This is how you should use nydus worms, I started playing Zerg solely to use nydus worms like the tunnels from zero hour
and no, once you start working it into your play it's not extremely expensive, and it certainly is not a "gimmick" - it's something you can do every game in mid-late game, especially to connect all your bases together, and rally hatcheries into nydus worms, it lets you have your army anywhere on the map you want it to be.
I'm a Terran player though and only had just started to learn Zerg and develop this Z style, so just imagine what more experienced Zerg-only players can start doing with this when they stop playing stubborn
it's good late game.

looool. I was about to make a "Is this avilo offracing?" joke.
But yeah, that many really is super expensive. You could've just made 10 mutas and attacked his nat with all those roaches while you killed his probes at his main with your mutas.
Though as zergs I think we need to learn how to use nydus networks better. I rarely see them used ever. I think a good way to use them would be like the way tosses use pylons to warp in units. We should at least make a nydus outside their base and near our expos that are far away from our main. And also an extra one if there are any openings inside his base.
