you need synapse creatueres in order to play (its all in the 'dex, dont worry). basically, you need
1) a hive tyrant (great choice but expensive in all ways)
2) warriors (decent but they die young)
3) zoanthropes (floating psychic heads with a 2+ armor save)

Just 1 I'd say.
I'm not really an expert on 'Nids, but I do have the Codex here somewhere.
I'd say probably go for the Zoanthrope, 'cos it's the cheapest (money-wise) of the three. That said, one lascannon shot and it'll probably be gone...

No.. but you can use warriors as GQ <it was on a list on the GQ list> and warriors are only elites. Zanathropes are heavy choice....good night time for me to go.

Hive Tyrant is HQ
Warriors are HQ or elites
Zoanthropes are HS
Gaunts, genestealers, rippers are troops

A Zoanthrope is positivly useless - Take a unit of warriors or two -one with Leaping Legs to go with the Hormagaunts

termagaunts are anything but useless- go to the back 'grow your own' army and give them enhanced senses and toxic sacs, and they are BS4 and S5, basically a huge heavy bolter with @ 20 shots.
this list is the way to go, you can also improve the warriors armor save so that they can actually survive bolter shots.
i wouldn't glue the stuff together before giving the codex a good looking over.
if vegetarians eat vegetables, i guess that makes me a humanitarian

Yeah Im just gonna assemble my first box of hormaguants because I dont realy know the weapons for termaguants, and 9 units (8guants and 1 swarm) can give me a bit of work, and ill try and give me ripper swarma cool looking base to giveme some time to burn until i can get more money for codex.
