In the ass swarm the pyrovores are your Frontline. You push them to middle, they have an ok OW and behind of them you put the guard with the tyrants.

You can cut a norn, pyrovores are essentials

That Subterranean list is 2275 points, not to mention that there are two red terrors. Drop a red terror and a set of hormagaunts and a lash prime and you're at 2k on the nose.

Thanks for this. I started collecting at the end of 10th edition cause I love norns and wanted something other than necrons. I've been wanting to try synaptic nexus instead of assimilation swarm (aka necronids) and this list looks fun (probably would drop the third emissary for some lash whips and gaunts).

3 zoanthrope can climb onto a ruin to get the bonus.

What do you mean nobody's playing Priority Assets Assimilation Swarm? That's what I was playing and I switched to Take and Hold on YOUR recommendation 😂

Been finding Take and Hold a lot easier. Parking two Norns on objectives and them being difficult to shift is nice. Played the Reconnaissance matchup last night and that one was a bit rough, as you have to try and kill units as well as hold the objectives.

I personally rather run priority with my assimilation swarm.

Hey, can you give me some feedback?

Swarmlord as Warlord
The Red Terror
3x Norn Emissary
3x Maleceptor
Biovores
Neurolictor
Acid Tyrannofex

That's Talons + Crusher with Take and Hold.

Works very good for me.
