Product Information

Nooks and crannies in alien fleshwork great with Contrast paints. Similarly, their bone carapaces work well with dry brushing techniques, helping you make the model’s edges pop while maintaining their unique organic feel.

Overview: Hulking monks with guns. From a lore perspective, each Space Marine is seven feet tall, genetically modified, clad in power armor, and completely fearless. They have the most models out of any faction, and despite being elite foot soldiers, they somehow still have superior vehicles and tanks. The Tyranids did not arrive all at once but split their forces into several different Tyranid Hive Fleets. Each of these humongous, biomechanical armadas were given names by humanity, and many have been encountered or destroyed. 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- Synaptic Ganglia – PSYKER units can re-roll failed Deny the Witch tests and also increase the range of any manifested power by 3″. The Tyranid already have a number of anti-Psyker abilities, so this isn’t critical, especially considering a good number of matchups may not have Psykers at all… D Feed BiomorphologiesIt’s a lot easier than you might think to get your Vardenghast Swarm looking as good as they do on the box, and the paint experts at Citadel Colour have cooked up a list of their recommended paints to bring the colours of Hive Fleet Leviathan to life. The Neurotyrant is equipped with what is, functionally, a powerful psychic flamethrower. It can provide up to two Tyranid Units with ‘Synaptic Relays’ which keep them within synapse range even if they move away from synapse creatures. Suggested starting kits: Battlewagon, Meganobz, Ork Warboss Grukk’s Boss Mob, Ork Tanksbustas, Ork Boyz, Ork Warbiker Mob Littleis known of how many Hive Fleets are currently descending on the galaxy. What’s more, no one knows if these Hive Fleets represent the majority of the Tyranid forces or just a tiny scouting party.

Each round the Tyranid player can select a Synaptic Imperative bonus that will apply to all their units in Synapse range. The hive mind channels its concentrated will, making the xenos harder to kill, faster, oreven more voracious. Though the buffs are different, this is an even more flexible detachment than the Invasion Fleet, but relies more on Synapse organisms. Subterranean Assault (1CP) – During the Movement phase when a TRYGON or TRYGON PRIME model is set up on the battlefield, select a Troops unit in Strategic Reserves. That unit may be placed anywhere wholly within 9″ of the TRYGON or TRYGON PRIME and not within 9″ of enemy models. This strat requires heavy investment and the payoff is pretty underwhelming. Deep striking a Troops unit is a nice idea, but when you have to pay the points to place the Troop unit in Strategic Reserves in the first place. D Suggested starting kits: Start Collecting! T'au Empire, T'au Empire Pathfinder Team, T'au Empire Fire Warriors Strike Team The Tyranids Index Detachment, the Invasion Fleet,allows the Tyranids to adapt their weaponry to suit whatever enemy they are facing inbattle. The additional detachments in their codex allow them to double-down on one type of model: huge monsters in the Crusher Stampede,sneaky and swiftVanguard Onslaught organisms, an Unending Swarm of lesser creatures, the psychic abominations of theSynaptic Nexus, or a resilient Assimilation Swarm. Eine endlos scheinende Horde boshafter Superraubtiere, angepasste Biowaffen, die fürs Töten optimiert sind – aus der kalten intergalaktischen Leere kommen die Tyranids hervor. Sie jagen, töten und fressen ohne Unterlass und berauben die Galaxis jeglicher organischer Materie, die sie finden können. Mit rasendem Hunger verschlingen sie jedes noch so kleine Überbleibsel von Leben und hinterlassen nichts als tote, geschundene Felsen.Suggested starting kits: Start Collecting! Tyranids, Hormagaunt Brood, Termagant Brood, Genestealers Voracious Appetite (1CP) – A MONSTER unit can re-roll wound rolls in melee. A golden classic. Critical for pushing wounds on tougher targets and offsetting applications of Transhuman Physiology or its equivalent. A 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. Behemoth offers a powerful punch for those players that prefer close combat and competitively the fleet sits at the third most popular. Kraken Suggested starting kits: Start Collecting! Space Marines, Primaris Hellblasters, Thunderfire Cannon

Defeated by the Tau and the Astra Militarum, the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Gorgon specialised in adaptation, twisting their forms to the requirements of any situation. While many Hive Fleets rely on a few stalwart bioforms, Gorgon fielded variations never seen before, and never seen again following its destruction. This is an obvious limitation placed on your HIVE TYRANT models because they’re just that good. You can still dip into additional models if you want, but you’re going to have to pay the detachment tax for it and make sure you can fill your slots appropriately. With the recent change to how Synaptic Imperatives are tied to your WARLORD models status, forcing your HIVE TYRANT to take on the mantle means they’ll be an even greater target. Consider if some Tyrant Guard will fit into your army list budget, because they’re very helpful in avoiding some big-time disappointment. Hive Fleet Adaptations Tyranid Vanguard organisms are the first to make planetfall, sometimes preceding the hive fleet’s assault by months. They include infiltrator organisms like Lictors and Neurolictors, winged beasts like Gargoyles and Winged Hive Tyrants, and the rapid Genestealers. 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. Dermic Symbiosis – The model has a 4+ invulnerable. Very simple but it cannot be overstated how good this is on larger MONSTER models that don’t have an invulnerable save to start with. AOverrun (1CP) – Select one unit at the end of the Fight phase that made a charge this turn. If that unit is no longer in Engagement Range with enemy units that unit can make a Normal Move instead of a consolidation move. Great for potentially escaping danger or snagging cover/an objective. This stratagem is key to one of the most powerful units in the codex, allowing you to constantly deliver and redeliver a Winged Hive Tyrant in and out without risking it, and proper management of this stratagem will win you more games than any other. S Unstoppable Swarm – Units ignore any modifiers to Move characteristic, Advance rolls, and charge rolls. Great for tables with a good spread of Difficult Ground cover but another situational trait whose utility also depends on the matchup. If you’re playing an event where you know there’s a decent amount of difficult terrain and your list struggles with Gheist Storm due to low leadership this may be worth your consideration. Smugly ignoring Photon Grenades , Tanglefoot Grenades and the like would be satisfying, but it’s not a critical trait for an all-comers list. C- Units are treated as having the benefit of Light Cover, unless they already have Light Cover in which case they additionally have Heavy Cover.

This is a fast and fluid force. The ‘Neuronode’ enhancementallows three Vanguard Invader units to redeploy after your opponent finishes their deployment, while the ‘Seeded Broods’ Stratagem will let you deploytwo Vanguard Invader units from reserve on turn one.Psychic Scream (WC 5) – An enemy unit within 18″ suffers d3 mortal wounds and if that unit is a PSYKER and the roll result exceeds the units Leadership score the unit losses access to one psychic power randomly for the rest of the battle. Typically used to just force some extra wounds as a cheap “second” Smite . The random power loss is generally not going to be a thing and planning on it for any reason is just inviting disappointment. B Relics That bio-artillery has the Indirect Fire weapon ability,letting you target models hiding out of line of sight, and can also deposit drifting clouds of spore mines around the battlefield. What followed was a series of apocalyptic wars against these all-consuming hordes that doomed numerous planets and entire star-systems. Notable battles include the devastation of the Aeldari Craftworld Iyanden, the destruction of the Scythes of the Emperor Space Marines Chapter, and the near-obliteration of the Blood Angels and their successors. Perhaps the most famous conflict was the Battle for Macragge, in which the entire Ultramarines 1st Company died to a man defending the planet’s polar fortress.
