Necro-Nid

[Hive Bahamut]

So I just finished my rant on the Fluff of Nids and their ties to Necrons and it got me thinking. Nids and Necrons (or Tomb Terminators,) would be a deadly Hybrid. Basically pulling a Blade from Marvel, taking the strengths of each side, organic and robotic and combining them.

Immune to emp, and viral weaponry. Strong Psychic support with a survivable body that gets back up. ( Tyranids and Necrons have this similarity already, but stronger.) Basically a super expensive to create Synaptic anchor that pushes the limits of Wraithbone in terms of staying power. (That is the most durable material in 40k no? Assuming how many weapons chew through adamantium and ceramite etc.). All with the innate need to "Feed."

Has anyone else wondered about this? I am almost keen to convert one up if I can get enough input. What would be the restrictions on it, what model would look best cyborged? I'm half thinking Deathleaper or OOE.. But probably something synaptic. Does it make sense that we absorb material but still can't access computers because of our biological origins or would Avatar style work? I can't see them adapting gauss either as it is counterproductive to our harvesting..

Please enlighten me..

I've seen pictures of a whole army of tyranid models that had been extensively modified with necron bits, I believe it largely be played as either one of them. Can't seem to find it right now though...

Sounds good, a similar thing from the first Horus heresy book when there on murder? They're a kind of metal/ bug hybrid

Fluff wise, nano-bots would be more efficient, especially coupled with a viral or bacterial delivery method that could effectively utilise both organic and inorganic material.

Awesome start guys thank you for the posts. I am kind of looking at a Carnival (Spell check even knows Carnifex is a joke..) or Trygon I think but we will see. Have to wait for purchase, so lots of time to brainstorm. A nanobot/bacteria the other similarity between the two. Each has micro-mega organisms. A regenerating MC that gets back up? Or even shiny rippers to blind the enemy with? Necro-Nids..
