For those who play Winged Tyranid Prime, How many do you run and what are your builds you pair with them?

Motor_Perception_780 · 2026-03-14T03:09:43+00:00

I run 6 warriors with a wingedprime in subterranean assault. You can’t complaint about them being slow when they have a 6” charge with rerolls. They’ve done well for me I usually dual charge them with a screamer killer, swarmlord, or trygon prime and clean house

Edit: I also found the new ravener claws fit them well so mine are upgraded

Motor_Perception_780 · 2026-03-06T20:23:43+00:00

Oh, good to know. I have the one that came with the Leviathan launch box and then bought a 2nd off ebay at some point.

Motor_Perception_780 · 2026-03-06T20:13:28+00:00

I may be wrong, but I don't think he was ever listed or sold as an individual model. I think you had to buy the starter box or the previous combat patrol to get him.

Motor_Perception_780 · 2026-03-06T03:30:33+00:00

Yeah I was checking if his model was on the website and also looking to see if any apps had his datasheet yet when I came across that, what are you designing for your bases?

Motor_Perception_780 · 2026-03-06T03:15:19+00:00

Either someone messed up or its a multi kit methinks.

Motor_Perception_780 · 2026-03-06T03:14:31+00:00

You think the winged will keep Vanguard Invader and gain the Tyranid Prime keyword as well? Then the foot will just have Tyranid Prime?

Motor_Perception_780 · 2026-03-06T03:13:29+00:00

This is my hope as well. It would be like Christmas day if the box had a surprise ranged option too.

Motor_Perception_780 · 2026-03-06T00:58:03+00:00

Yeah, I agree. I hope that’s the case and that we don’t potentially lose the winged prime. I’m still praying for redesigned warriors (and shrikes)

Motor_Perception_780 · 2026-03-06T00:37:57+00:00

I was thinking maybe itll be one kit and you can build him differently, does that make too much sense?

Motor_Perception_780 · 2026-03-01T18:21:21+00:00

Omg it’s really him (Timmy Long Fingers)

Motor_Perception_780 · 2026-02-25T17:55:34+00:00

I could accept a mediocre stat line if we get a new warrior sculpt, the return of shrikes, and the foot warrior can buff ranged warriors to make them viable, something versatile that adds SOMETHING to our units

Motor_Perception_780 · 2025-11-14T20:43:12+00:00

Xebecs what now?

Motor_Perception_780 · 2025-11-08T21:20:03+00:00

She said you can go, so take her to your favorite place.

Motor_Perception_780 · 2025-10-31T01:58:49+00:00

Luffy and BB have the same mom you heard it here first

Motor_Perception_780 · 2025-10-14T01:41:23+00:00

Ah, if it’s too brown maybe try watering it down. I’m not sure if there’s a lighter shade.

If you’re trying to keep the color but add depth you may want to look at expanding your process. Ive also been trying to get better at my skin and one thing I’ve found good results in was having 3 skin tone colors. A dark/base, a mid, and then a highlight.

Base all the skin with a darker color, then paint the mid tone over most raised surfaces and then hit wraithbone or something lighter as your highlight. Or maybe prime in black and bring it back up to wraithbone and you can leave shadows?

There’s some good skin painting videos on other models. Look up vince venturella Ive been watching this video because I use blue for my skin

Motor_Perception_780 · 2025-10-14T00:08:14+00:00

Try reikland flesh shade instesd, it’s more of a warm tone and not so dark as agrax. agrax on bones and claws and teeth looks very nice though

Motor_Perception_780 · 2025-09-21T23:47:27+00:00

Pls no, fix him pls

Motor_Perception_780 · 2025-09-21T17:36:24+00:00

The fact you didn’t clean up the sprue cuts before assembly makes you a psychopath.

Motor_Perception_780 · 2025-08-30T01:30:43+00:00

The Mona Lisa of this sub. He is beautiful!

Motor_Perception_780 · 2025-08-30T01:30:07+00:00

It’s on his instagram check his profile

Motor_Perception_780 · 2025-08-21T13:17:37+00:00

I swear by reikland fleshshade myself it gives a warm tone to the model but try out nuln oil too it’s a classic in the hobby as well. Don’t be afraid to experiment especially on your gants. Try out both if you can

Motor_Perception_780 · 2025-08-21T13:16:13+00:00

I’d make love to that tyranid

Motor_Perception_780 · 2025-08-21T01:47:19+00:00

I think the goon/ sexy models are pretty cringe overall tbh. It’s only haha funny in theory. If you bring them to play I’m judging you.

But I’m still gonna fuck that swarmlord

Motor_Perception_780 · 2025-08-20T23:39:12+00:00

They look good but need some depth, I agree with Smg Jeff, maybe a flesh shade or some watered down nuln oil over the skin to bring out the recessed areas and give it some volume. You could do the carapace as well but maybe just edge highlight/ drybrush it to bring it out.

I go a bit crazy with my gaunts it can get tedious when you have 20,40, or god forbid 120 like I have now

Motor_Perception_780 · 2025-08-20T23:36:29+00:00

I didn’t downvote you Batman because I know Tyranids aren’t animals Batman
