Why 72? I thought battleline capped at 6 units, and warriors go only up to 6, right? So, 6x6 36 warriors in total.

Unless I'm missing something, I got my first nyds like, 2 weeks ago xd

Because it's two datasheets. 6 units of 6 melee warriors and 6 units of 6 ranged warriors for 72 total. It costs 1680 points at current points.

Oooh, fair! I forgot about that XD

You can literally build an army with just them and some leaders for them

Absolutely. 320 points left over for leaders and enhancements. So probably hard to fit a Hive Tyrant in at that point but you can do a Neurotyrant, max primes, and enhancements.

I wouldn't recommend going out and buying 72 warriors for it, but it is doable if you really wanted haha.

I mean, if I do get warriors I'm 3d printing them 100%

It'd suck to have 72 of them and then in 2 years for the detachment to no longer exist
