I wish with just how random sitw is it did more, like if a unit failed sitw and only sitw they get -1 to hit or -1 to advance and charge, something

Tyranids have a lot of strengths. They're like Terrans, in that they're an army of heavily specialized units that all have to do the job they were made for if you want to get anywhere. Most of the units in the army are making saves 1-2 points off of where they should be, so you need to be playing both aggressively and also incredibly safely. If you mess up and lose your lictors/genestealers in turns 1-2 without effectively blocking and trading up, you're *really* in the soup... This is the army that needs to discover how sticky objectives work the most desperately lol

I do double-melee on my tyrant because I can’t be trusted to let him peek safely lol

When using SITW and figuring out target priority for the Smothering shadow strat from synapticnexus, who decides order of battle-shock for units or is it treated as happening at the same time and pick target after all rolls?

Whoop whoop!

This format is great. Really like the cross analysis with Thousand Sons. Great use of the map to show position. Like the win conditions on primary. If you ever run out of Tyranid content could do some Dark Angles, Death Guard, Thousand Sons, or World Eaters. Seems like you guys have plenty of armies across the team for Wednesday Night.

thanks for the game ! pushing me back into 40k with tyranids haha

Hi guys just started into the hobby currently working on a bug army. The content is very helpful to learning the different units and how to use them. Watch every live stream on a Thursday. If possible could you maybe do a video or guide me to where I can properly learn terminology for games and how the work in games?

Good lord, Ahriman is a tenacious bastard! Making like 10 saves in a row, when all of them are a real threat of killing him straight up. Harrowing to watch lmao

Big guns lets monsters shoot "non-big gun" units they're in engagement with, so the tyrannofex could have hit the guy hacking away at his hind legs with the spine banks. It wouldn't have let the Maleceptor shoot the terminators punching him though, since you can't fire blast weapons into combats where you have units involved lol

Every time I see someone recommend Genestealers over Lictors I have to remind myself that they're not *wrong*, just misguided. The dollar to points on the bastards, though, definitely excuses choosing something else as your vanguard critter lol

If we're looking at all the 100-300pts threats at ranged, I honestly think 6 hive guard should have been considered. Their guns are fantastic at plowing into their preferred targets, and their overwatch threat levels are tremendous

VRLs with the new heroic intervention shenanigans are great to trap on objectives for destruction and counter scoring

Question for my fellow hive node: how many gargoyle flocks do you recommend for an invasion fleet? I'm current two 10 mans, one starting on board and one 10 man in deep strike. But I kinda really want to run a full 6 man Zoanthrope block, and that 85 points would get me to that 100 points, and I also want to get a 3 man of Raveners too. For context my list has a ground tyrant, same as yours, a Neurotyrant+3 Zoanthropes, 2x10 gargoyle flocks, OOE+1 Carnifex, rupture tyrannofex, lictor, Broodlord and a 10 man genestealers, 2x Maleceptors, Deathleaper, Biovore, And An Exocrine

Me here owning three of every unit almost and still watching this lol. Ps eBay has saved me a lot of money

First step learn to print an army lol. But seriously play what is fun

Super dope! Building some harlequins while I catch up on this one. Cheers fellows!

Impossible to follow if your only listening 🙄 and neuroloctor reactive battle shock is difficult to get off, I think a bit overrated

For the 1k crusade games I've been playing I usually keep two 10-man term units with devourers orbiting him, for 40 shots of STR4 lethals helping to bodyguard him. Basically every turn of the game he's regrowing termagants with the free Command Point on my turn lol Naturally he has the FNP Enhancement stapled to him, and in 5 more XP he'll actually have Lone OP from a crusade relic, which is hilarious

Thanks so much for these videos! I just started really getting excited about what my tyrant can do recently, just the other day I charged him on turn 3 to help save my Norn Emissary from the Avatar of Kaine on center. I was scared to risk him like that but it paid off! Anyway, I think I will be excited to jump in on that list reviewing action...

Been playing Nids for a few months and finally got enough big bugs to try Crusher out. I haven’t been this excited for a while. I think Crusher will fit my playstyle the best of all Detachments.

Fisrt awesome vid!You got me confuze a bit here with the use of the free cp, "use it(agressively)in your turn ,don't use it in your turn you don't get it back"? I was also woundering about the will of the hive mind and strats like invisible hunter in vanguard. It says: up to two va guard units.... does both units needs to be in the 12" aura to work. ex 2 mawlocs if I just have one in the aura, the strat trigger and I can pick-up another vanguard unit thats not in the aura?thx

Since you were going all out like this you could've at least shown us numbers for all of the Tyrannofex data sheets, also you kinda ommited it has a second gun.

Running 3 mawloks because why not

Another great video! I love these and your details, bullet points, and visual aids, keep it up! Now to continue my crusade arguing that Perfectly Adapted is the slightly superior choice to Adaptive Biology. Like you, I run him with a venom cannon and I play cagey until round 4. Arguments to choose Perfectly Adapted: 1. Perfectly Adapted is 15 points, as opposed to 25 points, which can be the difference between having 10 termagants or upgrading to 10 hormagaunts, or other such upgrades. 2. Perfectly Adapted gives you rerolls every turn, so you don't need to spend his free strat to reroll an advance or charge on your turn, and you can use your CP reroll to ensure your rupture cannon shot goes through instead. If you make the charge without the reroll, you can use the reroll to ensure all your hits go through. 3. Defensively, against high-strength guns, you can use your Perfectly Adapted reroll to try again for your 4++. So this enhancement is helping you nearly every round, whereas Adaptive Biology is likely only helping you for two rounds at best. Now Perfectly Adapted lags behind Adaptive Biology when it comes to low damage weapons like power fists. But if you are playing right, your Tyrant isn't in close combat until round 4 anyways, and by then he's likely the best target for the 5++ FNP strat anyways. Note - I have often found that when defending against high strength high damage weapons, and you fail two invul saves, use Perfectly Adapted for one, and it's usually better to use your CP reroll on an invul save rather than on the 5+++ FNP - though that does depend on how many shots are coming your way.

Can the swarmlord do the same job as the hive tyrant on foot ?

I will say there's an argument for the Stranglethorn Cannon since Pariah now as well; Assault/Blast/Lethal/Sustained (you get all of it in Invasion) works better with higher volume, and with Lethal you don't have to worry as much about the lower Str. Plus at Dmg 2 it fits a comfy slot to shoot marines, leaving all your Dmg 3 shots to the bigger things! And if after all that you're still worried about AoC, remember that by the time you get to this gun they've probably already spent it somewhere so it's easier to avoid. Give it a try, it may surprise you!

Love these deep dives. Would you be able to go into the aircraft units a bit (at least as a part of another dive) to explain why they’re so unseen in 10th?

love the layout of the vid, makes it way more clear what is going on :D

18:53 im not allowed to play my assimilation swarm in most games on table top simulator because the fights first hive tyrant can kill so meny models before you can swing. I run 6 hive gaurd with a unit of pyrovores for coverstriping to run in and help remove problem targets. Avatars, vehicle, even ctan. Then the hive tyrant sits there as the buggest first first threat in the entire game. 36 attack lethals damage 1, 4 attack damage 2 and 6 attack damage 3 twinlinked all before you can get a hit off. Not to mention the overwatch you just eat coming.

Hive tyrant really does it all

For poorhammer. Take your HT base and put it on a carton/box and draw a circle and you have a proxy base.

This video was awesome thank you :) I think I may actually go back to running Tyrant v 2 Norns. I couldn't decide between Invaison and Synaptic, Synpatic having the 12" no deepstrike, in the new meta of 3" Aquillons seems to good not to take. LOVE the list idea, not just cause i write so many ;)

All Nids are best bugs :)

I really can’t decide between melee/ranged because with synaptic nexus he’s much more tanky so you have to protect him a little less, but with irresistible will, a malecptor, tyrannofex, and of course the zoanthropes he helps buff the hell out of a ranged death ball

What is the map tool you use at 4:00 ?

The ground tyrant is definitely the best out of the tyrants, but I will say the paroxysm ability of the flyrant has some slept on defensive power. In Synaptic nexus, combining the enhancement available in that attachment that reduces the damage characteristic of all enemy attacks by 1, and then the paroxysm can reduce the number of attacks from the chosen unit by 1, it can reduce damage by alot

Great stuff! Hive Tyrants are truly beasts in 10th Edition. Their damage is legitimate, but the real value does indeed come from the damage and durability they provide to your other units. A Tyranid army without one can have teeth, but an army that does include one has fangs. Excellent model.

Yes.

Where does it say you can't have worse then a 9 on their battle-shock? Can you reply with a reference?
