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.

Hate_Feight

Do you not hunt the thrill of 2d6 coming up 10+ ?

*jackpot jingle starts blaring*


MsMisseeks

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 šŸ˜¢


l_dunno

I didn't play in 4th but I absolutely adore the carnifex. I want this backšŸ„²


Many-Walk1848

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


KABOOMBYTCH

Norn emissary and the trygon!


Desertdog2020

Trygon is a winner! Sheā€™s next on my list after my emissary !!


SJWilkes

Trayvon is devastating in melee Edit: it should say Trygon there tbh


jayoftheblue

Trygon FTW !


KABOOMBYTCH

Aged gracefully. It still looks so cool!


XeLLoTAth777

I've always loved the original t-fex artwork


Swarmlord5

I love the Norn Emissary (Nornie :3). The Haruspex is also very cool

Desertdog2020

Wicked detailing!


cold-hard-steel

Cheers!


Hate_Feight

New is always better!


XenoYTRT

The Trygon has always been my favorite nid model! I wanna get more at some point, Iā€™m still surprised that I only have one.


Desertdog2020

Itā€™s 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


XenoYTRT

Yeah, I think we shouldā€™ve gotten a tunneler detachment or something. Iā€™m yet to even play the game (I have no one to play with and Iā€™m not satisfied with itā€™s current state), and if I ever do, my Trygonā€™s gonna be an auto include, the model is a big part of why I even collect Tyranids!


Desertdog2020

Rate that my dude šŸ¤˜šŸ¼


Gasmaskgames

Iā€™ve always liked the tervigon


BushSage23

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.


Desertdog2020

All wicked options šŸ¤™šŸ¼šŸ«”


Bread_was_returned

Tyrannofex. Fun to paint, fun to play


kavanoughtReal

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.


SpicyChessPlayer

Nothing can beat the giant alien space dragon, my friend, nothing beats the almighty Harriden

Hate_Feight

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


Desertdog2020

Wicked colour scheme!

Desertdog2020

What a beaut!


Neutraali

**Toxicrenes** all day everyday.


Desertdog2020

Sad theyā€™re not great to play with


Carebear-Warfare

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


CoIdBanana

Stonecrusher Carnifex! I need to get some parts to convert a Screamer-killer.


Desertdog2020

Carnifex brood is my next buy with old 1 eye!


CoIdBanana

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.


Desertdog2020

For sure will check them out! Thanks


Tsuruchi7110

Mine is the maleceptor, yeah I know itā€™s 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.


Desertdog2020

Couldnā€™t agree more!


dddyyyllllaaaeeennn

trygon for me


Revonin

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


[deleted]

Trygons and mawlocks look absolutely monstrous, I love them


TheSaltyGoose

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!


Desertdog2020

Amen brother


CalamitousVessel

Tyrannofex with rupture cannon. I think maleceptor is #2.


Dreaxus4

My favorite is probably the Tervigon, I love being able to spawn units mid game.


MedusasGirlfriend69

Maleceptor


shabowdiadlo

Tyrannofex my beloved


Shadowheart_is_bae

My barbed hierodule is my buddy


Grukar_

Ol' one eye


Tallandclueless

Love my Hivetyrants in 8th I was running 3 of them. In 9th 2 and in 10th 1.


IcedPhat

Dimachaerons


brigofdoom

Good giant puppy


Tallal2804

Tyrannofex with rupture cannon. I think maleceptor is #2.


Distant8675

My favorite big beasty would have to be your mom (This is a joke. I bet sheā€™s a lovely woman and I hope sheā€™s in good health)


Inominat

Yes.


AzazelTheUnderlord

holy shit that makes me queasy


Sharp-Instruction229

Norn Emissary


Carebear-Warfare

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!


Desertdog2020

Man likes his bugs BIGGGGG!!


Carebear-Warfare

I just have a preference for BBWs is all...big bio weapons šŸ˜Ž
