For Bio Titans, converted 40K Warriors would be a similar size to the metal EPIC bio titans.
As for the "tanks" most of the old ones slithered, so Gaunt bodies + green stuff could be used. Size will be about right, though good luck on converting them!

| At the moment I'm using 4-6 nodes, some are garisoned with biovores and Dactos, and the rest come down on an objective and spawn as soon I get the initiative. I usually stick more than one down per objective (more than 5cm apart). It's then the enemies choice - take out lone synapse nodes while ther... |

| Hi Lord Inquisitor, nice post... wrt Gargoyles. Striking Scorpions have mandiblasters which are as near as damit identicle to Boi-plasma, they don't have first strike, just 1+ attack. Personally I like the simplicity of 5+ over x2 6+. wrt to raveners save, have a quick read of this thread and you'll... |

| I've nothing against the idea of the Tyranids wanting to defend the rear of thier army. There are many reasons spread throughout this thread. The problem for me is that protecting Blitzkrieg (denying it from the enemy), and gaining "Take and hold", and "Defend the Flag" and to some extend "Hold the ... |

| Don't know where I stand on this one. I can see lots of reasons for Tyranids defending their rear, many mentioned here. It's not like the "hive mind" is stupid, they are the first known race to cross the distance between galaxies. There must be some brains there, including the knowledge of e=mc^2 an... |

Sorry Hena, taking the brood as formation of 3 makes them too similar to SNG. I like what they do at the moment.
ragnarok, I like limiting them to the number of SNG, though I'm not sure they might still need a slight points hike. 3to1 or 2to1?

I did say possibly!
And ragnarok, Great minds think alike, however two fools never differ! But I prefer the first one too.
Scott
PS Another idea, Raveners take up 1 transport, TW,TG,HG take up 2 and then up the Transport capacity? (possibly) |

| I'd thought of something similar. Two other things 1/ a unit of TW must be included. So you can have 3 Tygrons per TW formation popping up together as one formation. transporting (8-1)x3 units. 2/ Possibly: Raveners should not count towards the transport total, i.e. they tunnel along side within syn... |

Okay
3SNL are harder to kill with shooting.
3SNL require three formations to enagage and win combat resolution with a model within 15cm compared with doing 3unsaved wounds on 4+ Reinforced.
I'd say that's harder, Neil obviously disagrees, it's close.
Is fearless worth the extra?

| Hi, At the moment the SNL costs 30 points, the SNG costs 100. 3SNL for the price of 1SNG! The three SNL: are cheeper (10 points) are harder to kill (BM will not get two hits)(titan killer extra wounds wasted) have more activations (2) have more sysnapse coverage can teleport I have built and painted... |
