Does anyone like/use Mawlocs over tygons?

I doubt it. The Terror from the Deep is a gimmick more than anything else - and an unreliable one at that.

I am going with no - yes TftD is a decent ability when you can use it - but even paying just base point for the Tyrgon - you are getting better ability (tunnel), better WS/BS and in general a better unit. With the addition of upgrading to a Prime, drop the points and now you have a synapse - of which there is no option for Mawloc so you basically will have a beast that MAY pop in and out....which will not net you back the point return that a Trygon can.

I'd maybe take "as well as" in certain circumstances, but never instead of, if I'm looking to use all 3 HS slots.

It's not so great now that Grey Knights are running around the table casting Warp Quake.

I prefer Mawlocs, so take that haters! I love my burrowing Mawloc, and I even have a great way of saying his name that strikes fear in the heart of my gaming circle.
