The new Trygon is a difficult beast to model as it's almost a Tyranid transport, and we've been told by on high that that's a no-no. ?It's certainly not Synapse, but where does it sit on the Independent/Brood axis?
How can we do the ravenous beast justice?
If independent, I envision it as a 0-2 Choice for a "Trygon Swarm" of 1-3 Trygons, whose individual cost would depend on the final stats; I definitely wouldn't want to see 10 individual Trygon formations scurrying around!
As to the infiltrator on a war engine, has anyone tried abusing this yet?
What kind of burrowing rule could be implemented without adding too much to our Special Rules load?
I look forward to discussion!

I voted for 25cm uncommon, and will test that this Sunday.

I voted for independant and 25cm. A borrowing rule would be cool, but we already have too mnay special rules, unless we try to make it a universal special rule.
All big creatures shouldn't worry about not having the hivemind around. They are normally "smart" enough to cope without it. even if cope is just smash anything that doesn't smell of the family.

No special rules again. keep it as simple as possible.
so 25, uncommon will do the trick I think.

I'm going with Independant... it helps differentiate the Trygon's role from the other 'small' Bio Titans (The Trygon is the 'scout' Titan, the Hierodules are the 'battle' Titans that stay with the swarms).
