Master Twig posted:So far every 6th edition game I've played has been with my Tyranids. Tomorrow i will be playing with my Imperial Guard for the first time. I've made a new list. May be good, may be poo poo. Well one of your "assault" blobs is dragging around embedded heavy weapons which will be worthless once you're in assault. Otherwise your heavy support options seem to lack focus, manticore and demolisher are both great this edition, but if you can maybe throw in two of one, instead of one of each?

"Hybrid" Tyranids are a solid army, Termagants and Genestealers/Hormagants supported by Tervigons works pretty well, Hive Tyrants are also great combat monsters, Hive Guard or Zoanthropes for ranged anti-tank, or Tyrannofexes if you want really long range.

Googling cool insects is great advice when deciding tyranid schemes. That said, I hate painting so much, but that might be from running armies that start at 60 models. Or it could be that paint is dumb and for bads and I haven't found a cool show to stick on in the background for months.

Played one of my last games of 5th today versus a mate running Marines, destroyed him with my 24 Genestealers thanks to some crazy battle mission missions. Highlight was 8 poison stealers with Broodlord just eating an entire squad of Assault Marines in a single charge, Broodlord himself murdered 4 on his lonesome. Oh God I love initiative 7 so much. But it brought up a rules question, which I still have for 6th so answer in that context. If termagants charge veterans that are in cover, and I DON'T have assault grenades, termagants go at initiative 1. BUT if I'm already in cover and charge them, do I still need assault grenades or equiv? What if I move into cover during the movement phase and then assault him?

Baruch Obamawitz posted:What would be a good points cost for a Pyrovore? 15 points? The problem isn't the cost, it's that it's an anti-infantry flamer competing with the only reliable anti-tank options in an army where pretty much everything is anti-infantry. Also, anyone looking to get refunds on NIB GW stuff in Australian GW's, you're poo poo out of luck.

So I'm not really that well versed on the Imperial Amour stuff, but is there anything cool in any of them for Tyranids? I've got the Apocalypse rules of some things, but more interested in units I can use for 40k.

Well I guess that's a relief? Not the Tomb Spider thing, although that does make me want to start that Necron army even more.

xtothez posted:The only exception here is if you own a Hierophant and can be rather persuasive. When the rules for this was made, it was given the Warp Field ability which was a 5++ save at the time (4e codex). In 5e this was changed to 3++, which makes the T9 W10 bio-titan pretty loving mean. Especially if you pair up his BS3 S10 weapons with the new Preferred Enemy... Surprised they haven't made "Tervigons" that can spawn hormagaunts/genestealers or the like. Also Hierophants sounds fantastic, 12 S10 shots? Next you'll be telling me they're large blasts!

I only discovered because my opponent In my last 5th Ed tournament was dumbfounded my genestealers weren't outflanking, he then helpfully informed me that infiltrate does indeed let you outflank. This information was helpfully presented in a single paragraph, right at the end of the softcover 5th Ed rule book, and not mentioned anywhere else that I could find. Hire a better index writer GW.

Man I hope Kharn gets Eternal Warrior or something similar, watching him get blatted by powerfists was never nice, although with 8 attack he does seem like he'd be a challenge monster, so long as the opponent hasn't got a 2+ at least. Shame there's no other benefit to mark of Khorne except for rage, I want Khornate havocs damnit!

kannonfodder posted:Rules question: If a unit has an ability that buffs allies within X" distance, and they get in a transport, you measure the distance from any point of the transport's hull, right? What ability do you mean? Mostly the vehicle needs fire ports or to be open topped, and if it's not open topped you generally measure from the fire ports.

ghetto wormhole posted:^^^ Why not drop the heavy bolters on the Vendetta and put some grenade launchers at least in those two veteran squads? Maybe put a heavy weapon in the sniper rifle squad. Heavy Bolter Sponsons are only 10 points, so he'd be able to give one squad 2, not really worth it. But what is your plan with your list Babe Magnet? You don't seem to have many ways for your veterans to either run around in or murder people with.

Ah I love fighting Dark Angel terminator armies when I'm not marines. Oh no I lost a squad of termagants, guess I'll have to spawn some more. Enfeebling a command squad and watching them and Belial eat it to a bunch of poisoned termagants is my new favourite thing. Even spending far too much on a hive tyrant wasn't a problem as he just hung back letting Gants reroll all them 1's. Pink dice supremacy.

krushgroove posted:Playing my first 2000 point game tomorrow night, which should be interesting...I want to use the Chaos Cultists though, so any thoughts on how many points they should cost? I've never looked at IG point costs, but I suppose that's a good starting point? Allied Guard could work: 1 Primaris Psyker - Trade out his powers for Biomancy 2x Vet squads - Give them whatever special weapons are most applicable to the cultist loadouts. You could use penal legionaires I guess but they're pretty bad so. That'd cost you between 210 - 300 points depending on special weapons and such.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:The Lemun Russ Executioner looks like it could be really effective given the current meta. Being able to drop 5 plasma blasts on your target seems incredibly effective given the elimination of LoSir shenanigans. Well they're S7 so not instant-deathing marines, small blast at BS3 which means scatter hurts, and since they're templates you can't snap fire the sponsons if you move.* *still not up on the FAQ's or rules so that might all be wrong. Anyways, Doubles Tournaments sure are a thing. I wish clubs/tournaments would realise that line of sight blocking terrain is loving fantastic and makes the games more interesting.
