Alright, here's another go:

2 HQ, 1 Elite, 5 Troops,1 FA, 1 HS; 47 Models

Hive Tyrant; Old Adversary/Hive Commander, Tl Devourers, HVC, Leech Essence, Paroxysm 235
Tyranid Prime;...

Thanks for the advice. You seem to have missed my Hive tyrant though ^^; He add another MC, Hive Commander, and a widdle bit more shooting. I don't think he fixes my problems you described though.

Hey guys. Back in Januray I took a break from my nids due to the new codex "ruining" my army (or at least my 115 point fexes T_T). Now I'm coming back to taking these buggers off the shelf and back...

I don't have my rulebook handy so you may have to enlighten me about page 15.

I'm not sure where rules come into this, but I do seem to rember a rule about 'having fun.' If you don't think team...

I guess I'm in a minority, but personally I think you are making a big deal out of nothing.

I play a lot of team games, usually 2v2 or 3v3, so is not quite the same as quite a large battle, but...

This critter should only cost 195 points.

The reason being you can't spit them out every turn. You're going to get out 1-2 turns, 3 if you get lucky. When the game is winding down, and your tervigon is hunkering down on an objective, would...

Yes, take definitley take tervigons. You lose some numbers, but you get tons of benefits in return.

It boils down to the question: What is the purpose of your gaunts?

Is it to capture...

Definitely go with the Tervigons. They're tough, they're scary, and they make gaunts actually worth it. You might be able to buy 40 gaunts, but you aren't going to keep them alive. Tervigons let you...

Spawning turn one= doing it wrong.

You can really only rely on a Tervigon for one or two squads of gaunts.Don't pop them out to get shot out when you can have them sit tight in your handy little...

I'd say the right Gaurd or SM army could do it. Bring enough missile launchers/lascannons, or double melta wolf gaurd in pods. :D

Eldar have been able to do it since 4th, so its not exactly a new rule. Besides, if my opponent is fielding 2 200+ point models that go down to 6 krack missles, I wouldn't be the one complaining....

"If a Lictor is on the board at the beginning of his movement phase, the Tyranid player may add +1 to his reserve rolls."
"...whilst the Hive Tyrant is alive you add +1 to reserve rolls."

I've got some questions 'bout the new dex, and I don't think they need thier own thread so I'll just ask them here:

IB- Lurk "...if there are no enemies in line of sight or in range of at least...

That was last edition. Models that assault through cover are reduced to initiative 1, unless they have assault grenades.



Hadn't though of outflanking them. Good idea. :) I'm not sure about...

So, what's the opinion on Bonesword Warriors? On paper they look great, they cut through marines like butter, not to mention that they totally screw necrons, ignoring WBB and insta-killing that pesky...

Since its confirmed you can have a Trygon and Mawlock in the same list, I would bet you can double up on trygons. With the fex nerf I see triple Trygon/Mawloc lists being the new nidzilla.

From the battle report in the WD, I remember a blurb on Hormagaunts, and I'm pretty darn sure they had Scything Talons and the re-roll.

The list gave the point cost for the whole unit of 15 hormagaunts. They cost 5 less points than a current carnifex chassis. So either they meant to put 16 homagaunts, or there is a 5 point squad...

Any one else see the battle report/list in the new White Dwarf? I confirmed some point costs. I'm not sure what the policy is here, so feel free to take this down.

We already know some of this...

That sounds cool but really weird. It seems most of the major rules are known so I don't know the likelihood of something like that not being mentioned. I would certainly be nice and clear up some...

So we lost eternal warrior, fleet, move through cover, 114 point fexes, 2+ saves, and feeder tendrils. What did we get again?

Erm, is it just me or have the nids been nerfed?!

Okay, I don't really believe that but these stats don't sound too impressive. Seems there is a push for ridiculous special characters, which I...

From the 'Instinctive Beheviour- Lurk 'special rule of the Biovore, it looks like there will be different types of behaviours when out a synapse. Kewl. Some 'Instinctive Behaviour- Assault' units...

Kewl, I though the double stack always looked fishy but I just went with it. I've got a 4th ed, but I don't actually have a 5th ed rulebook so I can't easily double check on rules things. Sounds like...
