make the 3rd Terv a troop.

It does strike me as a bit boring to play with ;D

How about magnetizing the carnifex you're buying tomorrow? That way you can keep things fresh as you go

[wolfchild]

Very much advise magnetising!
GW make the key option for fex's and other big beasts different with every codex and rulebook, so you'll wanna be able to switch those limbs out.
I've lost 6 fexen and have heaps of other unused models due to not magnetising. Thanks a heap GW.
eg. 70+ spinefist gaunts - now too expensive and serve absolutely no purpose when fleshborers are cheaper and much better.
