Hi. there is an upcoming event at my gaming store and you are allowed one hq choice and one retinue/command quard/bodyguard squad at 500 points. So my question is I play tyranids so can I run a warrior prime with a squad of gaunts counting as a retinue/command quard/bodyguard and if not what can I run. Any help would be appreciated.

If you are looking for a rule answer, you would have to check with the TO.

The only real Bodyguard-type unit that Nids have are the Tyrant Guard, which probably would work better with a Walking Hive Tyrant (or Flyrant in Glide mode so he can immediately switch to Swooping as soon as the Guards are all dead).

If you are looking for a Tactical answer, it would depend on a few things that we would need clarification for (as well as a move to a different sub-forum).
