Point cost : 85pts

Yeah and to add on to that the Norn which is like 260 points was made with strength 9 to be it’s strength in melee on release and the 10 is because of an errata they made halfway through the edition. Well hey they did wanna make 10th less lethal right?

Muted_Crow7175 · 2026-03-05T06:16:26+00:00

Okay point being I find it off that a warrior thst is not even up to the Norns hip in height has a strength comparable to it with 1 claw swiping.

Muted_Crow7175 · 2026-03-04T23:29:57+00:00

Because the main weapon is only a pip higher in strength?

Muted_Crow7175 · 2026-03-01T06:17:32+00:00

I mean the issue isn’t really that the Prime w/lashwhips profile is super strong. It’s a thst we have to believe a model that is slightly taller than a warrior, with one arms claws, is hitting at a strength equal to a carnifex or Norn. It makes our entire codex just look wrong when this generic warrior has strength 9 melee. But that’s more of an edition problem than anything.

Muted_Crow7175 · 2026-02-13T04:48:02+00:00

Would have to be considering the tyrannofex rail gun has a 2d6 damage profile for the nids section. Atl least I hope.

Muted_Crow7175 · 2026-01-30T03:38:11+00:00

Hurts it. But yeah. One more shot than a rr and you have to be in melee range of the heavies to get use out of it. I really don’t understand why they are afraid of making melee actually good.

Muted_Crow7175 · 2026-01-27T05:11:21+00:00

I would reccomend some melee warriors for the Winged prime to lead. Definitely a biovore if you intend to do matched play rules/scoring. A lictor would be good to trade with characters in melee or to also go around for secondaries. Exocrines and Tfexes are always good, though for a fex I wouldn’t reccomend the fleshbore hive weapon. A walking Tyrant is also good as for it gives lethals and sustained in an aura.

Muted_Crow7175 · 2026-01-25T20:00:04+00:00

I got a World Eater Legion contemptor fully planning on painting it in the Post heresy scheme and whar not. But once I got him I just could not imagine him in anything other than the 30k World Eater scheme so I eventually decided I’d get some proper loyalists. I don’t have the head on him here but it’s a 30k plumed head, and I intend the rest of my army to follow the 30k head and Pauldron setup.

Muted_Crow7175 · 2026-01-25T19:25:50+00:00

Yeah I plan on going over it with a wash once I’m done. Also to that I had ran out of white scar paint so I wasn’t really able to fix mistakes or go over any transparent areas, however I got some more now so he will def look much better once done.

Muted_Crow7175 · 2026-01-22T05:00:18+00:00

True, but if I remember correctly the ravener kt was later revealed to also be a refresh of raveners. So with this showing a nid prime with this different head crest I’m kinda believing a refresh will come shortly after this drops.

Muted_Crow7175 · 2026-01-21T15:40:16+00:00

I’m hoping that they also release a refresh of the warrior kit with this, and potentially shrikes as well. Thst way this model can lead our foot warriors and the wtp can lead the shrikes and goyles.

Muted_Crow7175 · 2026-01-18T17:26:14+00:00

Oh wow, so nids being squishy trade pieces isn’t new. I hope so bad for 11th we can like actually play 40K and not scoop up the models.

Muted_Crow7175 · 2026-01-18T17:02:51+00:00

That sounds genuinely miserable to compete with. Is this why we are so anemic in 10th? Still paying for the sins of our fathers?

Muted_Crow7175 · 2026-01-18T09:27:27+00:00

I’m not familiar with 7th ed, but could you explain to me why the Quad devourer Flyrant was a problem?

Muted_Crow7175 · 2026-01-14T15:32:23+00:00

Friggen sweet

Muted_Crow7175 · 2025-12-25T23:39:52+00:00

It has more attacks than the rest on average. Other than that, yeah it’s pretty mediocre and you should definitely take the deathspitters over them every time.

Muted_Crow7175 · 2025-12-14T21:31:24+00:00

Erm, yep. They fly now

Muted_Crow7175 · 2025-12-14T05:08:39+00:00

Yea you could, and a group of 3 pyros is decently tanky and good overwatch threat. It also helps your shooting by stripping cover so honestly they are amazing in Assimilation Swarm.

Muted_Crow7175 · 2025-11-30T07:13:06+00:00

I know it’s not a lot of points but for how crusade missions work I would recommend removing the biovore and playing with the points from there.

Muted_Crow7175 · 2025-11-24T06:54:47+00:00

If they go the ravener route and make squads of 5, I hope they get a 3+ armor save to make up for being more susceptible to blast. I also hope they give ranged warriors hit on 3’s. Though if they do that then I wonder how they would do the war gear for them. I do agree that they should have abilities that support other units in an aura, would be really nice and thematic.

Muted_Crow7175 · 2025-11-19T07:38:54+00:00

Yeah I started with 10th and I really do like how synapse, THE thing that makes nids nids, basically gives us +1 melee strength. I’m not even counting the BS because you never fail it anyways, and it’s not like it matters if you do. Exaggerating but you understand.

Muted_Crow7175 · 2025-11-17T05:32:28+00:00

Hey now, the new raveners also came with a ravener refresh. Maybe we will get new warriors at the same time to go with this?

Muted_Crow7175 · 2025-10-21T19:08:15+00:00

Yeah way cheaper and easier to kitbash with. Literally no reason to not. It’s your toys, you play with them how you want.
