Focus in this thread will be on Tyranid Warriors and Tyranid Prime. I’ve used the Prime recently to fill up as a cheap HQ slot. Packed with double boneswords. What’s your preferred equipment option? Is there space in your list for some warriors? What do you like pairing them with? Hive fleet preference?

Let’s start the new year with ... I thought we could start of 2020 with our much beloved genestealers! I run them basically in every list, even with the changes. Is it the same for you? Do you run genestealer nodes and if so in what situations? Also what HQ do you like to run with them? I generally take a broodlord with.

Hello fellow nid lovers. Time for another unit discussion thread. This time from the fast attack pool: raveners and the red terror - I used to run these a lot in my lists for their death from below ability. But they never really did well/ make the charge . Anyone having the same observations or work around? - I did buy the red terror but hardly fielded it. Partly cause I realized that I don’t like the look of him. ( I know, silly reason) Is it a good unit to field? What would you guys recommend?
