I am sure, when Tyranids were released they lost. So it's not all the time. I would bet though, Tau will win. Why? Did you see the list? It's basically a shooty Tau vs an assault Nid force.

You can buy them for just under a grand for Tau and over a grand for Nids.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.

Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

Spoiler:
Tyranids lost 1-3 VP.
But it was a nice scenario with a third party (Deathwatch squad) and actually a good read.

The nid dex was so bad in 5th that not only did it lose its WD battle report they even fudged the rules to give them a boost (added Without Number from previous dex)! Garbage.

Once there was a different outcome when Space Marines battled Orks, but I don't remember well.

How many points was it at each side?

Its like all the recent WD battle reports, points aren't given, and I don't think they were even, as it seemed like the Tau had a lot more than the Nids.

I seriously feel like the Nids didnt even try....it was a good read and cinematic but i feel the nids player botched it with the list build.....i dont want to say on purpose....but he knew full well he was going up against Tau.....come on.....

Tyranids will consume the universe!!! There is no chance for survival!!
.........eventually anyways.........
