|  tyranid hierophant bio titan hi there, have any of you seen the tyrnaid bio titan on http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog...ITANS_31.html? Have you seen the size of that thing!!! (its the 3rd one down) and the price it looks soo awsome, who thinks it worth the 185.00 pounds? and also is it able to move about on the board? without taking up too much space. What do you think? |

| Indeed I have seen it and I've seen the rules in Imperial Armour 4: The Anphelion Project...they make you want to weep. A brood is 1-3 models and they have 3 Mass Points!

Blog Entries: 4 | generally speaking, if you pin it then no. though resin is a lot less durable compared to plastic im pretty sure EDIT: generally speaking keep in mind that the legs are about 4/5th to 1 centimetre thick, so it's pretty good

Blog Entries: 4 | I dont have one (yet).I have seen one in use on a battle field and yes it does struggle from the fact that it cant really go anywhere.As for the Mass Points they can actualy be taken down quite easily by concentrated firepower (same with my barbed Hierodule  ) |

 | Im amazed that some people have already bought these monsters. For the same price you could actually buy 3 tyranid battleforce sets, and still have enough money for a hive tyrant. Thats basically a substancial tyranid army, for the same price as one model. No matter how good it is, the eqivelant army would be far more powerfull as a whole.

Blog Entries: 4 | Very very true-mine only ever comes out for scare factor-and then its normaly dead in a turn or two because no-one wants that thing alive and stomping round the tabletop-just think how many Gaunts I could buy for that money (miniatures and points)! |

Blog Entries: 4 | Its big-really big (bit to big in my opinion for a 40K game) Could be used as an objective marker?Ive heard of Biotitans being used in this way-The bio titan is still dormant and has to be destroyed! |

Blog Entries: 4 | Its the fear factor more than anything-it just scares the pants off people when it turns up on the board. Player 1 "What the Hell is that?" Player 2 "Oh thats just my Bio Titan" Player 1 "Were Doomed" |

| My Avatar and Wraithlord are going to be the fear factor in my army. My Avatar is the FW one (or will be when I order it about next week). But perhaps I need a titan.....
