Consider the following to be the official changes that will appear in the next Nid list that will be put up.
1. LSN can only teleport. And cost 50pts.
2. Termagant cost 15pts.
3. Exocrine A brood(3).
4. Harridan cost to 200pts.
5. Drop cost of bio-titans by 25pts (Not Dominatrix)
Consider the following to be experimental ideas to try...
1. Genestealer CC 4+
2. Drop cost of bio-titans by 50pts (Not Dominatrix)
3. Drop Raveners to "Free" if it is Christmas Day AND it is snowing in Death Valley.
4. Spawning: Spawning occurs as part of the Rally Phase with each Swarm led by a Synapse Group being allowed to Spawn 1D6 (If it is led by a Dominatrix then it is 2D6), and each group being allowed to add a maximum of ONE Myecetic Spore to their spawning. Under this rule NO spawning occurs during the course of a turn.
I must apologize, work has had me running like mad the last two days and I haven't had a chance to finish the Nid vs Tau batrep. The Maps are done, and so is half the report, now I have the last half to type up. I am shooting for Sunday/Monday to have it up.
Sorry again 
Thanks All
Jaldon

Is the spawning in the rally phase automatic or do we test using the same conditions as other armies in the rally phase?

Thats ok Jaldon - I know how long it takes to type up a battle report, and thats with only 1500pts!!! 
I second Markconz's question - when's the new list likely to appear?

Automatic
Any news on when do you expect an updated version to be in the vault? |
Your guess would be as good as mine. I ask, I question, I get no replys concerning the posting of the list in the vault. I will e-mail Andy again and see what happens.
Thanks All
Jaldon

Automatic |
Why automatic? Shouldn't this be "disruptable" by nearby enemy units? Seems odd that the Tyranid player doesn't have to make the initiative test in the end phase like other armies performing a regroup-like activity.

As well, this makes Lesser Nodes *incredibly* vulnerable as they will have nothing to do or protect themselves with for the whole turn in which they appear.

So if my opponent teleports in a couple of nodes near my blitz objective I can surround them with scouts to prevent spawning?

Yep, unless the rule changes, you can't spawn into a zone of control.
