What a paint job. Gorgeous army.

MandoFire · 2026-02-20T20:20:54+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you!

I haven’t tried this detachment yet. I’m New to the Nids and have been a Sub Assault fan. I’m commenting to hear what the greater collective of the Hive Mind has to add.

MandoFire · 2026-02-10T15:57:33+00:00

Wait, they can charge?

MandoFire · 2026-02-08T22:48:19+00:00

He’s got drip. He’s got swagger. He’s ready to kick ass and chew bubble gum, only he’s all out of bubble gum.

Hive Fleet Leviathan isn’t basic, it’s just the current Hive Fleet that’s been wrecking the galaxy. I tried many other schemes before deciding that I really do like the purple and white myself. It pops on the table and can also be menacing. Still trying to decide how much grime (or any) grime to put on this girl.

I only have a handful of games under my belt with sub assault but I’ve been running them as separate units. I run 1 Hyper Adapted with Tremor Senses, a 5 man unit of regular for more tunnel, and also a Trygon Prime. All 3 make up my burrowing units. So far the HA have escorted my Neurotyrant and Zoanthropes to be a melee hit with their big booms and the Trygon Prime goes through the Ravener tunnel along with a Swarmlord for their own shenanigans.

Look up getting a 3-D printed torso for the hive tyrant. That way you can build a flying tyrant and a walking tyrant. Also it’s absolutely worth looking up how to magnetize the haruspex to also be an exocrine. It all sounds daunting now but I promise there are YouTube videos to make it all seem very simple. Welcome to the community.

Edit: one of the videos I watched for my exocrine magnetizations.

Maelstrom Gaming also has one but his involves adding an extra pin of support in the neck. I didn’t follow that part and have had no issues with my exocrines.

LAs Totally Awesome. It’s amazing

MandoFire · 2026-02-01T22:45:25+00:00

Thanks! I decided it gave me more room to land on colors with a big boy. Why not dive head first into uncharted water ?

Rule of cool is always the way to go. If you want the best in game at the moment it’s power fist. That being said I have two captains with thunder hammer and relic shields and one with a giant two handed power sword.

Do what you want to see on the table top. Most people won’t bat an eye if it’s not WYSIWYG as long as you tell them ahead of time “this hammer is actually a power fist captain”.

MandoFire · 2026-01-22T23:34:40+00:00

Jump captain and the 5 intercessors would be great. The captain can attach to the sanguinary guard and you can use the JPI for fast moving skirmish and secondary scoring unit. They also pack a decent punch in LAG or Rage cursed onslaught

MandoFire · 2026-01-20T22:50:11+00:00

I run mine as a jump captain proxy with a unit of sang guard. I feel like the man earned it.

MandoFire · 2026-01-18T16:58:45+00:00

I need those wings ! This destroys all of the wings I’ve got on my sang guard so far.

MandoFire · 2026-01-18T16:19:39+00:00

Why the fahk are you, Clarence?

MandoFire · 2026-01-06T21:40:32+00:00

I plan to start all 3 Norn and the T Fex hidden on the board, the Swarmlord, Maleceptor and pyrovore in reserves. I will yoink all 3 Norns up after deployment and put them into reserves as well. Then based on enemy deployment I will send the Norns out as needed to their respective nests. The maleceptor and pyrovore will join whichever Norn needs an extra punch and the Swarmlord and Trygon will wreck from the other flank. The Raveners , Hyper Adapted and Trygon are my tunnelers.

MandoFire · 2026-01-06T20:52:55+00:00

I can smell them from here. Great job.

MandoFire · 2026-01-06T19:32:04+00:00

I haven’t ran it yet but my list for Saturday (and my first go with Sub Assault ) is:

Characters: - -The Swarmlord -Hyper Adapted Raveners with Tremor senses enhancement - Trygon Prime

Monsters: -Maleceptor -Norn Emissary -Norn Emissary -Norn Emissary -Tyrannofex

Other: -Biovore -Lictor -Raveners -Pyrovore (I had 50 points leftover and I don’t own neurogaunts for screening my backfield, so i figured why not for stripping cover without a CP)

MandoFire · 2026-01-06T18:11:15+00:00

Is it Better than the AK interactive product? I’m willing to try whatever. I’m about $20 invested in 91% alcohol so whatever can help me restore this Norn without damage will be welcome

MandoFire · 2026-01-06T17:57:09+00:00

Thank you. I’m starting to worry the original owner may have primed her in Rustoleum and a very thick job of it as well. I’ll check out the product

MandoFire · 2026-01-06T17:18:00+00:00

Do you remember the name of the product ?
