the first two things i agree with. the idea about horde armies is that individually they are horrible, but together they overrun. large blasts are a problem with any army, but these are deadly against horde. imperial guardsmen with alot of morters are also a problem, because no matter where the barrage lands, its probrobly going to hit SOMETHING.
trying to kill all of the synapse is a problem. in a tournament list, one would probrobly have all warriors for hq and elites. big broods of warriors are extremely tough to bring down, as with a brood of 4 for example. 8 warriors with a devourer/ ST and 1-2 biomorphs would only be about, on average, 1/10th of your list. however, thats 16 wounds at t4, and you probrobly will have 2-3 more broods like this. trying to bring down all of the synapse is a very bad idea, and ive only seen it work when the nid player had 3 zoes and a hive tyrant with tons of small guys.
