Seems to me that the 3rd ed tyrant would be a perfect model for the Prime. It looks like an upsized warrior, is mounted on a 40mm, and can use much of the same arms as the Warriors. However I havent seen anyone go this route. Why?

I do!

And to clarify - I think its a perfect substitute - ie. larger than a normal warrior yet slightly smaller than the new Tyrant.

I didn't go that way because I dislike 3rd edition Hive Tyrant and Carnifex. I took the 2nd edition Hive Tyrant as a base instead.

I was digging out some old 3rd ed Nid models I had laying around and stumbled upon it, which is why it hit me. Personally the 3rd ed Nids had a sort of charm to them that the newer ones just dont (dont get me wrong, I love the new models. But there's something about 3rd ed models that I just like).

I think it's a cool model for a prime. Go for it!
