I think the Primary character(chaos lord/farseer/force commander equivalent) should be a Hive Tyrant, and the Secondary to (sorceror/seer council) should be Broodlord(with retinue, like Command Squad).

That sounds good. Tyranids should have a choice, Barbed or Sythed Herio would sound right.

[ZergLord]

No no no no no. Broodlord should be first, Tyrant the second!

[Sanguine]

WTFFF?? (What The Freaky Freaking (please do not swear))
Why a broodlord. Tyrant kicks broodlord's ass 4 times out of 3.

[mumbo12]

Ya, the Tyrant really feels like a leader. The broodlord's just kinda there.

[Rider]

i agree

mmm, trygon...

[hivemaster07]

Yeah Tyrant as leader, gaunts as main troops, brood lord as secondary leader, and i think they hould hae there own points like orks have.

[Sanguine]

"Bio-Mass points"
And Gargoyles: Raptors
Gaunts: Shoota Boyz
Hormagaunts: Fast Boys
Tyrant Guard: Terminators
Lictor: Nob Squad(but only 3/squad)
Biovore: Whirlwind
Zoanthrope: Predator
Carni: Dreadnought
Hierodule: Relic

Guys, the Broodlord is the first Tyranid organism (along his Genestealers) to be on a planet!!!!!!! It's logical he should be first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZergLord]

Not to mention he's more usefull for rushes than a Tyrant.

[mumbo12]

But the Broodlord being the first on the planet doesn't necessarily make it a good leader. It's really just a bigger genestealer. It doesn't really "feel" like a leader type. The Tyrant on the other hand...

[Sanguine]

What would you be more scared seeing leading the swarm thats going to smoke your ass sideways?? A stealer on steroids? Or a great hulking brute with talons longer than a dreadnought, with either wings wider than a land raider or a guard that JUST DOESN'T DIE!!

Your call.

[ZergLord]

Well, of course I think that a Tyrant would be cooler. But putting Broodlord first is MORE LOGICAL and MORE REALISTIC.

Mmm... Your mixing in stealer cult fluff with Nid fluff. I know they are very interconected but a broodlord is NOT a patriarch. Normally the stealer cult that "called" the Nids to a planet will have long died. And if you did want to have the broodlord as the starting character unit then stealers would have to be the first basic unit you could make and there would need to be brood brothers and hybrids.

As far as game terms I think the stealer infiltration side should probably be left alone.

[executioner]

its like a pathfinder should be the leader of an army...
