Hippocampus' 10th ed Nids

[Hippocampus Expert]

Here's a more actual list for playing with... I really like the detachment abilities for Unending Swarm. Tried to include more little stuff that would benefit from it. Feels weird not including any 'thropes, they're much more expensive now but technically still worth it. The new big guns for termies are nice, might have to play pretend that they have those guns in hand for a little while. New box has one copy of the three termie heavy weapons (1x spike rifle, 1x strangleweb, 1x shard launcher etc, with strangleweb looking the best of the options imo) Kinda flip flopping on certain parts of this list.

Hive Tyrant leading Tyrant Guards
Broodlord leading Genestealers
Neurotyrant leading Neurogaunts


Relentless Hunger adds 2" movement to Broodlord's Genestealers which should make them annoying, he also gives them dev wounds with his Vicious Insight ability so I'm hoping to make a shenanigan factory there.

Neurotyrant can give three endless multitudes some early game cover benefits (only usable in round one).

Piercing Talons will probably be useless on the Tyrant Guard because they are always so busy playing "get down Mr President" that they usually don't get to do anything

looks like a fun list!
