My favourite 1k list atm I really want to run is 40 termagaunts, 20 with devourers, 20 with flesh boarers. Then 40 hormagaunts. A tervigon with the feel no pain enhancement and a swarm lord. Painted as a kraken list I think this would be a hilariously fun list to play with for some casual games. Big ole rush up the middle of the board

i suppose with tyranids its less morale and more ''how physically messed up it is'' for battle shock, and synaps being the thing that basically forces the creature to ignore the pain and keep going. because besides termagant's, tyranids are not really known for self preservation or fear.

11:50 broodlord does not have the synapse keyword, it + linchpin is a great combo

@keggotht9323 Жыл бұрын

I think it feels like a mistake not.having synapse on the broodlord, they took it off the parasite of mortrex too but that's a bit more understandable but the broodlord is a psyker they literally get their power direct from the hive mind they have to be synapse. I would love to say it will be a day 1 faq to correct the mistake but GW will probably never notice and if it gets brought up they will claim it was intensional

@VanguardTactics Жыл бұрын

Mike here! Missed this initially. Agree with the combo. I can only theorise that easily protected synapse characters are being avoided for balance reasons to make Synapse more impactful!

Hi, quick noob to tryanids question. Hyper Adaption for Invasion Fleet detachment. Swarming Instincts for example. When targeting infantry enemies, does Sustain hits trigger automatically when attacking or on a successful hit roll?

@skalgrimfellaxe5796 Жыл бұрын

Incorrect about Carnifexes getting a normal move when shot and taking damage. Its D6 + 2 inches. Which is still good, especially since this doesn't trigger in any movement phase but in your enemies shooting phase. You can end up in engagement range due to this and force the enemy to fight you without getting to charge you.

they said there were no characters that did not have synapse, the Brood lord in not synapse you could use the 9" ability on him. and the perfect biology is yes once per turn but all of those rerolls once per tern not one of them. I use this on my hive tyrant and in an attack sequence it often plays into whether you kill outright or just wound.

@katybatesy74 10 ай бұрын

termagants with spine fists that have twin linked. 2 attacks each using sustained hits unit of 20, 40 attacks re-roll all wound rolls. range not as good as the devourer but it is a pistol so can be shot in combat as well, giving the range it lost to extra hits in melee. I thought they should have mentioned the Hive Tyrants ability to use stratagems a mention. A hive Tyrant, Swarm Lord combo each with tyrant Guard are very strong together walking them around the board where things need to Die.

Hyper aggression and Adrenal surge should help somewhat. Triggering Lethal Hits on 5+ is fairly spicy. Old One Eye + 2 Fexes. It'll be hard but, and it's a big but, get them in to combat they'll do some good damage. Plus you can still shoot into the combat so the Knight ain't safe from numerous Lethal Hit shots etc. Of course the Nids might get blasted off or not. It'll be tough no doubt.

@Yamael Жыл бұрын

Precision isn’t tied to critical hits. It simply states that successful wounds can be allocated to characters in the unit. And the wound roll is against the toughness of the unit, not the character, so a T8 char hiding in a unit of T3 guys has toughness 3 against Precision attacks. Makes one think twice about hiding your neurotyrant in a unit of neurogaunts if your opponent has good access to Precision.

@obsidi2 Жыл бұрын

Yes, but the detachment rule only gives precision on a critical hit, which is what I think they meant. (I think you probably don't attach it to neurogaunts (but have them nearby as they make great targets of his ability to make anything in synapse for a turn).

@VanguardTactics Жыл бұрын

As obsidi2 has said the Precision ability is on Crits for the Nid detachment ability! You are completely right though about the toughness you roll against being the attached unit.

Broodlord is a bad idea to put the free re-roll on. While the charge is important on him you can use a cp for that. He has no ranged attacks, and being in a group of genestealers he is not going to take wounds, so there isn't a lot of times to use the free re-roll. A walking Hive Tyrant is much better, or a Tevirigon.
