My old T-Fex is probably being mounted to a terrain piece for one of the various fortifications. Not sure which yet though.

You are welcome to. I'm glad it was well received. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Hi, just swarmed into the forum. I have made a number of Nid themed terrain pieces. The main one I use is the "landing pad". I use it in the walls up mode only (providing a 4+ vs shooting) To model this I created a 12"x12" maw surrounded by a few small capillary towers and containing a spawning beast. From a background point of view, i explain the 4+ save as a psychic shield generated by the hive mind. Every single player I have faced with it is more than happy for it to count as the landing pad. www.flickr.com/photos/86281847@N04/should take you to the picture, the piece to the far right of photo is the "landing pad"

just so you know, Capillary Tower
Capillary towers are often defended by brood nests filled with deadly warrior beasts. During deployment, a single unit from the below list may choose to be held in reserve and assigned to deploy at a chosen capillary tower. They do not roll for reserves as normal. Instead, when an enemy unit moves within 6” of the capillary tower for any reason, the unit that has been assigned to it is immediately deployed within 3” of the capillary tower in the exact same manner as deploying from a transport with the Assault Vehicle special rule. It may act normally from this point on. Broods deployed at a capillary tower may not be joined by Independent Characters or other units before deployment. The following units may be held in reserve at a capillary tower:
-
Tyranid Guard Brood (Hive Guard only)
-
Pyrovore Brood
-
Genestealer Brood
-
Gaunt Brood
-
Hormagaunt Brood
-
Ripper Swarm
-
Ravener Brood
-
Meiotic Spore Sacks
-
Carnifex Brood (brood may not contain multiple models)

Also Hypertrophic Flora
An area of hypertrophic flora is area terrain that functions exactly like a normal forest. It has an area of approximately 3”x5”.

it's weird, I'm looking at the Tyranid FAQ and it says:
"Q: Are Tyranid units inside buildings (i.e. the Bastion) subject to instinctive behaviour tests? Furthermore, are they able to manual fire emplaced weapons or weapon emplacements?
A: No to both questions."
am I misunderstanding this?

Until you tell us what your understanding of it is, we have no idea.

right. sorry.
my understanding is that we can only autofire with emplaced weapons, and we can never fire with weapon emplacements.
But people have said that we can, in fact, fire with gun emplacements, despite this fairly cut-and-dried response from GW. This is where I am asking for clarification.
