thoughts on 2000 pt list

[yadnthewise]

Hello all

Throwing together a list for a small tournament with a bunch of mates. It's been a little while since I've played my nids so looking for some thoughts on how this lot might do in 6th. The list is a little limited by what models I have and how much my wife will let me spend on new ones

Guys I'm playing against are not super competative and tend not to go for deathstar lists.

Flyrant
Twin linked devourers (x2)

Swarmlord

2x tyrant guard


TROOPS

10x termies

30 hormagaunts

25 gargoyles


HEAVY SUPPORT

Trygon prime



General idea is to use tervigons and termies for objective grabbing close to home (probably swapping out terv powers for biomancy). Many players in the group are quite reactive, so hormagaunts, gargoyles, and trygon are there to get in faces quickly and force reactions hopefully occupying key units for a chunk of the game (will probably split units down to be smaller). Flyrant is for flyer defence or for popping vehicles. Biovores for the many guard and eldar players. Swarmlod is there partly for fear factor and for small units of terminators etc which always seem to be deep striking around . Swarmy will probably swap powers for telekinesis.

Anyway, thanks for reading. Would love to hear your thoughts.

It seems pretty solid. My only problem is you have nothing (except the flyrant) to take down tanks with an AV of 11+ until the Tervigons/Trygon/Swarmlord come into play. That might be a problem against a few armies...

The 30 hormagaunt squad will be a little cumbersome, I think the general consensus is that the optimal size is 15-20. Consider dropping some of them and something else to get some hive guard?

I hadn't spotted that. I used to use podding zoeys in 5th -maybe a bit expensive points wise.
