My idea of Nidzilla

[killercroc]

Hey all! Finally sat down for a bit and made a list for my Nidzilla army and I think this might just be a good one!

HQ:
Tervigon- Scything talons, Cluster spines, Catalyst- 180 pts.

Elites:
Hive guard- 2x- 100 pts.

Hive guard- 2x- 100 pts.

Troops:
Tervigon- Scything talons, Cluster spines, Catalyst- 180 pts.

Gaunts- Fleshborer- 20x- 100 pts.

Heavy Support:
3x- Screamer killers- 2x Scything talons, Frag spines, Toxin sacs, Bio-plasma- 585 pts.

2x- Dakkafex- 2x- Tl-Devourers- 380 pts.

2x- Dakkafex- 2x- Tl-Devourers- 380 pts.

Total: 2,005 pts.

So all in all it has 2 Tervigon, 4 Hive guard, and 6 Carnifex, equaling to 44 T6 wounds which is quite a bit, for 2,000. And on top of that there are all those little gaunts! Running around, holding objectives and being meat shields. I added the Hive guard because sometimes you never know how many vehicles you're gonna face. And True Carnifex and crush any vehicle to dust in combat it takes them a while to get there, so having a little 24" threat range to all light/medium vehicles is a load of the Carnifex work, so they can focus on easier units to crush like Infantry (especially marines)

Hey Croc, nice to see you're back with the great devourer!

WHile it looks very Nidzilla, I think you're too low on Troops. Unless you want to go for tabling your opponent, 2 Troops is not enough for 2000 points. If you encounter a smart opponent, he will focus fire on the Troop tervi and kill it in one turn. And if you're unlucky enough to have the HQ tervi poop out after the first spawn, you are left with only two units of termagants.

Then again, 7 fexes crossing the table can really screw with your opponent's target priority. ;D

I'd drop one hive guard, turn the 20 termagants into two troop units, make the HQ tervigon a troop tervigon then spend 10 points upgrading one dakkafex to a dakka hive tyrant. The beauty is you have screamer killer carnifexes so you can use the devourer and deathspitter arms from those guys to make the dakka tyrant (because they don't come with dev/DS arms)

Alternatively you could keep the hive guard and just remove the bio plasma from the screamer killers. That seems like a shame, but it's an option. You could also even switch two dakkafexes for two dakka hive tyrants. I don't really like the idea of two hive tyrants for one force organisation chart (just for fluff reasons) but you could definitely use the synapse
