Mine's the Exocrine. There's nothing sweeter than dropping a high strength AP2 large blast pie plate on your opponent and at BS4 if you remained still. The alternate firing mode of 6 S7 AP2 shots is also perfect for countering enemy MCs.

I still like the carnifex. Kinda sucks that it's being overshadowed by all the other big MC kits now. Doesn't really feel like it has a purpose anymore.

The Flyrant is the best Nids MC in town.

Really? I still find the dakkafex awesome.

If I ever get a bid nid drop pod, I'd go carnifex or devilgaunt on it.

Carnifex is the model that got me to pick nids, it will always be my favourite.

That being said, I really like the Mawloc. Super scary giant model, it looks awesome.

My fav is the carni it so iconic and versitile, but for effectivness the exocrines got it beat can fight (just at a lower s) shoots better and looks more of a target. Which is a shame as the humble carni should be the main target.

Tervigon not only because its huge, looks awesome and spawns termagants but the carnifex needs a new kit to be released, if only it was possible for a few better poses and some new crushing claws, the carnifex would win my vote

Always liked the Trygon even if its hard to fit him in these days.

Trygons are cool, so I'll pick that. They're like the creatures from tremors

The 3rd Edition Hive Tyrant is a monster I bring to every Tyranid game I play because I like the model so much, but the new Tyrants look like dookie to me. The Carnifex is the only one that I consistently like the look of, as long as it doesn't have those rinky-dink arms for the Devourers. Can't stand those arms... But Crab Claws, Enhanced Senses head, Tusked, Talons, guns, Bioplasma, modern or 3rd Edition, Stone Crusher, they all look good. Gets my vote.

DEAD ONES.

No Tyrannofex!?

My favs is Tyrannofex...and it is not on the list!

I like the flying Hive Tyrant model and the Dimachaeron looks built to murder(and it is).

I like almost all of them aesthetically I mean. The only one I really don't like the look of is the maleceptor. I am worried by the laziness and CADCAMness of the toxicrene sculpt but it just about works. I'd hate it if future nid MCs were made on that template rather than the much more realistic and brilliant sculpts on the trygons, carnifexes, etc. My all time favourite sculpt is the haruspex because it is just so vile and nasty looking which is great for nids.

It was the incredible nid sculpts that drew me back into 40K and I have every MC in my collection now except the maleceptor but I'll get one for completeness I guess.
