Comments and critique please, also how standard of a list is this compared to what the internet deems competitive?

my favorite part of this list is the fact I have 44 t6 wounds, most with regen

Nice list
I suggest takin all regen away and buyuing +1 power per gon then buy as many gaunts as possible with remaining

Well, you are running 5 of our 10 good units in our dex so thats pretty standard. Anything running Tervs, Trygons, Hiveguard, and Flyrants each is pretty cookie cutter.

Keep in mind I run 2-3 Hive Guard, a Tervigon, and usually a flyrant myself, lol. ^_^

Yea I agree, I don't think you'll miss regens that much. Give out a load of extra psychic powers. Roll biomancy. And you'll probs get the one that gives it will not die. I believe it's called endurance and heals on a 5/6. Plus there's a leech life one.

I agree with everyone above
Take out regen for powers or gaunts
Also what power tables can nids roll on?

Yeah, remove the regen. Also, I would consider removing the Genestealer unit and replace the unit with 7 Ymgarls. Removing the claws on the Tervigons would not be a bad idea. Instead, give them Toxin sacs and/or Adrenal glands. If there should be any points left, you could use them on some extra termagants... Or perhaps an extra psychic power for a Tervigon.

I agree with the sentiment that the regen isn't worth it. The odds of it doing anything in any given game aren't good. It just encourages your opponent to burn down a single target rather than spread wounds around and you WANT them to spread wounds around.

I think the crushing claws are a good thing though, if you intend to field your Tervis aggressively and assault with them, the crushing claws are totally worth their points.

Though putting Adrenal Glands and Toxin Sacs on at least one of the tervis preferably both would be a good move though, as well as more psyker powers.

I also agree with replacing the genestealers with Ymgarls.

That said, this list would be effective, but it sounds like you are looking to optimize.

As for the question of which psyker powers we get. Biomancy, Telepathy, and Telekinesis. Though we should almost always take Biomancy. Iron arm in particular makes our MCs frightening to deal with and there is only one bad power in Biomancy, Hemorrhage. You can check out the Tyranid FAQ on Games Workshop's website for details on how the new psyker powers work with our codex.
