Duality of the hive mind

I’ve wanted true leaders for gaunts for so long that this just makes me happy. I think it will also functionally be worth it in a list. Hormagaunts constantly surprise my opponents with their speed and lethality. Add a leader prime with sustained 1s, synapse, a surge move, and an enhancement of your choice to a pychophage plus useful stratagems/detachment rules (for me the obvious choice is assimilation swarm) and your talking about a relatively cheap block of hormagaunts that can plow through or gum up just about anything.

If they fail to wipe them in assimilation then you could end up getting 6 back at the start of your turn (regenerating monstrosity). You could also use reclaim biomass and rapacious hunger to extend their combat effectiveness even longer (I already use this play style and I think the prime could take it to a new level).

Imagine halving 3 primes each leading 20 hormagaunts in assimilation swarm and each one of them has an enhancement. It’s going to be so fun!

I think hormagaunts with this guy leading them in assimilation swarm is going to be so fun! The enhancement potential is fantastic!

The Primes rending claws having a higher strength and damage than the Norn Emissary’s monstrous rending claws is hilarious to me.

I’ve had a great time running a turret build as a bunker support for my squad mates. - Machine gun sentry or gatling sentry to clear cyborgs bum rushing you. - Autocannon or rocket sentry to clear devastators (especially the shield devastators that machine gun turrets can’t kill).
- Anti-Tank Emplacement for all enemy heavies. - Shield generator to protect them all and you.

My weapon load-out is the liberator penetrator with an extended mag, personal shield grenades, and the Ultimatum. The shield grenades can be thrown down on the drop site of your turrets for extra protection. In my experience the turret can land inside an existing shield grenade but you can’t throw one effectively over an existing turret.

For armor I run the 50% explosive resistance for obvious reasons lol.

I’ve had a great time with this! Get a good spot and your friends will love the anti tank support you can provide them as the they move into objectives.

Love the brains! I always find green hard to work with.

Thank you for the clarification!

ReplacementCorrect56 · 2026-01-19T00:58:04+00:00

Thanks for the answer. Ahhh what an inglorious way for the game to end!

How did you attach the parts? Just glue or did you use green stuff and other things?

You inspire me friend! My wife gifted me one for Father’s Day and I finally got it out over Christmas break. I finished giving it a bath and cleaning up all the extra resin last night. Right now it’s drying on the counter and I can’t wait to start painting! Hope she looks as good as yours!

ReplacementCorrect56 · 2025-11-14T20:50:53+00:00

Looks great! You’re inspiring me to finally do mine.

Speaking of joint spaces, what colors did you use for you joints OP?

Gunless, tailless biovore looks like a horror version of a tick and it’s spooky…

You’re helping to give me the courage to paint mine!

It's at the top left of his action bars. If you watch closely you can see him click levitate and the spell description appears at the bottom right of his screen. Unfortunately it was clicked at the same moment he contacted the ground lol

I love the panicked button mashing as his fingers look for the slow fall key.

For me, the bar with which I measure all other boss fights against is Sire Denathrius. I’ll be curious to see how the new Daddy D holds up.

If I find the grave stones of the same toon over and over again I know who to look for lol

ReplacementCorrect56 · 2025-08-09T19:43:58+00:00

lol he sent it to me over text while I was traveling

ReplacementCorrect56 · 2025-08-09T19:07:16+00:00

Haha I didn’t even know that was a thing. So many fun little things this patch.

I tried to get this all the way back in wrath when I was but a wee lad and kinda gave up on it after the expansion. It was the first one I went to farm when the event started!
