From what i hear, unless you take gaunts in huge numbers, your better off not taking them at all. so i would try to kome up with an addition 160 to upgrade one of em to 32, but id say its prefered to upgrade both. also it would be good to make the stealers 12 because they will get lots of firepoer thrown at them. and about the warriors, you have alot of points put into there, but one krak missle and one is intakilled. I could probably instakill that entire unit with one battle cannon shot, so id get rid of them and get more gaunts and stealers. however, i don't play nids, i play guard

illegal army list.

you must also tell us the whole nid list you have created for your army. otherwise we do not know how many spicies you have and sicne that is a basis for the number of mutants you must tell it.

but to the list itself i wouldnt really use the make your own list if you ar enot good with nids. you have fallen in the trap to make gaunts expensive. you need a horde of gaunts nto a few tough ones. the nid army is the classic horde army and without large numbers you will struggle

you have 62 models. a standard IG army would be twice that and then tanks.. he would shoot you to heck fast

you still havent written down the complete fleet list that you choose units from! you MUST do that!

i will say again, if yoiu are new pick from the standard list, it is much easier. but this list looks better

It was constructive! It would be better with different names. krak is a kind of Imperial explosive. not much relevence to tyranids. and since the imperium speaks a mix of greek and latin, and "hydro" is greek for "water" that dosent make since either. go for something like sperno(scorn), ungula(claw), or horrificus(fear). just trying to help.

when you make your hive fleet list from where you pick your units you do not mention mutants there and you mnust pick from each category. you havent picked any fast attack
