I was just wondering what's the most efficient way to set them up?


I'll start by saying that I haven't run them so this is all just theorycrafting but I'm fond of the Rending/Deathspitter combo. Fairly cheap and a great multi-tasker.
Your shooting is strong enough to threaten light armor (including most sides) or put wounds on infantry squads and the Rending will help against the bigger tanks (anything short of a Land Raider you can penetrate) and cut through MCs or MEQs. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1955521.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1955521.page GMT Best Warrior Build? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1955527.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1955527.page GMT Re:Best Warrior Build? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1955533.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1955533.page GMT Best Warrior Build?
I rather like them.

But in general it rather depends on what you are planning on doing with them.

LW/BS, Deathspitter, with Toxin runs upwards of 500 points.

Or can you save points by just keeping devourers...

Toxin just makes sense when you have rending or power weapons...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1955751.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1955751.page GMT Re:Best Warrior Build?
That means Rending/Deathspitters is fine, as is Rending/Toxion/Devourers but not Rending/Deathspitters/Toxin.

Using this as a yardstick should help you keep the squad cheap and focused, even if your focus is making a hybrid unit because the reality is that even a naked Warrior is a pretty decent unit. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1955942.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1955942.page GMT Best Warrior Build? init 1.

They become one of the hardest units to uproot off an objective.

Biker Nobz can get by it by packing both a cover and Inv save and being much faster while still being around the same point cost.

One of the Warriors has a Venom Cannon. It's extra Wound Allocation, and it's another S6 blast...why not? Every bit helps here. Aside from that, Poison, Scything Talons, and Rending is about right. I'm not as much for the initiative bonus of Glands, as I'm generally confident/cocky enough in my ability to shoot a unit, and direct the majority of attacks onto a Tervigon (and pull hidden Powerfists onto the Termagants).

Normally, I run such units at their bare minimum; 3 models. They're pretty resilient against small arms, while having a *just* enough threat profile to draw missiles...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1957177.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1957177.page GMT Re:Best Warrior Build? CC then give them some wings, call them shrikes and put them in a FA slot. Foot warriors are too slow and so the deathspitter option is generally the best. Link a prime for the BS upgrade and give one a barbed strangler for extra shoot and wound allocation. No more than 4/5 in a brood though due to cost unless you're playing high points cost match.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1957402.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1957402.page GMT Best Warrior Build?
If they're normal Warriors then I don't think I'd be inclined to give them any extra close combat effectiveness at all - just surround them with another unit that can deal with anything that comes up close and personal, or march them across the field with said unit in front of them. Toxin sacs would probably be the only upgrade I might be inclined to give them. Otherwise venom cannon and devourers is fine for laying down some fire before hormagaunts/stealers get into the thick of it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1957744.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1957744.page GMT Best Warrior Build?

Reviewing the options again, I change my vote to this setup. Lots of S4 shooting if you are advancing or holding an objective plus a decent punch up close. Just have to leave heavy armor to your TMCs. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1958102.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1958102.page GMT Best Warrior Build?
Warriors are pretty good stock...but having LW/BS with toxin is what I am going to try.

That's a lot of pretty survivable (initiative higher than your 1) power weapons on top of decent shooting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1958149.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1958149.page GMT Re:Best Warrior Build?
I try to view this unit as I would another MC. For 200pts I'm effectively getting a 12 wound, synapse unit that is arguably more deadly in an assault than any actual MC we have, plus they can be easily screened. Yes they suffer instant death from things like Missles, Lascannons and Melta (the Prime helps with this a lot by the way) but if my opponent is firing at my Warrior Brood, then he isn't firing at my Trygons, Tervigon or Tyrant (and vice versa).

I've also ran a brood of 5 with Scything Talons and Deathspitters w/ 1 Barbed Strangler (mainly for wound allocation) in a Mycetic Spore to pretty good effect. This provides a relatively cheap, deep striking "oh crap!" distraction for your opponent and some backfield synapse for any outflankers/deep strikers. Also, 12 Str 5 shots plus a Pie Plate isn't anything to sneeze at. These guys can also hold their own pretty well in an assault too.

I love me some Tyranid Warriors. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1958157.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/318661/1958157.page GMT
