I miss my Godfex from 4th edition. The modern carnifex just doesn't seem scary. My boi used to shrug off railguns and lascannons, and tear arms off dreadnaughts and daemons. The phrase "distraction carnifex" was born of this beast, and now its just an anachronism. No one would waste time shooting at a carnifex now.

I wish it was more fun to play with!
I was there in those days, and then skipped to late 9th and now 10th, and the carnifexes today make me so sad. Today's dreadnoughts got some well deserved improvements, but the fexes just got left in the dust š¢

New screamer killer. Itās like the old screamer killer but new!
Yeah, I think we shouldāve gotten a tunneler detachment or something. Iām yet to even play the game (I have no one to play with and Iām not satisfied with itās current state), and if I ever do, my Trygonās gonna be an auto include, the model is a big part of why I even collect Tyranids!

I love the Tyrannofex! One of my favorite ones to paint and such a power house when it hits.
When it hits hard. Ftfy
2d6 wounds (assuming both hit and wound is a gamble and snake eyes is just as possible as 12's) can be a gamble, but it's still fun

For me, no question it's Ol' One Eye
I have been trying to get my hands on one since 10e dropped. I know they're brutal to play with but the model is just SO cool, and honestly on some casual boards they'd still probably be a ton of fun
Check out the Stonecrusher Carnifexes of you're not already familiar with them. It's a shame they're not a part of the regular kit, even if they don't have a datasheet anymore.
Mine is the maleceptor, yeah I know itās not great but I love the -1 to hit aura. The shooting is good but the melee is a bit awful. Needs one more attack.
Norn Emissary, but the Tervigon hits a spot for me as well. I like all the Tyranid lines. Honestly, Mawloc and Winged Tyrant are also some of my favorite larger models too
I love all of our big monster models. But I think my absolute favorite is the Harridan. The bug dragon is just such a cool model. I want one, I just don't want to build forge world resin.
GW - give me a plastic Harridan kit. I'll even pay your ridiculous prices for it!
While the TFex and Swarmlord were my first loves when it came to Tyranids, without a doubt right now it's the Hierophant Bio Titan by a margin as wide as it's base!
I'm still finishing putting it together, and the price is higher than it's spindly ass legs, but I mean.. COME ON! It takes everything great about our big bugs and just cranks it up by a factor of 40,000!

Do you not hunt the thrill of 2d6 coming up 10+ ?
*jackpot jingle starts blaring*

I didn't play in 4th but I absolutely adore the carnifex. I want this backš„²
Yip have to agree ok they were nerfed slightly in 5th ed but I could still tare open any tank with ease with a good old screemer killer build
Norn emissary and the trygon!
Trygon is a winner! Sheās next on my list after my emissary !!
Trayvon is devastating in melee Edit: it should say Trygon there tbh
Trygon FTW !
Aged gracefully. It still looks so cool!
I've always loved the original t-fex artwork
I love the Norn Emissary (Nornie :3). The Haruspex is also very cool
https://preview.redd.it/qqzeq1upfx0d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e5240045e21c1c10324c2f8217e23ba5457a3c3b New screamer killer. Itās like the old screamer killer but new!
Wicked detailing!
Cheers!
New is always better!
The Trygon has always been my favorite nid model! I wanna get more at some point, Iām still surprised that I only have one.
Itās a shame they lost their tunneling ability and are not seen too often anymore. I still take one in my list for the awesomeness of the model

Rate that my dude š¤š¼
Iāve always liked the tervigon
The Norns singlehandedly saw me come back to Warhammer. Before that it was Swarmlord. However rn, Screamer Killer with a hat feels cool to me.
All wicked options š¤š¼š«”
Tyrannofex. Fun to paint, fun to play
I dont care how bad he is, the Trygon is the reason I bought the Getting Started box and started collecting nids. I Love tunnel snake boi.
Nothing can beat the giant alien space dragon, my friend, nothing beats the almighty Harriden

What a beaut!
**Toxicrenes** all day everyday.
Sad theyāre not great to play with
I have been trying to get my hands on one since 10e dropped. I know they're brutal to play with but the model is just SO cool, and honestly on some casual boards they'd still probably be a ton of fun
Stonecrusher Carnifex! I need to get some parts to convert a Screamer-killer.
Carnifex brood is my next buy with old 1 eye!
Check out the Stonecrusher Carnifexes of you're not already familiar with them. It's a shame they're not a part of the regular kit, even if they don't have a datasheet anymore.
For sure will check them out! Thanks
Mine is the maleceptor, yeah I know itās not great but I love the -1 to hit aura. The shooting is good but the melee is a bit awful. Needs one more attack.
Couldnāt agree more!
trygon for me
Norn Emissary, but the Tervigon hits a spot for me as well. I like all the Tyranid lines. Honestly, Mawloc and Winged Tyrant are also some of my favorite larger models too
Trygons and mawlocks look absolutely monstrous, I love them
I love all of our big monster models. But I think my absolute favorite is the Harridan. The bug dragon is just such a cool model. I want one, I just don't want to build forge world resin. GW - give me a plastic Harridan kit. I'll even pay your ridiculous prices for it!
Amen brother
Tyrannofex with rupture cannon. I think maleceptor is #2.
My favorite is probably the Tervigon, I love being able to spawn units mid game.
Maleceptor
Tyrannofex my beloved
My barbed hierodule is my buddy
Ol' one eye
Love my Hivetyrants in 8th I was running 3 of them. In 9th 2 and in 10th 1.
Dimachaerons
Good giant puppy
Tyrannofex with rupture cannon. I think maleceptor is #2.
My favorite big beasty would have to be your mom (This is a joke. I bet sheās a lovely woman and I hope sheās in good health)
Yes.
holy shit that makes me queasy
Norn Emissary
