2500 Point Nids - *Insert Swarmlord Here*

So yeah, this is just the 2500 point scale-up of my 2k list. And I get to use my awesome Hive Tyrant of awesome.

Some subtle changes from the 2k list, along with the addition of the Swarmlord beater/support unit. Main changes are dropping toxins and going with the larger units on the Genestealers (more firepower at 2.5k means more bodies are a better bet, methinks). Also, giving preferred enemy to 45 attacks just strikes me as... obnoxious. And hilarious.

The Swarmlord reserve bonus combined with the loss of the twin Primes means that the Zoeys get to ride in a pod rather than hoof it. The Prime will attach to the Deathstar. This means I get to use Onslaught on the twin Hive Guard squads if necessary. Just some subtle little changes when going to 2.5k.
