Games Workshop 99120106041" Start Collecting Tyranids Miniature

Product Information

Why play them: Deploy your units, insert tank shells and ordnance into your enemies’ nether regions, and use your infantry as human walls. Astra Militarum coined the phrase “leaf blower army,” in the sense that playing them is like starting up a leaf blower, pointing it at the tabletop, and blowing your opponent’s models off it. One of the best things about painting Tyranids is that, as an utterly alien race undergoing constant adaptation, they look fantastic in any colour scheme you can think of. The way you paint your miniatures in no way restricts how they play on the tabletop, so let your imagination run wild! Heightened Senses – The WARLORD can fight first in the fight phase and can re-roll hit rolls. Hoenstly not a bad buff, but it competes with better traits. B

Exoskeletal Stabilisation – Models do not suffer hit roll penalty for Advancing or moving and firing a Heavy weapon. MONSTER models do not suffer a hit penalty for firing Heavy weapons in Engagement Range. If you’re fielding horde/elite infantry, advancing and shooting without penalty is great as Tyranid guns are strong and more speed on the table is an obvious win. B+ When targeting a unit containing a Character, Critical Hits gain Precision (they can target the character even while it has living bodyguards)HFA: Hyper-aggression – Units gain +1S on the turn they charged, were charged, or performed a Heroic Intervention. This is generally going to be a fantastic trait for improving wound rolls, as it puts lesser infantry into S4 territory and pushes many stronger units over the edge as well ( Adrenal Glands Tyranid Warriors with Boneswords wounding T8 on 3+, for example). A A Hive Fleet capable of waiting out the enemy at range while setting up for the strike, Jormungandr offers up some solid survivability and utility, but a lot of the unique aspects here are a bit of a letdown. Being able to combine Buried in Wait and 3 Carnifex for 1CP is a nasty little surprise for mobility and comboed with the Territorial Instincts Adaptive Trait from Lurk which Jormungandr gets access to, there’s definitely power here. Jormungandr is the fourth most popular competitive Hive Fleet. Kronos

Balethorn Cannon – Replaces the bearers stranglethorn cannon with a weapon that adds +2S, -1AP, and +1D. Honestly not terrible if you’re looking for an anti-elite Blast weapon but there’s already a good amount of D3+ guns out there and this isn’t likely to make the cut. B- Gorgon is a poisonous fleet and it really shows in their bonuses, as it can tear down monsters and tough infantry in a sea of toxic talons but is going to have trouble against mechanized opponents. This is another fleet that really benefits large numbers of infantry and where Devourers might actually find some use ( probably not). Competitively, Gorgon sits at sixth out of seven Hive Fleets. Overview: The T'au are an optimistic Xeno race who's goal is to spread their 'enlightenment' throughout the universe. A seemingly intelligence-focused race who prefers to absorb planets and societies into their ranks by diplomacy, their technology is incredibly advanced and will help to coerce those who are reluctant to just agree. Each T'au soldier is like an individual Iron Man, displaying and deploying the latest technological advancement made by the race, often enhanced by scientific breakthroughs such as gravity fields, stealth fields or AI. Adaptive Biology – Your WARLORD has a 5+ feel no pain. If you’re looking for durability over utility, this is not a bad choice on MONSTER units, especially the “less tough” Winged Hive Tyrant. Allows you to focus your Catalyst on a secondary unit. B+ Hive Mind Discipline Norn Emissaries have self control and individuality unlike anything else in the hive fleet. Their role is to eliminate or abduct enemy commanders with their physical mightand psychic prowess.A Tyranid Synaptic Nexus is afocal point for the hive mind, led by powerfully psychic Neurotyrants, Zoanthropes, Hive Tyrants, and Malanthropes.
