brother_contagion Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 With Unbound armies being completely customizable, I was thinking of using the rules for the Mawloc as a type of crypt worm for my Nurgle army (assuming it doesn't need Synapse, I don't know much on Tyranid units). I had a model in mind, but I need to go back and find it on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaolin_Monkey Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Sounds like an awesome idea. Keen to see the model you had in mind. This would work pretty well with a nice rusty paint job. http://www.miniaturescenery.com/ProductPage.asp?Code=STELWYRM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother_contagion Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 This is the one I had in mind: http://www.architectsofwar.com/purpleworm.aspx But on second thought, I think the one you mentioned fits much better! All I think it might need is some flesh-bits to make it into a nice Nurgle daemon engine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ravel Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 As a Tyranid player, I can tell you that it needs Synapse. Yet it's not too bad. You will basicly charge the nearest unit (on a roll of 1-2-3-4-5) or do that with rage (on 6). It's pretty much what you would do with a Mawloc anyway.

brother_contagion Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 What are some worthwhile upgrades for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teetengee Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 You may consider the trygon, as it can be made into a synapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ravel Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 The strenght of the Mawloc comes from the fact that its dirt cheap for what it does. It's the price of 4 Rhino to get T6 W6 MC with all the goodies + it can do up to 2 blast ap 2 when it comes out. If you absolutly want to give it an upgrade that is not buying another Mawloc, I would suggest Regeneration (2 plasma) that is always good since its basicly IWND. The fact that it can re-borrow makes it very awesome sauce because even if you don't manage to destroy the unit you emerge on, and take a missap, you have a good chance of having your opponent placing it somewhere on the board only for him to reemerge next turn. The Trygon is much beastier in CC, the Trygon Prime more so because of the upgrade, but its main feature (digging a hole in the ground for future reserve) is A. quite useless since you have a great chance that everything will come out on the same turn as the Trygon or before B. only affects other friendly Tyranid unit.

Shaolin_Monkey Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Another thought however is the fact that the Trygon Prime can now take artifact bio weapons including one which is a blast poison weapon. That would fit quite well with a nurgle theme. a big beastie that rips out of the ground to munch on people and vomit poison everywhere? Yes, please papa nurgle!
