At 1750 a nidzilla would be what.. 8 monsterous creatures? Less is more. Go Hybrid, in this case 5. Tactics with this list is that all the winged units on the first turn fly up and unload. Yes they will die off but that first turn punch will pay off later. The ground based HT move forward with the Zonethropes and the cracked out rippers taking the lead with leaping. Your Elite Warriors go for the center. Lictors always drop in danger close to other units, at the very edge of the terraign piece. Try it, you'll like it. Good Hunting! (this method will drasticly change in 5th ed however, swarms cannot take objectives) E.
