'Dreadnaut hiveguard' more like 'mommy' or something

yeah that is sadly a lost battle, balance will never be perfect, on the case of the hiveguard it was really weird imo cuz its a chaff enemy that gets spammed and in a game all about the stratagems like turrets and such most of them got irrelevant with said enemy and said faction tactis (horde)

The "utility" of medium pen weapons, you mean the weapon type that had literally zero weaknesses or requirements to aim? Lol

The turret thing is true though, but saying that the hiveguard issue wasn't remotely the biggest issue is extremely disingenous when 90% of the reddit was about hiveguard

It's just not possible to please those players. As for balance team, sure sometimes, but ac4 hiveguard really wasn't the problem, the bugs one slow enemy that requires you to aim to kill it is not a bad thing, especially since that enemy was meant to be a tank and rn is just fodder that does nothing
May 19, 2026 at 12:18 PM
Lol, seriously, the outrage over giving the bugs a single enemy that requires a modicum of thought to kill just had that community fly into a rage, and after they reverted it they, of course, go on about how no one ever cared about the hiveguard(90% of the reddit was about the hiveguard)

I keep fiddling with it, but here's the current state of The Hive (aka Space Wasps) detachment list for Tiny Xenos Rampant.

I wanted to do something weird.

The commander is a giant, immobile, psychic artillery bug, (the Queen), with a giant melee bug (Hiveguard), and four flying melee drones.

my main concern is if you get a hiveguard (which is a very slow fight) bugs will catch up to you if you were just running from them, so you'd have to dodge a bajillion grunts the whole fight (and anything else you chose to not burn all your m1000 ammo on)

im going to be honest
lowkey people who are bitching about the hiveguard armor change are genuinely just bitching to bitch

it is legitimately as easy as aiming down and to the left/right

it is no different than a heavy dev on the bot front

same shit different faction, except the bug doesnt shoot

I'll say it.

The AP4 Hiveguard change isn't unfair.
Arrowhead made a solid point for why they changed it and I think they're right in doing so.

I once blew up a hiveguard with a deliberate node self destruct. Got the footage to prove it, but I sadly haven't ever been able to replicate it. ^^

Dont ask, i dont know why my brain thought "Glyphid Dreadnaught Girls" and decided it was a good idea.

So here's the Hiveguard.

Also: one time I was running low on ammo on a Dreadnought kill mission with not enough nitra for a supply dropp so I lured a Crassus detonator to the Dreadnought and hoped for the best

It was a Hiveguard but I managed to kill it with the detonator luckily

yea, that one can take really long to kill
we need to engineer a method to pop a hiveguard in 1 or 2 cycles

Hiveguard will continue the Lictor + Malstrain head basis, but get the Barblauncher (Barbgaunts) in the upper socket with the front of a Hiveguard Shock cannon mounted infront, with the warriors wielding them in a similar pose to horus heresy shoulder mounted lascannons
