1,500 Nid-Zilla

[nyanlion]

Hey Guys, trying out a 1,500 point Nidzilla list, tell me what you think

HQ
Hive Tyrant- Whip+Sword, Stranglethorn, Hive Commander= 215
Tyrant Guard= 60

Elites
3 Zoanthropes= 180

Troops
5 Warriors- 4 Deathspitters, 1 Barbed Strangler= 185
25 Termagants = 125

Heavy Support
3 Carnifexes= 480
1 Trygon Prime= 240

This leaves me with 15 points left over. I'm not firm on keeping anything so by all means nitpick away! any advice/criticism is totally welcome! Cheers

Vanilla Carnifexen are terrible, Dakkafexen are the only viable way to run them. I'd drop atleast one for a Tervigon minimum.
Devourers are a much better gun than STC for Tyrant
If your Tyrant doesn't have wings, give him AS so he doesn't get stuffed at the Krak buffet

Actaully this one just some changes to the trygona nd regen for the Harpy and tyrant.

Run the Tyrant with the Hive guard just as a massive tank killer brood.
Doom can pod going for elites infantry ect.
Tervis will spawn and move to target taking light vechicles or spamming gaunts to elite units as well.
The Trygon will provide some great distracts and look after the bigger boys your opponent might bring.

Hope thisis Nid Zilla for ya!!

Deadlink97, it is impossible for a HVC to pen-wreck a vehicle unless it is opentopped. It is worthless unless you face Necron Warriors constantly.

[GuardDog78]

^^^ or orks...it does wonders on their stuff.

[Deleted]

STC will wound orks on a 2+ as well and has a large blast plus pinning. HVCs only upside is causing ID which keeps Necrons from standing back up.

[GuardDog78]

I thought that ID no longer did that in their current codex...
Anyway...HVC gets regular pen rolls on trukks and battlewagons cause their open topped...
I don't use'm personally...i stick to h-guard, zoeys/dfex in pods or flyrants for opening stuff up these days...but it's not a total waste of a weapon (ie, see spinefist gants)

[nyanlion]

Just to put it in perspective the armies i usually face are: Blood Angels, Grey Knights, Vanilla Marines, Guard, and Necrons

[Deleted]

Since you are mostly facing 3+ I would drop the Harpy. Lots of point for not much use.

[Squire]

For nidzilla I think I'd be heavy on cheap MC's to try to get more on the table. If you really wanted to have basically nothing but MC's you could have eight in a 1500 point army

Hive Tyrant

Tervigon
10 termagants
Tervigon
10 termagants

3 carnifexes
Mawloc
Mawloc

Which leaves 90 points to spend on upgrades. Maybe armoured shell for the hive tyrant because it's quite a tempting target. Then again, maybe you could just accept that it's going to die and leave it at 170 points (only ten more than a vanilla carnifex)

Mawlocs burrow on T1 and try to deal with shooting threats. With some luck one of them should be able to take down a devastator squad on T2, and ideally they'll then both be in place to assault vehicles the next turn (the vehicles have nowhere to run because of the other MC's charging up the table). The army has 4 troop choices to begin with, but if both tervigons get two spawns each you'll get 8 troops over the course of the game. Enough for objectives.

In any event, that would be 40 monstrous creature wounds on the table. It might not have any shooting capabilities (although you would have the leftover points to make the 3 carnifexes dakkafexes) but still, 8 monstrous creatures...

[nyanlion]

uh i didn't include a Harpy 60mm? and thanks everyone i'll try and form up a revised list, obviously i have limitss (lack of needed models/money to get them) but i'll try and form a list that looks more like theses haha, Cheers!
