Here is a copy of the list that I ran for the first and last time on 6/28/09. It is submitted strictly for scholarly review and not something I ever plan on using again, due to its incredibly piss poor performance.

HQ

Tyranid Warriors (4)- 1 (venom cannon; toxin sacs; rending claws; enhanced senses; flesh hooks) 1 (deathspitter; scything talons; flesh hooks; enhanced senses; toxin sacs) 1 (deathspitter; scything talons; flesh hooks; enhanced senses; toxin sacs) 1 (deathspitter; scything talons; enhanced senses; toxin sacs)
~150 points

Elite

Tyranid Warriors (4)- 1 (Barbed strangler; scything talons; toxin sacs; enhanced senses; flesh hooks) 1 (scything talons x2; flesh hooks) 1 (scything talonsx 2; flesh hooks); 1 (scything talons; spinefist; flesh hooks)
~110 points

Troops

Genestealers (8) feeder tendrils
~136 points

gaunt brood(16)- fleshborers; without number
~144 points

gaunt brood (10)- devourers; toxin sacs
~100 points

hormagaunts (10)
~100 points

Fast Attack
NONE

Heavy Support
Carnifex- twin-linked devourer; twin-linked devourer; enhanced senses
~113 points

Carnifex- Scything Talons; crushing claws; bio plasma; spine banks; extended carapace; scything tail
~166 points



Now, here is what I would have done differently: drop the hormagaunts and the "without number" rule in favor of scuttling genestealers. these would be used to outflank or come in from normal reserve and open up vehicles or power armored units. without numbers is sort of cool, but I think it really only would have made an impact in a much larger game.

Yeah man, more Genestealers would also be my advice. The last time you played 'Nids, the Genestealers completely wrecked me.

Yeah, those fexes were vehicle killing machines in our game DFM. Especially the one with the robster craws. Note to anybody wishing to play nids: bio plasma is totally worth the cost on a carnifex.

Well, at least they were successful in drawing 2 turns worth of excorcist and immolator fire. and then your seraphim landed and set my genestealers on fire.....
