1000 pt Nids [both]
Hey everyone!
Just decided to redo a couple of my nids and came up with this list that I found works pretty well. If you all had any C&C that would be appreciated much.
---------------------------------------------------
2x Hive Tyrants=366
Wings/ Warpfield, TL-Devs, Barbed Strangler, Enhanced Senses
5x 10 Spine Gaunts=250
3x Carnifex=384
Barbed Strangler, TL-Devs, Spine Banks, Enhanced Senses
---------------------------------------------------
I know I am missing a lot of synapse (specially since my only synapse is flyrants). I probably will change one to a walking rant w/ guard though. Anyways, I used this list a few times with pretty good success( won 3/5 games) I beat a SM list, another Nids list, and even a mech Tau. I lost to Eldar and CSM.
My strat is have the 3 Fexes act as a mobile wall for one of the tyrants until it can get close enough to go into CC, with the gaunts surrounding the group. The other Rant DSs wherever the enemy has their heavy shts coming in from (Havocs, Tanks, Broadsides, etc.)
Anyways, like I already said, I plan on changing the one rant to walking, but other than that, is there anyway I could add more synapse. I really want to keep the fexes becuase I wanted this list to be pie-plate heavy (There is a total of five in there!
)
just to re-state an earlier comment, C&C always appreciated.

Well you have to change one of the flyrants to a walker since it's actually illegal to have two. Your list seems to be really heavily dependent on everyone sticking together. Against a mobile list, you wouldn't fair too well with only a flyrant to get around. Investing in another form of synapse may be helpful to you and re working your strategy so that you may move less as one big block would be useful too. With say a thrope or two, you would be able to break off some gaunts to a separate area for whatever needs you may require.

I'd drop the barb strang for another TL dev on the flyrant.
for the fex, why spine banks and tl dev? you have a 36" gun and then an 18" one. kind of a waste. change the devs to venom cannons, then you have two 36" guns and better tank busting.
as stated before you can only have one tyrant with wings, so that needs to be changed

Yeah, saw that in the codex bout the rants...oops
anyways, I really am trying to steer away from the VC because of the 5th ed. rumors and how glancing won't be good for killing armor.
Anyways, this is my reworked list.
Flyrant=176
W/WF, 2x TL Dev, ES
Tyrant=198
ES,BS, TL Dev, 2 TG
5x 10 Spinegaunts=250
2x Carnifex=296
ES, TL BS, Rch
Thrope=65
WB, Synapse
I have 15 pts left... Any suggestions?
With this I have two walking synapses for my gaunts, two fexes for tankhunting (possibly Thrope too) and a distraction unit (Flyrant), plus 50 gaunts to rune up and take objectives, go CC against units, etc.
