Ok this is the follow up to the "Are nids still competitive" thread i created i made a little while ago. the general consensus seemed to be nidzilla backed up by stealers so heres my attempt at a list. However i havnt played full zilla before and im really not sure about this list. It just seems to have too few troops

Tyrant - Both adrenal, toxin sacs, Implant attack, wings, warp field, 2 Tallons - 197

3 x 8 scuttling feeder tendril stealers - 160 per unit, 480 total

2 x carnifex - WS AG, carapace, Chitin , Toxin sacs, Crushing claws, Tallons - 168 each 336 total

2 dakka Fexs, 2 TL devourers enhanced senses - 113 each 226 total

1 boom fex, barbed strangler and tallons - 113

Sniper fex - venom cannon barbed strangler enhanced senses - 146

this comes to 1498. Problem is that 24 troops and 30 models total just dosnt seem enough. Im really not convinced by this so need all the help i can get as far improving this is concerned. My other thought is to go with a more ballanced list, dropping the dakka fex, and 1 stealer squad for gaunts. ill post this later but my powers about to go. Thanks to all and i hope you can help.

I would probably drop a fex. One of those bad boys running at an opponent is going to draw a lot of fire only thing is it takes them forever to get into h2h. Also, drop a GS brood. Grab a lictor if nothing else for the reserve re-rolls (very deadly for scuttle GS). That should free up about 240 for troops. Maybe drop a dakka and\or one of the other fexes and pick up some warriors for synapse.

hmm that really makes sense. so what ive done is ive dropped both dakka fexs, and the sniper, dropped 1 of the stealer squads all together, added a broodlord to the other and removed any biomorphes on the BL squad. In there place is 2 warrior squads 3 man, with deathspiters and tallons and 40 flesh guants each in 2 squads of 20 shaperoned by a warrior squad. also a second boom fex has been added in. So the list now looks like this.

Tyrant - Both adrenal, toxin sacs, wings, warp field, 2 Tallons - 197

Broodlord and 8 man retinue, broodlord has feeder tendrils and toxin sacs - 83 points for him, 128 for the stealers - 211 total

2 X 3 man warrior squads, All have deathspitters and Sything tallons - 78 each - 156 total

8 genestealers scuttlers and feeders - 160

2 X 20 guants fleshboarers, 120 each 240 total

2 boom fexs, barbed strangler sything tallons - 113 pints each 226 total

2 x carnifex - WS AG, carapace, Chitin , Toxin sacs, Crushing claws, Tallons - 168 each 336 total

This comes out at 1526 points so ill have to drop something somewhere, but for the time im far happier with this list.

I think your Tyrant should cost 209 points.

I think you missed either TS or IA in the points total.

Good spot, edited IA out shouldnt have been put in.

As a thought, what about dropping a warrior squad and a guant squad to put in another 8 man scuttling feeder stealer squad. That brings me back under points budget to and i could include the IA.
