For the unending swarm, off-detachment pick but the critical wound enhancement actually has synergy with hyperadapted Raveners, because their 5+’s also count as critical wounds into monster/vehicle

Great vid thanks, planning to run 2 of each norns in assimalation/norn queen detachments with a tyrant 6 guard immovable object to sit inbetween the 2 x 2 norns as they push onto the objectives

I've the same plan of taking assimilation swarm with talon of the norn. Then switching to vanguard. This depends on when I get my 20 ravenors built and painted

Been waiting for this one.

the day has finally come where Assimilator is almost auto into AS, ive been waiting for this 😭
genuinely my favorite tyranid model and his glow up is phenomenal. also those 3 boxes of pyrovores i bought is paying off lol
but now its time to cave in and grab up hive/tyrant guard. was wanting them since they got play in Subterra but seeing them slot in that list makes me want them even more!
that list looks super fun i need to give it a try! thanks!

How about a Hirophent Bio-Titan list with the 10th addition combat potrol box set, like what would be a good list to try and obtain using these units.

just coming back to 40k after a long gap, really excited to get some brainbugs on the table so im gonna be exploring synaptic nexus a fair bit

You sir, are a god!

The assimilation swarm is 2010, im thinking of removing the ripperswarms and adding a extra upgrade

So for the assimilation swarm, you're playing the 6 hive guard in reserve with a pyrovore? I really love this list and i really want to try it

So wait am I understanding this correctly that unending swarm doesn't have as good as healing/revival of the swarm as Invasion fleet? I thought that was the point of the word 'unending'? In the words of that nerd from the Simpsons "I sure hope someone was fired over that one" 😆

what weapon loadout would you run the hive tyrant in your synapse list? just keep him stock or would you take one of the guns?

Kind of hard to even fit a blob of 20 gargoyles inside of a 9" bubble

Any chance you will do a synaptic nexus build with battleshock shenanigans?

I like the Assimilation swarm list and wanna try it out. I wanted to ask why the swarmlord over the hive tyrant. I get that the extra command point is more versatile then the free point within 12 inches along with more expensive strats for your opponent. But between the Pyrovores, Hive guard and Zoeys, all the shooting bugs are pretty slow. I would imagine that have a be more flexibility with moving units around with assault would make the difference. But just my thoughts on it.

In the invasion fleet, why not combine the hormagaunts for a big brick with the lash whip prime?

I really wish my neurogaunts did more than just spread synapse and die😔

Btw everyone u can no longer shoot ur zoans in combat with a neurotyrant

I can’t tell if I’m messing something up but is the invasion fleet list only 1915?
