Sounds ironic for an army that can spam a lot of T6 wounds. Just 1 simple change could make the army much, much better. Forget about the Doom. Forget about Ymgarls. Forget about Biomancy. Just 1 simple change to their current codex would be enough to make them pretty competitive. The "fix" for the new Tyranids that I recommend would be.....<br /><br />jy2https://www.blogger.com/profile/00707283800659862260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-43456001862056158612014-01-20T13:55:11.282-08:002014-01-20T13:55:11.282-08:00I agree the hq feels very tight. not taking a tyra...I agree the hq feels very tight. not taking a tyrant sounds crazy to me, but your right death leaper sounds so usefull for the reasons you already stated. but not knowing which choice you like better is sort of a good thing. maybe? we dont want to look at a book and just be able to pick the best build in the first few seconds I think it stings so bad because they used to not compete with eachother. I also agree that a prime is probably the most survivable of the hq choises. but i dont think it is anywhere near as killy as a tyrant can be. of course the sky is the limmit on how much you can spend on that. i dont know that i think wings are a better way of keeping a tyrant alive. tyrant guard got cheaper this eddition as well so i think they should be tested out before they are dismissed. anyway i love talking about this stuff. good luck with all your hive mind endeavours garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837288971490862431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-78152614924971423932014-01-20T13:09:44.089-08:002014-01-20T13:09:44.089-08:00I still think warriors needed some changes to help...I still think warriors needed some changes to help them out but we are welcome to disagree on that point. Regardless, when I try making lists, I still feel as though things are too expensive-warriors and stealers should have been cheaper (and warriors got more expensive considering thier options generally got more expensive).<br /><br />I do agree that nids will tend to max out on troops-I think an extra force org slot in each category would make Nids A LOT better-3 HQ options would open up so many more options for nids!<br /><br />Personally, I know I want to have death leaper because of the -d3 ld penalty which can really benefit your army in terms of gimping opposing psykers and I think he offers us a nice objective denial model.<br /><br />I also want a prime somewhere in there to join a gaunt unit for easy to hide synapse or to join a venomthrope brood to tank for them. Finally a Tyrant as an HQ or two is always solid-all the slots ultimately feel too tight and limiting.Yrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953842551991627206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-44883975973220248002014-01-18T01:03:33.970-08:002014-01-18T01:03:33.970-08:00i feel that if you are trying to take them as clos...i feel that if you are trying to take them as close combat beasts you probably take them in larger groups but if you are trying to make them with a ranged focus they should probably be in small groups so as to take as many venom cannons as possible. i think you are going to be maxing out your troop choices as a tyranid player. garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837288971490862431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-90964775503451326592014-01-18T00:58:01.609-08:002014-01-18T00:58:01.609-08:00i disagree, they are 10 points per wound and have ...i disagree, they are 10 points per wound and have a 4+ save come with a reasonable gun and make all of the units in your army within 12 inches fearless. how many books would kill for something like that?garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837288971490862431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-83691574992389172062014-01-17T05:35:25.022-08:002014-01-17T05:35:25.022-08:00Warriors are actually vulnerable to anything and e...Warriors are actually vulnerable to anything and everything lol...

Their bain is s8 shooting, that is the only thing that makes them less effective. I feel like most armies have less strength 8 shooting than they used to. Sure a riptide can mess warriors up but what can't a riptide squish? obviously eldar dark reapers would squish them as well but i kinda feel that anytime the reapers are shooting at warriors and not hive tyrants is a win win in my book. i think they are a necesarry unit in order to have enough synapse to get through a game.garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837288971490862431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-2493571152320114652014-01-13T12:11:32.216-08:002014-01-13T12:11:32.216-08:00Right now, I think that Tyranids are not an army t...Right now, I think that Tyranids are not an army that aims at throwing a super-powerful death star in your face. I think that they are meant to outlast the opponet, as their troops are insanly cheap. I mean, 40 points for a Termagant brood is even less that a Cultist unit, and you even get better guns for it. There is no reason to run Tervigons right now, just run tons of little guys for far less points. <br /><br />With the rest of the points you can get big bugs or other threats so your scoring units don't get focussed as much. 40k is a objectives game 5 out of 6 times and if you can hold the objectives, no matter how much you lose, you win the scenario after all.fok12https://www.blogger.com/profile/12146856898950743967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-57211627694766492322014-01-12T07:57:37.811-08:002014-01-12T07:57:37.811-08:00Eldar are my first army, but Tyranids have been a ...Eldar are my first army, but Tyranids have been a great contrast for me and I've enjoyed playing them for a long time, but I'm not sure I can even count playing them as fun after this, while there are many units in the army, many are undesirable, or when aiming for victory, unusable. We needed some flair this time round quite frankly, and GW yet again have failed to deliver.
