How many of you own/want a Bio-titan?

[nikh]

I'm genuinely curious how many people on this forum own bio-titans. Personally, I've wanted a Hierophant since I started this army, but can't really bring myself to drop the money considering my financial situation. A year and a half ago I got a Harridan dirt cheap, but since haven't been able to gather the scratch for the big nasty. So, how many of YOU own titans? Satisfied with them? Any cool stories? The hive wants to know!

I've got a 'Dule, but neither the 'Phant or the Harridan really appeal to me. If they come out with something else that catches my eye, and I've got the cash, it'll probably happen, tho.

do you consider a dima is a biotitan ?
so i want a hiero and a harridan bro
do you want to pay me one ?

Pre-tervigon the Bio-titan looked nothing like our other models, and I feel the harridan still does not mesh well with our forces. Because pre-tervigon I was really into apocalypse rather than get something that didn't fit, I sprung and got an alien queen which is effectively the same model as our old Tyrant, our current warriors, zoanthrope, ravenhers and everything else. So it meshes great. I'm not the only one who uses them either:





and jy2 is a well known player that uses one




If only I could find a flying model that I can use instead of the harridan since the harridan looks nothing like the rest of our tyranids... shoudl be a bigger Harpy Crone not some big worm.

I have access to a Barbed but having seen what a pain in the arse a Hierophant is on the table (and to transport) with a massive square base, I'd just get myself a Hierodule or two instead. The 'Phant is a nice model though but is a lot of work to modify to stand up and to use.

[gigasnail]

great models, but we don't typically use SH in our local group. i'll eventually buy some of these, but not until i work through some of this crazy backlog of stuff i've built up.

I have 2 Hierophants, 1 Harridan, 1 Barbie & 1 Scythed... plus an "Alien Vs. Predator" model for proxy as a Custom Dominatrix.

My Harridan is the best one of the bunch in my humble opinion. I run him in a Flying Circus with Skyblight! A lot of people like the Barbie since he can team up with a Malanthrope and be almost unkillable in Terrain.

I have a recast hierophant and barbed hierodule.

Love em. The quality is superb(or at least the dings I've noticed have been fixable). Note, I don't think it's "correct" to go third party for that, I think it's actively choosing to do the wrong thing.

But, I manage to justify doing it for models my LGS doesn't/won't stock. The price difference is like 1/3rd the cost of actual FW.

I own one of each of our GC's and I love um all.

As far as a cool story, first game I used it, It killed two stompas and a warhound, it ended the game with a single wound remaining but lived to fight another day.

[PlanB]

Never really liked the way the tyranid Titan looked. Just plain weird.

[aleeuwenburgh]

I got 1 hierophant, 2 barbed 'duels, and 1 scythed 'duel

Sup Apoc buddies!

2 Hierophants
1 Barbed Hierodule
1 Scythed Hierodule
1 Harridan

I've only played the Harridan once so far, and it was so strong I'll only use it again after strongly warning my opponent. In a 2000pt 'lord of war' duel, it killed a pair of SM flyers and finished off a Warhound to win me the game in 3 turns.

After 7E landed with the D-weapon changes, I had a big game last year to field all the rest at once... Hierophants can be really nasty if you use some of the right Apoc strategies to get them across the board alive. Blind Barrage, Shield Generator and Spore Chimneys are an incredibly useful combo.

[N.I.B.]

I'm not sure I like the Hierophant look, but GW took the design and ran with it for the Tervigon/Tfex kit, so I think I'm getting used to it. But from what I gather it's a logistical nightmare, prone to collapse on long spindly legs, and it has bad rules (footslogging, too easy to kill with Grav guns, D weapons and maybe even old fashion DE Venomspam).

[Jabberwocky]

Venomspam isn't too bad. Shuriken spam though, ouch.

I really want a FW Barbed Heirodule, but at $200.00 CDN, I just can not justify dropping that much on a single model at this time. Personally I like the model quite a bit.

Still working on conversion plans though.
