carapace for anything beyond warriors is like buying carapace for guardsmen; pointless...
- only the hier to the throne of the kingdom of idiots will NOT target your big gribblies with ap2 or better guns!
- again, only an utter fool doesn't shoot at things like 'stealers with things such as heavy bolters, multi-lasers, ass-cans, shuriken cannons, scatter lasers, burst cannons, missile pods, autocannons, gauss cannons, etc...
high rate of fire + S5/6 and/or ap4. that's the ONLY gun i ever point at a genestealer! (or my deep striking heavy flamer sentinel!lol)

more bodies is ALWAYS the way to go when you're playing a hoard army! why send 10 slightly beefed-up 'mini marines' to do the job that 20 regular joes could do just as easily?! (and typically for the same pts cost...)
quantity over quality wins out every time. (after 3 proxy games for example, my 90 model, 5 TMC 'nid list is unbeaten...)

cheers!
