Tyranid Tactica - 6th Edition

Thanks for the feedback!

Regarding the Tervigon, the way it works with Smash is that you halve it's base attacks, rounding up and then add modifiers. Now, a Tervigon has 3 attacks base, so when it Smashes, it gets 2 attacks - half of 3 is 1.5, and then you round up, and get 2. Crushing Claws add a minimum of 1, meaning you get between 3 and 5 S10 attacks as opposed to 4-6 S5 attacks! So for 25 points, you essentially lose out on one attack, and even if the ceiling is lower than with the S5 attacks, they are oh so much more deadly. With my Tervigons, the only times I don't Smash are when I am wounding on 2s anyway against single wound models - i.e. if I have Adrenal Glands and charge Space Marines, or I'm fighting Eldar and so on. Charge bonuses also raise the ceiling a bit.

Just something handy I've noticed about monstrous creatures with uneven Attacks values
