2000 points first try at the new Codex
« on: February 9, 2010, 11:27:59 PM »
Okay, before I start typing out the list, I'm going to give you a list of the models I have available:

2 Hive Tyrants - 1 with 4x Scything Talons, 1 with 2x Scything Talons and Stranglethorn Cannon
1 Broodlord
3 Zoanthropes
2 Lictors
9 Warriors - 4x Deathspitters, the rest are melee.
40 Hormagaunts
40 Termagaunts
30 Genestealers
4 Raveners (metal)
2 Carnifex with 2x Scything Talons, 2x Crushing Claws

If you think there is something I really need and I should consider buying in the near future (Mawloc/Trygon/Hive Guard) feel free to let me know. As you can see these miniatures were acquired before the newest Tyranid models/codex.

Hive Tyrant w/ Scything Talons x2, Implant Attack, Regeneration - 205 pts
Hive Tyrant w/ Scything Talons, Stranglethorn Cannon, Implant Attack, Regeneration - 225 pts
Zoanthrope - xx pts
Zoanthrope - xx pts
Zoanthrope - xx pts
Warrior Brood: 5 Warriors w/ Scything Talons & Deathspitters - 150 pts
Warrior Brood: 4 Warriors w/ Scything Talons & Devourers - 140 pts
30 Hormagaunts - 180 pts
30 Termagaunts - 150 pts
14 Genestealers & Broodlord w/ Scything Talons - 258 pts
Ravener Brood: 4 Raveners w/ Scything Talons x2 - 120 pts
Carnifex w/ Scything Talons x2, Regeneration - 185 pts
Carnifex w/ Scything Talons, Crushing Claws, Regeneration - 205 pts

What I'm really looking for help with is all the new upgrades available. If you feel like I'm taking something that's not worth it and should be taking (other biomorphs etc) please let me know. I'm also unsure as to what psychic powers I should take for my Tyrants. What about anti-tank weaponry, do I have enough? Are there some weapon combinations I should look into adding in the future?

A couple things I really like about this list is that I have 4 Synapse units (2 Tyrants & Warriors) as well as 5 scoring units. 4 Monstrous creatures, 16 midsized creatures, and 65 small nids (including Broodlord) seems like a very good mix of numbers and size. I didn't try and take anything elaborate like Mycetic Spores because this is my first nid army and I just wanted to take as many close combat killers as I could.
