Without Iron arm Flyrants are not the be all and end all they used to be. 6th is about synergy and losing your warlords by flying forward into death (no matter how much killing you do) is a big risk. In both the frontline gaming and the miniwargame reps the same always happens. <br /><br />PS. PM incomming with some details of models I've dug out.

It would leave you with a single tervigon if that dies all the termagants would take damage and then probably run off the table.

However again, the flying tyrant is, and probably always will be, better. Its not that primes are unviable its just the points are much better spent elsewhere. <br /><br />If you drop a fex and a prime you could get a 2nd flyrant, id also say get rid of the other fex for points to boost your existing squads (biovores and 2nd gant squad namely) Leighnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278252476801553420.post-41007612019067417362014-02-14T19:11:39.597+00:002014-02-14T19:11:39.597+00:00I'm glad you agree with the primes, i was star...I'm glad you agree with the primes, i was starting to think i was the only one and was mad.

Still run them as basic fexes with just bioplasma and now will include adrenal glands. Anything with more upgrades I'll use the new models for.<br /><br />I have so much kicking round I'm bound to have some spare including a tonne of metal warriors missing their lower claws as I used them on new warriors for rending claws. Will have a dig around this WE and see what I can find. Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08753322658562952859noreply@blogger.com
