ServoBadger Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I still have three unbuilt Tyranid Warriors on the sprue from the Deathstorm box set, and I don't have a Tyranid Prime. Any suggestions on a good build, since there's a new Codex now? Thanks!

Xenith Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Boneswords, deathspitter. Same as ever, really. Your choice of combat weapon, but the spitters has the range to keep him safe. I think either claws or swords are better off just taking one pair. Swords are more reliable. TBH, unless you have a lot of warriors, the neurothrope had made the prime a bit redundant. You might be better with 3 warriors.

You might be better with 3 warriors. Pretty much this, I run my Primes with deathspitters and rending claws. One thing to add is that you can replace the rending claws with The Maw-claws of Thrax to get re-rolls after you kill a dude against the the model type of the victim. Sadly no warrior size bonesword artefact. If you wanted to run a pure melee prime, quad bone swords sounds (and probably looks) badass Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/341325-good-tyranid-prime-equipment/#findComment-4931294 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other thought were sword/spinefist warriors as they would also look cool, however spinefists are still a bit gank. Still, 23pts per model with pair or swords and a spinefist, getting an extra 3 shots with the pistol if they get locked in combat.

Bukimimaru Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I've got mine loaded out with Claws and Swords, which is useless now. Might have to pop his arms off and stick another Deathspitter on there.
