Yup, needing to be 8" vs 20" away isn't a big deal.

Rick Priestley said it best:
Bryan always said that if the studio ever had to mix with the manufacturing and sales part of the business it would destroy the studio. And I have to say – he wasn’t wrong there! The modern studio isn’t a studio in the same way; it isn’t a collection of artists and creatives sharing ideas and driving each other on. It’s become the promotions department of a toy company – things move on!

Normally I don't care when my book arrives; I pick it up on the Monday. This time though I'm going to be looking tonight and tomorrow to see if it's arrived.

Sounds like I'm possibly done with 40k outside of painting stuff until 7th edition. A shame, because I was quite prepared to blow more money on my bugs.

While this does not affect me much since I was only gonna buy Nids for the models, I fully sympathize with all my fellow nid players.
Our only hope is that the datasheets/supplements rectify some of this stupidity.

I have to admit, it's the same for me. I really love making lists. It's been so long since I've really done it. I need to work that "muscle" (so to speak) out again, and if I have to do with with a super-nerfed Hive Fleet, then so do it. bodazoka wrote:What were some of the things people were expecting for so much negativity?
Lictors to be viable for the first time in 10 years. Genestealers that can make it into combat (granted that's more a general 6th Ed problem, but it could've been dealt with inside this Codex). Warriors that are worth taking. Psychic powers worth a damn. The list goes on and on.

Something better that the current dex, which tbh isn't something hard to do. But GW shows again that their incompetence knows no limits.

Not being made worse than our previous codex which even GW studio members aknowledged had a lot of problems? The fact they knew it was bad, and made it worse shows either they a. don't know what they're doing, or b. did it deliberately. Considering they work for a company that likes money and there's no financial reason to torpedo your own products sales with a bad army book, so I'm going with option a.

Some things could help. Shadow extending up to Synapse range would already be a good start. It'd also be easy to fix the tail weapon issue. Fixing the Mawloc tunneling rule would only require a paragraph, and if well done, it'd compensate for losing the spore pods.

There is no hope, Sadly I was hoping this codex was going to be good and good at what Tyranids are supposed to do best and that's CC. This does not give me hope for my BA army getting a good CC codex.
It appears on its surface that this codex is going to have one mono build of a good amount of FMC , a CD knock off lol.

Don't remind me! As you can tell from my name, BA are my #1 army.
Though to be fair, with the current C: SM points costs, they'll at least be viable even if their CC stays the same or gets worse (and really, I do not see how it can get worse right seeing as how 6e was essentially "Lets take everything that makes BA good an nerf it!"

This is going what I'm going to tell to anyone that complains about Blizzard terrible writing skills (which are indeed TERRIBLE).
"Guys, in the gaming world there is 2 kinds of companies, the one that can't write to save its own life, but actually knows what it is doing; and GW; what do you prefer?".
