Played 3 last week in vanguard vs sisters. They performed well, though you have to conceed you sometimes just have to leave one in reserve for lack of space. One of the better distraction carnifexes!
I think 9 times out of 10 your opponent is going to rapid ingress and then invisible hunters them out. Its a heavy CP burden unless you can get them close to a hive tyrant in which case it can get a lot cheaper.
For Mawlocs I think it's Swarmlord > Hive Tyrant. I'd take a guaranteed hiding CP generator over a situational aura buffer any day, for the CP-hungry Mawloc shenanigans.
In many cases i fail to see how it would be beneficial to use seeded brood on 2 mawlocs. I mean those 2 mawlocs are surely, 100% going to die afterwards? The entire enemy army will be stareing down at them
I wish they hadn't made the range for the terror of the deep weird. it seems more thematic to allow it to burrow in next to troops and cause more damage the closer the impact.
Im pretty sure players will adapt. They can really shaft 1hp msu and pre-damage vehicles. But they have to be close, and people will get better at catching them. 😅 They also will get a point increase next mfm. So enjoy while it lasts.😊
I always assume i am fighting against infiltrated infiltrators accompanied by phobos librarian and they can retreat from any assaults. The unit disables all deepstrike tricks and is almost impossible to kill.
I would love to Paint and play one, but the model is so freaking ugly, i just can´t. Question about the new Synapse rule. When i attache a Neuroloid onto a Screamer killer and he´s within 6 inch of an enemy, does he suffer the additional -1 from Synapse during shadows in the Warp? Because as i read it, the Screamer Killer has Synapse only to himself, not friendly units around him. So i don´t see him emitting it during Shadows of the Warp, but i m not sure.
I agree the head is ugly. I modified mine so it doesn't have all the spines and it looks much better imo. I don't think the GW paint job does the model any favours either. You are right about the neuroloid. The screamer counts as being in synapse range, but doesn't spread it to other models.

Considering Tyranids don't get GRENADES or TANK SHOCK, like most other armies, let's hope this doesn't get nerfed.
I know they're gonna get nerfed to oblivion before i can find one at a reasonable price 😭
They are in a pretty good place. The CP cost of Rapid Ingress + Invisible Hunter is probably too high to spam this strategy
Don’t buy one. First: they are trash. 145 pts for D3 mortals? Second: just print one.
This is why I get just about any unit I can get for cheap.
One day they might become meta.

I like that you talk fast and very clear. I listen on you on x2 and it is very easy to understand and follow.

Thats why i bring a swarmlord
Off topic, but I feel like the trigon is better in crusher stampede. If it has the 3" DS that ai remember, that can swing an objective outright.
I always loved mawlocs. Always ran 1 or 2 as distraction carnifexes...to buy time for my carnivores to get into melee lol
How did you add the second aura around your mawloc? @4:30. You have a 12" and a 9". I can only make 1 aura at a time
For Mawlocs I think it's Swarmlord > Hive Tyrant. I'd take a guaranteed hiding CP generator over a situational aura buffer any day, for the CP-hungry Mawloc shenanigans.
absolutely. swarmy + 3 tyrant guard feels like an auto include.
Would be great if the true killer was all the Carnifexes....without being nerf XD

Time for me to break out the three Mawlocs I got to survive 7th Edition!
The way you beat em is SOOO simple..

...just wait a month or two and GW will just nerf em.

I'd legit prefer it was a 3" deepstrike with a 6" aura than what it is now, yeah. 12" aura is absolutely stupid
Its cos peoplr would just take 3 and abuse it
Ooooh
3" deepstrike
3" 3 mortals
6" d3 mortals
9" 1 mortal?

What game is that you're showing while talking?
Tabletop simulator (tts)
A distracting game.
we have like 1.5 months to enjoy these lads before they are going to be overkill nerfed to oblivion...

Mawloc (and Trygon) has no Deadly Demise...
@tacticaltortoise
Trigons look cooler tho
Nidzilla
Mawlocs don't explode.
You stopped listening mid sentence...
Dude can you slow down your reading this

The Screamer-Killer doesn't get the SYNAPSE keyword from Neurotyrants so it has no effect on enemy SitW tests.
