Carpets of Gaunts are an iconic part of the Tyranid army, but one of the challenges with them has always been getting enough bodies into a fight for their numbers to be a factor. Yesterday we took a look at some of thebiggest bugsthat the Tyranids have to offer, and today well be answering that age-old question which keeps Guardsmen awake in their bunks at night would you rather fight one Carnifex-sizedHormagaunt, or 10 Hormagaunt-sizedCarnifexes? Synaptic Insight returns from the Warzone Nachmund book, and its still baffling fiddly to set up, fiddly to track, and capped at only 12VP for reasons that are unclear. Like all Carnifexes, they now have damage reduction and a 2+ save, making them a pain to kill, and anything they touch in melee is essentially doomed on the charge, they have 7+d3 S10 AP-4 attacks for d3+3 damage and yeahhh. When an opposing Psyker fails a Psychic Test within 18 of one of your Psykers, you can deal them d3 Mortals and set up an 18 Aura from that model where any further failed casts will cause another d3 Mortals. They were unwilling** to discuss their ordeal any further, which might explain why confirmed sightings have since been so rare. AP nothin. Speaking of Ripper Swarms, theyve moved here from Troops and unfortunately that means they dont have much of a role they die to a light breeze, theyre not ObSec, and you cant use them to fill mandatory detachment slots. This is potentially backbreaking for armies that cast lots of powers, and can help you snipe out pesty elves too. Its just science. The idea of having a Broodlord and Genestealer immediately encroaching on enemy turf is certainly cool, but the unit is just outshone by the other choices. Its strong enough that it probably edges out Searhive, which allows a model with Toxin Sacs to just auto-wound in melee against targets that arent VEHICLES or MONSTERS, but that is also pretty funny.

The issues here are that a subset of the units feel like theyre a step above the rest, and the horde troops are maybe a point per model overcosted, encouraging you to lean into the pushed stuff rather than building more balanced lists. Originally planned to release thiscoming December, Games Workshop teased the codex as an accompaniment toShadow Throne,a double army boxed setthat pitted the golden boys against the insidious Genestealer Cults. Add the Alien Cunning warlord trait for ObSec and counting as 5 models for control, and youve got an incredible bargain for 95pts that will give opponents fits. Given they also get a chance to deal mortals with a mighty bite when they attack, have all the same defensive options as a Trygon, and rock in at a spicy 125pts, these feel like the distraction unit of choice in this slot. The Swarmlord is apparently so angry about these changes that it can deny an extra power in the Psychic phase, and it takes its anger out on nearby CORE units by using Domination of the Hive Mind to allow any hit rolls to be re-rolled (instead of just results of 1 like a plebian unnamed Hive Tyrant). There are also some minor buffs or nerfs to existing effects Rapid Regeneration for a d3 wound heal now only costs you 1CP and Unyielding Chitin (damage reduction for warriors) has been renamed to Reinforced Hive Node and considerably buffed it now costs more on units of 5+ models, but works in melee too, which is huge if you want either big Warrior units as a centrepiece or small Leviathan ones to be annoying thanks to permanent Transhuman. You do get more bang for your points, with both getting a 5+ save, Termagants getting S5 AP-1 fleshborers (though their version of the devourer has been downgraded), and Hormagaunts getting a third attack and AP-1, but in the current metagame theres a lot of stuff that will still just sweep these off. There are big rewards for those who pack their army with a wide rangeSYNAPSEcreatures, and who can pick the right moment to trigger their Imperatives. Giving a Hive Tyrant Obsec can be both defensive and offense.

Games Workshop announced the new Eldar codex as part of its Las Vegas Open preview stream on February 1, 2022. That voracious speed can be replicated in your games with the Enfolding Strike stratagem, which lets you infect enemy combatants with a drive-by sting. First up, its the old workhorse* of the Tyranid hive fleet, the trustyCarnifex. Last up, and with the flashiest improvements, Tyranid Warriors. Warhammer 40k: Eldar and Tyranids codexes coming next Games Workshop has revealed that Warhammer 40k's Craftworlds Aeldari will be the next 9th edition codex to come out - followed by the Tyranids Alex Evans Published: Feb 1, 2022 Warhammer 40k The basic vibe we get from this is that the Psychic stuff is going to actively enable you to go off in a way that you might not otherwise manage in lists built around it, then various other effects from units you already want in your army like Hive Tyrants are going to provide you with a toolbox to deploy at the appropriate moment. Something thats completely new here is a number of the psychic powers available to the Hive Mind now use Synaptic Link range, which can make your psychic phase quite a bit more effective if youve properly arranged your SYNAPSE models but could bite you if you make a mistake in positioning or your canny opponent breaks your link chain. Its slightly unclear if its intentional, but currently a foot Hive Tyrant can take two heavy venom cannons or two stranglethorn cannons (just not one of each), and a bodyguarded Tyrant getting full wound re-rolls on shooting feels pretty good! ++1x Venom Cannon You can also nab custom AdMech-themed player aid datacardsand dice alongside the codex. These two potent bioweapons shared with its smallerVenomthropecousins make the Toxicrene the perfect response to massedINFANTRY. Wings: I am writing after a day of GT play where I have had badly timed vehicle explosions result in the annihilation of key characters two games running, so this is looking pretty good from where Im sitting. Thats right, were talking about the many terrifying improvements Codex: Tyranids is bestowing upon the many millions of wee critters that make the Hive Fleet work. The whole book is designed to provide much wider strategic variety among Adepta Sororitas armies, which has been found wanting in recent years. Its been observed in a growing number of war zones across the galaxy, but it was on the planet of Mortrex that this bat-winged nightmare was first sighted. Neurothrope, Synaptic Tendrils, Adaptive Neural Lobe, Catalyst, Onslaught 100, Elites For the many games where you dont need this, you get access to the strong picks of both the Hunt and Lurk lists, which gives you some options for going fast and options for doubling down on defensive picks as the need arises. If so, then good news with a great thundering of chitinous feet, the 9th Edition Tyranid Codex has arrived, bringing improved datasheets, new tools and some terrifying combos to a tabletop near you. This can sometimes be a sidegrade, as games absolutely can be flipped by one of your units going bang in the middle of the enemy army at a key moment, but the change removes the big drawback of explosions, which is that theyll sometimes completely ruin you when the opponent gets a strong start and pops a few units in your deployment zone. This lets one of your units benefit from an extra Synaptic Imperative for a turn, and is both a flexible and potent tool in the abstract, and extremely good at enabling super-powered Maleceptor combos in the specific. The Sisters new centrepiece character model, Vahl is given a lot of attention in the updated codex, and has been designed to synergise with whatever you stick in your Sisters of Battle army. Given that these are living bombs, you wont be surprised to learn that getting too close to them can have consequences (Mortal Wounds), but they dont prevent the opponent from generally going about their business. The Deathwatch supplementincludes youve guessed it army-specific datasheets, rules, and bespoke Crusade content for the elite Chamber Militant of the Ordo Xenos, a.k.a. Alternatively, if you have them under the Maleceptor Synaptic Imperative for Action and Shoot, do both! This list is a basic tour through all the best datasheets slammed into a Leviathan shell. The Hive Fleet with a need for speed, 9th edition Kraken eschews its ability to fall back and charge (which you can thankfully access elsewhere) and gains a new lethality on the approach in the form of Questing Tendrils, bumping melee AP by 1 if a unit charges. The Swarmlord received some pretty serious changes from the last book. A byproduct of the spores churned out by this chitinous chain-smoker, this venomous fog burns everything it touches, inflicting mortal wounds on enemies just for being in Engagement Range of a Toxicrene and rendering them unable to fight until after all of your units have had their turn. This is incredible opponents are going to sigh deeply as their lances bounce of T7 Flyrants, and it makes a unit of Warriors lurking behind a wall extremely difficult to promptly clear out in combination with Reinforced Hive Node. What about nastier monsters? Until the start of your next Command phase, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, add 1 to that attackshitroll. Were not going to mention this every time it comes up, but the baseline power of monsters can be assumed to be up from previous incarnations.

This rule allows your horde of critters to fight so long as they are within 2 inches of an enemy model, so with some proper arrangement a large unit of bugs on 25mm bases should be able to get three ranks into combat. In this book, rather than being super speedy Advance/Charge blenders theyre your Scout deploy unit theyre still nasty in a fight, hitting with 4A each at AP-3, but dont get Advance/Charge, and only get a 4+ invulnerable save in melee (5+ at range) so dont want to get caught in the open. Wait, could that be? They do have some upgrade options that are worth a look you can buy them an extended carapace for a 4+ base save in exchange for M7, and that could be worth it given how youre likely to set them up (skulking in mid-board cover), and Toxin Sacs for the unit makes them a bit more broadly scary. Start Competing: Chaos Space Marines Updated! ISBN-10. This is done on a pure model count rather than anything count as 5, so it means this is never on for monsters (but they can already do it with the generic Voracious Appetite stratagem, so whatever) but is much easier to activate for mid-weight infantry like Tyranid Warriors or Raveners. Some people may raise an eyebrow at the mixed sword/whip on the Tyranid Warriors and thats an easy answerthats what I already had modeled and it also works well enough I dont feel like reconfiguring them. Depending on your build, these are also great with the Swarmlord as they not only greatly extend its life but being CORE can bully non-ObSec units off objectives with an application of Hive Commander. Leviathan Battalion With Warhammer 40k 10th edition around the corner on the heels of the Arks of Omen narrative books heres a look back at all the 9th edition releases.

This makes it easier to plunge one into the thick of the action, which is even more valuable thanks to the new Synaptic Imperatives, especially since this particular synapse node doubles up as a giant psychic shotgun. This list makes good use of Gargoyles to accomplish some of the better action-oriented Secondaries and has enough durability and numbers to keep Engage going for a long while. Theyre probably not totally out of contention, especially in Kronos, but theyre much, much harder to use because the impaler cannon now only has 24 range (and needs a SYNAPSE unit to spot for it in order to shoot indirectly).

Monstrous rending claws are also just gone in general, so you do have to pick real options rather than just leaning on cheap re-rolling claws.

A bunch of other units get some specific strats Exocrines can have exploding 6s, Lictors can boost charges for things joining them in melee or dive into strategic reserves, Trygons can bring your Troops in from their tunnels, Toxicrenes can force stuff to include them in any charge they make, all cool effects and plenty pretty useful. Six Pyrovores is a pretty vicious autohit fusillade, a Maleceptor could start immediately melting faces, and honestly just 20 Hormagaunts might not be terrible. It feels like Gorgon wants you to stack up plenty of Hormagaunts, Genestealers, Raveners, Pyrovores and big units of Tyranid Warriors with high shot ranged weapons, and the resulting army feels like it should be pretty good, but not the best thing this book can be doing and maybe not the best way to run that army in this book!
