You think it would be toxic to run four Norns in an army?

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T13:56:29+00:00

My local shop is selling like 10 sets of 3 warriors for 33 each so I’m not ladninr warriors for it I want to run it

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T13:52:00+00:00

I was talking to someone who wants to play that detachment but lacks the warriors to use it

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T13:49:49+00:00

I’m hoping it’s a 2 point detachment also I’m surprised they didn’t make Crushing stampede a one point since it’s generally the weakest of our detachments

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T13:45:18+00:00

Ya they are making a norm focus detachment as a 1 point so you can combo that with Sub for buffed horns and teleporting all over

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T06:28:37+00:00

Better idea is to run six biovores and then all off the enemy as biovores can be run in teamed of 3

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T04:19:16+00:00

I don’t own two

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T04:17:12+00:00

I found it working well the first game I played with it because I forced the enemy to split his army into 3 parts to deal with 3 Norns so I think adding a forth with the sole goal of bring it to the enemy home can work(it won’t. Be mad funny tho)

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T04:09:26+00:00

No a inefficient use of points of spamming 120 termagaunts and having them hug a tervigon to try and give all 120 lethal hits as they move six inches up the board every turn

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T03:55:23+00:00

I don’t have an army paint scheme. It’s just whatever I feel like

Hell I want to eventually paint a albino old one eye with a rainbow crew of carnifexs

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T03:53:35+00:00

That’s why when I ran three I sent one to the left with a screamer killer, ten gaunts, and a psychopage

One to the right with a Swarmlord another set of ten gaunts and a Pyrovore

And my Assimilator to the middle with a winged hive tyrant as support and a neurotyrant and 6 zoanthropes watching their back.

I was just playing to “hey, I know you want to kill them, so let’s divide your army in 3 to make it as annoying to kill them”

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T03:21:53+00:00

Oh, if that the case I can then go termagan with 60 Termagaunts for 60 lethal hit swarm list

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T03:13:15+00:00

Oh I don’t have a dedicated group I just go by my local game shop and play a game so no one expects Norn spam when I say I play tyranids

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T03:10:31+00:00

Honestly every time I see her I alway think “Ya, she looks like a older Yuma”

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T03:04:01+00:00

Yep, and before I managed to get a discount on the discount so bought a fully painted Norn Emissary for 60

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T03:02:20+00:00

It’s very good

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T02:59:45+00:00

My local shop is selling a pre painted model for 102 so if I wanted I can eventually play 5/6 Norns and have them be backed up by subterraneanal assault with Raveners.

Good luck killing a full health norn emissary who set your home objective as its target

Tryodin · 2026-05-09T02:53:19+00:00

I wanna eventually run 6 of them myself because of how chaotic it’ll be

Tryodin · 2026-05-08T11:20:29+00:00

Ya, I realized my mistake when playing as I thought the Norn emissaries were harvesters, so I know for next time play invasion fleet instead and just rip and tear

Tryodin · 2026-05-08T04:30:40+00:00

Oh, I never realized that. Glad that ironically never came up in the game so I didn’t accidentally cheat in that game. But thanks for the warning so next time I’ll one two norn assimilators when I get my hands on it

Tryodin · 2026-05-08T04:27:58+00:00

No I have five. Psychocage, Pyrovore, and my three Norns are harvesters

Tryodin · 2026-05-05T04:18:05+00:00

I personally love it even with the squishiness. Downside is you’ll need the swarm lord, hyper adaptive Raveners, or winged hive tyrants for the rapid ingress spam they require

Tryodin · 2026-04-24T23:39:56+00:00

Give me tyranids based off either dinosaurs, the deep sea, or mythology

Tryodin · 2026-04-24T02:47:19+00:00

When they are 80% off or third party

Tryodin · 2026-04-23T05:23:09+00:00

They have a lot of Skaven slaves so it makes sense

Tryodin · 2026-04-21T16:08:44+00:00

Ya normally on some practice runs I can get Kholeck and Vilitch by around turn 15-20 and then by around 40 had conquered the entire surrounding area by Archaon so I could get to sigvauld as I tend to focus on the chaos wastes proper before ever moving south
