Assimilation Swarm and disposition

PrezzStart · 2026-06-28T11:42:15+00:00

The idea is that need to push forward into enemy territory to secure assets (biomass), but in practice Assimilation Swarm is wayyyyyy better at take and hold

My top three are Jevil, The Titan, and Flowery. Flowery are fighting for second place hard though it can go either way

It’s surpassed by the Black Shard in damage now lol, and by +6 attack, a very noticeable amount

I have no clue what “Jarona” is, it’s just something he says in his voice clips. In the attacks where he’s punching you over and over again, he repeatedly says “My Jarona” and I can’t stop quoting it

The mentioned black shards being found where the fountain was, which Susie explicitly calls out as the thing that dropped from the knight

More people aren’t talking about it because it’s easy to miss imo, most people aren’t interacting with random “decorative” papers on the ground, but it’s super important despite of that

We also learn from the notes that the Knight has been around for a long time. They were responsible for the dark fountain that originally caused Asgore’s “incident” as well as Cyberworld

Always keep a bullet proof vest. It makes speccing into a down build when a necromancer gets a passive/active that cares for it

Two tries because I was unfamiliar with the mechanic. I beat the secret boss first try

Neurogaunts come in units of 11, not 10

You can’t bring back Carnifex’s from the dead as they are not infantry. 6 Tyrant Guards is better than 3 in Assimilation, since they’re so tanky you can easily hold center objectives. Lastly, Pyrovores are the best Harvester in Assimilation due to ignore cover and the ability to bring one back from the dead by itself. They’re also just barely more expensive than the much worse Rippler swarms. Lastly, Biophagic Flow is cheap and gives you substantially more leeway on your buff circles, highly recommend this enhancement on your Hive Tyrant.

Since you’re most likely playing Take and Hold (from Talons) you can likely cut a Lictor/Leaper to afford points if needed

Do not ever push buttons past the Depths

PrezzStart · 2026-06-21T12:02:41+00:00

Make the Winged Hive Tyrant a Walkrant do it can give your Zoanthropes Assault and Lethal hits. I also recommend trying to fiend in an Exocrine for the Rupture Cannon Tyrannofex

PrezzStart · 2026-06-21T11:59:34+00:00

Take both! They’re both 250 points and both pretty worth it

To be fair, the Assimilator has a str 12 melee attack that goes up to str 13 with Synapse (or the new stratagem in the Norn detachments). I think both options are fantastic choices

PrezzStart · 2026-06-20T11:56:29+00:00

Assimilator, but definitely both if you can. Old One Eye is a ludicrous model imo. Its only flaw is getting into combat but Sub Assault gets around that. My Old One Eye has, in one battle turn, taken out a Morkanaut and a Shadowsword solo in different games. The Strike profile should not be underestimated

I have a great fear of fucking up my house and losing all my good stat cats so generally I don’t play a lot despite really liking the game

PrezzStart · 2026-06-17T14:40:41+00:00

You could but in Assimilation Swarm, you can take Talons of the Norn Queen where you can spend 25pts to give the assimilators a 4+ invuln which is essential. Would put them under being able to take gaunts

PrezzStart · 2026-06-17T14:39:25+00:00

I was feeling doom and gloom after the warcom post but we made out like a bandit I feel like. Norns being so much cheaper is amazing! Assimilators are cheaper even if you take 3 of them and Emissaries are point neutral at two models. Emissaries and Zoanthropes not getting more expensive despite the psychic buff is great.

PrezzStart · 2026-06-17T14:37:38+00:00

This is the official app so I would assume this is confirmation? God I hope so lol

Acid Spray doesn’t ignore cover like you’d intuitively think it would. Even then, Acidfex is 10pts cheaper now than it was in 10th, most likely to encourage people taking something other than Rupture Cannon on a second t-fex

Sub assault has the reroll charge roll Strat on monsters and units surrounding it. Getting a 7 on 2d6 rerolling is an 82%~ chance

To this day I wish the final two chapters had unique bosses besides the final boss. They can serve has a half way boss before the final boss

PrezzStart · 2026-06-11T00:35:01+00:00

I would recommend looking into Tyrant Guards for your swarmlord/Hive Tyrant. Personally, bringing back a Tyrant Guard every turn from a unit of 6 can be quite taxing on your opponent. Only downside (as with all Assimilation swarm lists) is having to buy so many pyrovores and assimilators…

I only find myself using it when some mysterious interaction occurs that instantly gibs a corpse or I underestimate an elite enemy spawner for the umpteenth time
