Product Information

Each Tyranid creature together forms the Hive Fleet, which is controlled and directed by a single Hive Mind. This is a nice little benefit for horde units, such as Hormagants, as they can get some extra attacking models if they pile in correctly.

Because I built the flying version of the Hive Tyrant, I still had both the Tyrant legs and non-flying lower body/tail available. Against psyker-heavy armies this can potentially be very, very strong if dropped in right location, especially considering Shadow in the Warp and the Psychic Augmentation Synaptic Imperative can take tests to a -2 modifier. 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. It’s great fun but considering the other lackluster aspects of the Hive Fleet, does it make a competitive army? 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.

Bio-artefact Relic: Nullnode – One enemy unit within Synaptic Link range cannot re-roll hits, wounds, or psychic tests until the start of your next turn.

They are believed to have consumed a thousand galaxies and are responsible for the destruction of millions of intelligent species. This is a significant change and you’ll need to be mindful of it when selecting and defending your Warlord. A seemingly numberless horde of ghastly super-predators, adapted bio-weapons optimised for the kill – the Tyranids emerge from the cold darkness of the intergalactic void. HFA: Tunnel Networks – Against enemy ranged attacks, non- MONSTER units 12″+ away and MONSTER units 18″+ away are treated having the benefits of Dense cover. Most of the general faction abilities and concepts were covered thoroughly in our codex review, but we’re going to briefly review them here as well to make sure there’s no doubts.These models can be placed in Engagement Range of an enemy unit only if the unit is already in Engagement Range of that unit. If they blow them all in one or two turns, you’re not going to getting as many, but the constant CP-drip in Nephilim helps encourage more moderated spend.

AP-5 Boneswords on Hive Tyrants guarantee the push through on Armour of Contempt Marines, and raising the AP of small bugs a little can help a lot with getting your opponent off of good saves.Yes, Hydra is has nice options, but those nice options apply to arguably the weakest aspect of the Tyranid. In this case, the sprue for the Hive Tyrant allows you to build either the Hive Tyrant or Swarmlord. This is another imperative that’s a bit more helpful for hordes, but as canny players know consolidation moves in the fight phase can be critical to success, even with single large MONSTER models. While the rules state that a Hive Fleet can elect to change their default Adaptive trait for one of certain types ( again, neat), Tyranid armies participating in Matched Play–thus, all competitive play–must select whether they choose a different Adaptive trait during army construction and not prior to the start of the game. Wound markers: Many 40K models have multiple wounds, and you need a reliable way to track how many are left.

Not a terrible pick for a non-Carnifex MONSTER -heavy list, but frankly that’s not going to be a terribly common concern and picking traits that only buff a subsection of your list isn’t recommended. The concept is nice, but in execution it is highly situational and pales when compared to the other general relics available. Firstly, horde armies are quite expensive and take a good amount of hobbying time to assemble/paint. Note that the Exocrine’s Symbiotic Targeting rule already ignores the benefits of cover if it doesn’t move more than half its Movement characteristic, so this is most useful when you have to make a major shift and move the whole 5-8″. An easy power to get off that provides a significant benefit to your offensive plays, mitigating for unlucky rolls against a prime target.They’re also a huge investment in your time and money, because there are so many models available, and they’re so cheap to the roster. Most recently, the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 kicked off the Fourth Tyrannic War, and the first salvoes of that conflict took shape in Leviathan by Darius Hinks. 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. Depending on the matchup, your Warlord is likely going to end what its targeting and if you’re charging it into multiple units to inflict chip damage they’re likely not long for this world.
