I was wondering if anyone has tried using primary zonathropes as a brood.  I was thinking of

warriors 150pts
6 thropes 300pts
10 bullet shield...er I mean termagaunts 100pts

total 550pts

6 range 30 AP/AT/AA 4+ shots and 3 range 30 AP5+/AT6+.

9 4+ saves and a decent mix of FF and CC attacks.  True it is a bit small for a brood but is a good firebase and the bane of any air assault.

Unless anyone knows of a weakness in this brood I think I've found a replacment for my dead chicken brood.

Really, all you need is enough ZOs to place BMs on air assaults.  With no BMs, you'll always have +2 on resolution.  Air cover is no match for a horde because it simply doesn't do enough damage.

That said, I think it could be a fun formation and I suspect it would be effective.  Whether it's worth taking will probably depend more on the final disposition of Nid arty in the next update.
