Heavy Support Question

[oneeleven]

So, being a new nid player I have seen the advent of biovores, trygons & dakkafexes. I have ruled out biovores at the moment, as I love the big bugs & am moving towards a MC nidzilla type list. Having said that, I have a question.

I see many people saying that, in regards to the big bugs, if you take one you should probably have two. Do people prefer two trygons & one dakkafex or two dakkafex supported with a trygon? I am leaning towards two dakkafex in spores supported with a deepstriking trygon prime.

Reason for this is that the dakkafex has a low leadership so I don't want it coming in & shooting for one turn then raging & not doing what I primarily field it for & that's shooting. The trygon prime will lend deep backfield synapse to hopefully help control the dakkafex. Is this a viable strategy or am I way off on this? I look forward to hearing the rest of the opinions from the hive mind on this one. Thanks.

Look at the rest of your army. If you have Flying Hive Tyrants, (Flyrants) then you wont need to worry much about synapse on the far side of the board as they will be in range. Also the Swarmlord has a huge range for his Synapse. Shrikes can get there fast as well.

There are many ways to get forward synapse, so you will have to look as what you play with overall to find what fits.

Thank you for the response. My list actually uses both a flyrant & the swarmlord so that should help with some of the forward synapse. I'll try the list both with the prime upgrade & without & see how it fares. Again, thank you for the comment.
