i forgot - in one of the aliens books there is a 'super queen' that controls all normal queens. she has 3 or 4 praetorian drones that are larger than regular queens and she also dwarfs her praetorians. while nowhere near the scale of bio-titans they're the biggest thing the aliens have and would all make mincemeat of tyrants and carnifex's, the problem being, as far as i know, that there is only 1 super queen and only 3 or 4 super drones.

in a "fair" fight - even numbers and close quarters - i think drones would massacre warriors. drones have no pain receptors at all, thay have no eyes to be stabbed :p, they have the strength to tear through 3 inch thick steel easily, even after having both arms and legs blown off they are still extremely hostile and lethal, in close combat their acid blood would be a serious threat. these traits coupled with their uncanny agility and wall/roof crawl ability is what gives me this opinion.

interjection of a big - BUT, a "fair" fight isn't how tyranids roll :)
