I was just wondering where should find the rules for the 'nids from forgeworld. I know for a fact that some of the units that they have on there are not in the codex, so I was just wondering where I could find the rules or if somebody could give me the rules that they are using for them.

Their rules are in some of the Imperial Armour books. Not sure which ones, but this will point you in the right direction anyway.

Imperial Armoury 4 and, from memory, IA:Apocalypse 1 and 2

Both Apoc. books have detailed page about various stuffs, also Imperial Volume 4: The Anaphalion Project has a plethora of information. I cannot promote alternative methods of getting these books besides purchasing, but if you're only looking for quick reference if you search hard enough you can find stuff. Hope that, in its own vague way, helps.

Go to the INATFAQ page at the top of any page on Dakka.

Download the INATFAQ appendix.

The last few pages in the appendix is a complete list of Imperial Armor/Apocalypse units and what book the most current rules for them are found.


FYI: The Tyranid rules originally appeared in Imperial Armor Volume 4, but all of these have since been updated in either: Apocalypse (core book) and Imperial Armor Apocalypse 1 & 2. However it depends on what unit you're looking for as to which book you need to look at (which is why its helpful to reference the INAT appendix list).

Either the core apocalypse rules, or Imperial Armour Apocalypse Book 1. The only Tyranid unit that appeared in Imperial Armour 4 that was not overridden at a later stage was the brood nest. Apoc has the rules for the bio-titan and the barbed heirodule. All other rules are in Imperial Armour Apoc (Book 1)

If you want rules for the Tyranid terrain it is in Imperial Armour 4.

There were no Tyranid entries in Imperial Armour Book 2.

If you are after the Myetic Spores then check the FAQ for Imperial Armour Apoc (book 1) as they made a goof in the rules for printing.
