Hey guys, really proud of this since its my first and its shiny lol. Having said that, I'd also be happy with some feedback and advice on how this could be improved? Thanks!

Edit: Thanks for the feedback all. Very much appreciated. And thank you for calling out the mistakes too, I thought it was funny that I didnt notice them! Which tends to be a gpod sign that this hobby will probably stick around for me so thank you again. Will try out the suggestions mentioned too.

I wanted to make my Pyrovores look a little bit diffrent to the Biovore and take some inspiration from the old ones without changing the current design to much

Basing/Terrain This is still my favourite tyranid model, all these years later. The malevolence and monstrous delight it gives off are perfect to me. Happy to be putting him and the rest of my old models on new bases this week.

Can definitely improve for the next time but this is what I have done within the time constraint. I tried a few new things and pushed myself on this one, all in all I do love my bug

Competitive Play Need help understanding Maleceptors.

27 Upvotes

Hi all, I’ve heard that Maleceptors are one of our best units and a staple of any good list. I’m curious as what makes them so good. They have an impressive profile and a solid ability, but I’m curious about what interactions propel them into their status.

Game went well had an issue turn 1 tho everything I've seen and read (aswell as everyone else there) says that spore mines can charge after being deployed by biovor but his ai assistant said no so he got a bit stroppy at me so wondering if anyone could clear that up for me who's up to date on the rules and how it works with the abilities to blow up in 3 inch

Been fiddling around with leftovers from my other kitbashes; made this little (13cm) guy. Minicompare suggests that's roughly Mawloc size, but, well, it's Minicompare

New Player Question Do Neurotyrant and Neurolictor abilities stack?

5 Upvotes

Very straight forward question. The Neurotyrant gives its unit +1 to wound against battle shocked units. Neurolictor gives +1 to wound on all attacks against battle shocked units while it's within 12" of that unit. Do these stack? Does a 4+ to wound become a 2+ to wound?

Thanks in advance!

The newest finished bug to the fleet! I didn't like what he was standing on initially so my fiancé used some of his extra Chaos Knights bits

List/Roster Analysis Warriors & Raveners list

Post image
10 Upvotes

Hello Hive Mind.

I’ve been working on an unconventional list based around Warriors and Raveners, Synaptic Nexus and Warrior Bioform detachments.

The Warriors are the meat and potatoes, OC, shooting and mild melee, cheap cost for wounds and 5++, access to AoC with Nexus.

The 2 dirty bricks of Hyper and normal Raveners, these are the anti tank, to steamroll most things.

The Nexus ‘Irresistible Will’ Strat with baked in sustained should make all the above efficient.

What your thoughts on this as a backbone and the supporting unit choices?

Casual Play Planning to run 3 Flyrants, can’t find source that confirms if Paroxysm can stack on a target multiple times.

24 Upvotes

Hey all, title pretty much explains the whole situation. Planning to run 3 Paroxysms, word of mouth and my current understanding suggests it stacks on the conditions that you can’t reduce the enemy’s attacks lower than 1.

Just need an official statement or source I can pull up to verify it. I know that there’s some people who are gonna call bs and I don’t wanna have a 40 minute argument every time.

If I’m actually confidently wrong please correct me before I commit to this bit and buy 2 more kits.
