As seems usual the thread started here on YTTH, with what looked to be a pretty loopy list but a solid idea. MSU has been on my mind since a pre-Battle for Salvation post "MSU, Mission Design, etc.; Analysis and Observation" from Mike Brandt over at Whiskey & 40k.
Is it possible to build a competitive "MSU" non-MC list for nids? I like the lists PWillis and Chumbalaya posted to get the core idea down:
Chumbalaya:
2 Primes
2x3 Zoanthropes
Deathleaper, HG or Lictors
4x4 Warriors, boneswords, glands, VC
2x20 Gaunts
3x4 Ravs w/ claws
PWillis:
Prime, dubs boneswords, deathspitter, regen
Prime, dubs boneswords, deathspitter, regen
3 Hive Guard
3 Hive Guard
3 Zoanthrope
20 Hormagaunts, toxin
20 Hormagaunts, toxin
4 Warriors, VC, deathspitters
4 Warriors, VC, deathspitters
3 Warriors, VC, deathspitters
3 Warriors, VC, deathspitters
5 Raveners, Rending Claws
4 Raveners, Rending Claws
4 Raveners, Rending Claws
1995 points
I can't help but think a brood of venomthropes might be worth an elite FOC, rather than Deathleaper/Lictors. Is it worth dumping one of the hogaunt broods for a brood of tox/ag gargoyles? It's pretty clear the walking warriors need some cover; are the hogaunts cover or infantry munchers? What about adding biovores, dumping a brood of raveners to help keep some of the hogaunt cover options open? Or dumping the raveners altogether for 'stealers? Lots to think about...
