No zoats for nids :(

[hunk]

I’ve been searching for zoat rules since it was announced yay a new tyranid model maybe but no sadly. I found some in white dwarf issue 452 and its keywords have nothing to do with nids and it’s unaligned
Also it’s only the kill team rules so will it not be useable for 40k at ?all

those are KT rules, so not super relevant.

most of the blackstone fortress stuff has 40k rules. it's just they're not really useful. i wouldn't figure this would buck the trend.

Yeah, and most are unaligned anyway, same as this (so you can take them, just only in an aux because no HQs).

[hunk]

Really!!!! I was hoping we could but my heart sank a little when I looked at the kill team rules

[No One]

Yeah, unaligned can be taken with any faction, but you need to take them in a det that's only unaligned still (which, since there's currently no HQs unless zoat is, means aux only. i.e. Really bad).

Would it be any good in a kill team?

I havent checked its rules, what role is it suppoaed to fill? (i know diffent rule systems and all.. )

It’s like it’s own thing doesn’t go on any armies and attacks both like an obstacle I can bring up the full ruleset if you want

No need, i finaly stopped being lazy and checked the link. My first impression is it looks like a hybrid tyrant guard or a heavier warrior. Perhaps against tanks or termis.

Back in the RT days i used them as shock troops they were bad to the bone.
I converted a few old zoat models to act as hive guard.
