No Neurothrope or Tyranid Prime profile?

[beastoftanagra]

Maybe I’m missing something, if so, I’m sorry to waste everyone’s time.

It looks like there’s no independent profile for the Neurothrope, Tyranid Prime, or Trygon Prime, but you can include them in Warrior and Zoanthrope units and get some buffs for it.

Does that mean they just have the same stars as the Warrior/Zoanthrope/ Trygon in the unit?

Thanks.

Yes, only the Neurothrope actually has a special rule attached to it.

Potentially to return in the codex. The big reason it's there is to stop people from complaining that they can't use their tyranid prime now (you can, it just doesn't do anything)

Good thing I have an old shrike model I can use for a wingie-prime.

I noticed that too, it was very strange and kind of bothersome. Why bother even designating the Tyranid Prime as a separate model in the unit if it doesn't have any unique stats, rules or wargear options? The same is also true of the Neurogaunt Nodebeast.
