Returning to the Hive

[duo6528]

Hey everyone first post here but finally getting back into my nids since playing them back in 4th ed. Looking for some tips and ideas and a good point to start with maybe a new unit or 2 to start to help bring my army up to snuff Thanks for any help. Here's what I got

Hive Tyrant x 2
Warrior x 3
Hormagaunts x 21
Termagaunts x 34
Genestealers x 17 (but leaning to more running some as ymgarl)
Lictor x 1
Zoan x 1
Carnifex x 1
Red Terror x 1 (prolly make into a prime)
Biovore x 1
Ripper Swarms x 5

Welcome to the Hive!

Since 4th... wow, a lot of catching up to do. Time to bust out the rule book and codex and start reading.

All of the HQ selections are viable depending on your build, with the parasite being used the least. You will find that most people fill their elite slots with Hive Guard, Doom of Malantai, and Zoanthropes. Termagaunts have become a mainstay as well as Tervigons for troops. Gargoyles and raveners are the most common fast attack units. The whole heavy support section is viable depending on your build. IMO biovores are worth their weight in gold. There is my 30 second synopsis, ask more questions as you are reading the rules. There are alot of little things that need clarification.
