Hive Tyrant: 2 Twin-Linked Devourers, Enhanced Senses, and Wings

Hmm... this guy look great... with the wings, you'll move fast, and then you can bust up squads w/ all those shots, plus, with 2D6 Armor pentatration, you can still do a decent bit of damage to tanks.

Elites:

3 Lictors

240 pts

From what I've heard, lictors are better as a scare factor than an actual unit. And, the few times I've faced one, it did NOTHING. If I was using this army, I would replace these with some raveners...

Troops:

8 Genestealers

128 pts

One problem with these guys... YOU NEED EXTENDED CARAPACE! Believe me... with only Sv 5+ you will get OWNED. It does add to their cost, but it is so worth it.

Oh, and while you're at it, consider a broodlord... most viscous CC model I've ever seen... on the charge, 5 I7 power rending attacks... scary.


16 Termagaunts

96 pts

Not sure why you're using these guys, actually. If I were you, I'd drop them for more 'stealer points. That, or drop 'stealers for more gaunts. As, honestly, you'll need a lot more than 16 to get these guys across the table in 1500pts, IHMO.

16 Hormagaunts

160 pts

Evil, evil, evil units! The worst thing that can happen to someone when facing these guys is CC on turn one...

Heavy Support:

3 Zoanthropes with warp blast and synapse

195 pts

The only problem with these guys is the lone lascannon sydrome. but, other than that, they look great.

Carnifex: 2 pairs of scything talons, tusked, toxin sacs, adrenal glands(WS), and reinforced chitin(not sure if I should take reinforced chitin)

136 pts

I would dump reinforced chitin. Also, just as a suggestion, make this guy a ranged 'fex. Give him a twin-linked Barbed Strangler, toxin sacs, and enchanced senses. That's a BS3 twin-linked S9 Large Blast... very tasty. And, honestly, the 'fex is quite slow, making it hard to get into CC.

Carnifex: venom cannon, barbed strangler, and enhanced senses

148 pts

Love this guy.

Army Total: 1500 pts exactly
Your army, as it stands, is great... the above are just a few suggestions one how I would build a 'nid army.
