Ok, so what's the verdict?. We must have a nid player here who has read the dex and formed some early opinions?

My reading is that it won't stand up to Eldar, Tau or individual "power lists" (eg Screamerstar, Nurgle Flying Circus), but is otherwise on a par with the rest of the 6th Ed line.

Can you go with a horde list then? Most nid players I hear moaning, always say they can't make an effective horde list to play?

Yep they've changed terms to 4 points each and Homs to 5 points each with monsters only cost at most 200 points so a horde is easy achieved

He can now field a lot more for a lot less making shooting harder as there's more to worry about and the fact his trygon prime can take an upgrade to make it I7 makes my units dwindle in numbers before attacking back
