Anon, read your own sentence

>SWARM

Nid's are not about individuals.

btw why isn't this in the general?

Idiots cannot into catalog and apparently want this to be like 4/tg/, with every other thread being Warhammer 40K

>Tyranidfag butthurt that his meme faction isn't the strongest

Of fucking course a Primarch is stronger. If the Primarches were alive the Tyranids wouldn't even be a threat.

While I agree with your general sentiment, both on how 'Nid fans are generally faggots of the highest order, and are insanely buttmad that their army isn't god-tier in Warhammer 30k.

However, a single primarch vs. an equal points value of well built nids doesn't cakewalk. In the rules or whatever equivalent way of saying that in the fluff.

And pardon my Gygasian wordyness, I haven't slept more than 5 hours in three days.

Surely a Primarch facing equal points of pretty much anything actually capable of wounding it is just going to get drowned. That's pretty much standard procedure with death star units.

Yes the Primarch has a lovely weapon skill (6-9)

Yes the Primarch is a tough cookie (6-7)

Yes the Primarch has a lovely strength score (6-7)

Yes the Primarch has great armour (2+ standard with two holding a 3+, they're not going to need their invulnerable saves for this sort of thing)

But, at the end of the day they're limited to 4-7 attacks, great for a single model, probably causing 3-6 wounds on an average turn (without saves) but that's of limited use against the horde they'll be facing; and eventually the horde is just going to roll enough 6's to crunch Empies baby boy.
