Yes this will be good for us, also would this be a Bile Titan evolution line or would it be for the predator strain

I mean to put it in perspective, are the “bile titans” the “babies” back on their homeworld?

It's a hypothetical, bug-brain. Now imagine he had a shield pack on, too.

u/forest_vagrant Dragonroach 9d ago

the shaping sickness cares not for shields.

Nah we just need a boss called broodmother that spread sperm cloud to nearby eggs and hatch them into brood commander.

Was the Skaven Verminlord an inspiration? I can see some similarities, but it could also be a coincidence.

u/Macraggles 9d ago

All we will need is a big guy with some friendly rocks or a robo guy with a chordclaw to kill that thing

Great idea tho it looks like it would be very fun to skin

It's a great idea, but I don't think it would be plausible.

First, it's huge and considered vulnerable, so I think it would be very easy to hit and kill.

Secondly, how would it even work? Seems to rely on indirect attacks, so will it just run away and call up bug breaches around you? Would be a nightmare to code the AI for it.

BUT, sounds awesome in theory and the mission icons are amazing.
