How to use a Neurolictor

[venicio]

Hello Hive Mind,
I am trying to play Vanguard Onslaught detachment and was hoping I could get some tips on the most effective way to use a Neurolictor.

Any tips welcome!

I think there's two main ways to use neurolicthors well.

1. They can be used as lone operatives to hold objectives. This is ok to do but doesn't play into their special rules.
2. They can be used as force multipliers in conjunction with battleshock. You can pop ways to force more battleshock rolls on your opponent and if/when they fail, the neurolicthor provides +1 to wound for your army allowing you to take down tougher targets

I think good players probably use them to flip objectives for secondaries via forcing battleshock rolls? I could be wrong though.

Thank you for your insight.
I was having trouble destroying T10 vehicles but you made me realize I should try to use the Neurolictor to help.
Thanks

Nids struggle into high toughness or good saves. The +1 to wound definitely can help.

Generally you play them for the +1 to-wound, -1 to-hit, and command phase battle-shock. Try to position them safely to where the opponent will still end their turn within 12” so you can always force a test. They also work great for turning off or wasting overwatch by charging a target with your warriors or genestealers.
