So I have been thinking about Ard Boyz. Apparently I'm not the only one. It would be pretty nice to walk away with some prize support and maybe a new army. I have been debating whether I want to bring my Wolves or my Nids.
I have not played either army at an Ard Boyz before, so that's a good thing. I think that the Space Wolves list would be quite nasty, and I am more comfortable with my ability to win with it. That being said, I think the Nids might be more fun (not that the Space Wolves wouldn't be fun, mind you).
I figured I would throw out my current ponderings and get all of your feedback on the matter (note both lists are composed of models I own or can get by Ard Boyz without spending monies, which I do not currently have).
I need to make a decision soon-ish, because no matter what army I bring I will not be successful unless I practice, and I would like to start soon.

Pretty obnoxious, I think. The reason for the second pod should be obvious, I think, to allow the Logan-bomb to come down when it will have the greatest impact (either turn one or turn two +, depending upon my opponent's deployment).
And, the Nids list:
Tyranid Prime, Lashwhip/Bonesword, Rending Claws

Genestealers x 13, Toxin Sacs, Broodlord w/Implant Attack & Scything Talons
Genestealers x 13, Toxin Sacs, Broodlord w/Implant Attack & Scything Talons
Gargoyles x 13, Adrenals, Toxins
Tyrannofex, Rupture Cannon
Tyrannofex, Rupture Cannon
Since I'm not using my starting Termagants as cannon fodder, I need another screening unit. Gargoyles fit the bill. They are also nice in that they can move out in a hurry and unclog my lines rather than contributing to the traffic jam. They can also help bail out any Genestealers that get caught in a bad place, and they are mobile enough to be able to screen me from assaults I don't like. Just a good little toolbox unit.
So they are both decent list, I think. Feedback welcome.
