I have a friend who insists that they're over powered. I personally only played them once but they do seem uber.

Nids are hardly over powered.
It all depends on how the nid player fields an army, and what you have to go against it.

just send them against a space marine force with 2 terminator command squads a ten man assault terminator squad and 2 dreads and see how hard they are, they crack like ice under a thunder-hammer.

You may use anything I post, just remember to give me credit if used somewhere else. |

If they match up well then they are, but then again so is every army if they match up well. There is one aspect I hate about them, WITHOUT NUMBER RUINED MY LIFE!!!!!!

Nah they aren't OP ever since the rending nerf nids have actually be rather weak due to high cost for weak units etc. Even Nidzilla not all that threatening anymore with things like Jaws of the World Wolf. They also have weak anti mech making it almost impossible to deal with most armies today.

Not yet they aren't over-powered...
Good thing I've been thinking about starting Tyranids. The new 'dex will make my descision a whole lot easier.

What do we know about the changes to nids? I have heard very little.

How so? I love killpoint farming! I was actually able to camp a 'Nid deployment zone with a bunch of blood claws early in 5th ed. It wasn't pretty.
Long and the short of it is no, Tyranids aren't overpowered, cheesy, or anything of the sort. Stealershock/Nidzilla is still a bit of a pain if you're not mechanized or fielding enough heavy weaponry though.
