" No book powers, unique among all codices, and access to very average codex powers "
That's not unique. Neither Tau, Necrons, nor Sisters of Battle have psychic powers at all. So stop saying that Nids not having BRB powers is "unique"

Tier-2 because there's a 0-1 restriction on all units from all codices except troops choices. So i could only take 1 trygon, 1 tyrannofex, and 1 brood of biovores in a legal list for example.
Can someone please explain to me the appeal to restrict the game even more than it already is?

Obviously referring to those who can access them at all.
Of course, Orks can't take BRB powers either afaik.

I cancelled my preorder only because I only ever had enough bugs to field the "current" standard build with a few changes here an there. The play style will shift quite a lot and with certain units being removed and ones like the terv not really being viable, I would have to spend a lot of money to rebuild the army. I'm not buying a whole new armies worth of models to stay middle of the road. If I could have bought a few models.. the codex and made a run of it.. I likely would have kept it.. I would be fine banishing the nids to the basement to only be played in home rule games.
tihs is it right here... "buy more models"...if you expected something else then...you just haven't been paying attention

So pointing out something that is factually incorrect is a disingenuous argument? And as was mentioned, Orks don't have access to the BRB powers either, and they do have psykers.
The new nid codex has a ton of problems as is, no need to add incorrect facts to the mix just to increase the pathos.

As far as I know the book was released today/yesterday (depending where you are in the world). So what? Most people still don't have a copy themselves.
"keeping in mind all of this will be revised / may change based upon holding and playing with the total codex"
This line taken from the link provided in the OP indicates that it is not based on a complete copy of the book in hand or otherwise thus leaving much room for error due to incomplete information. So yes, I take it as rumor and hearsay. If it were all strictly factually based, this line would not be there.
And what program do you speak of? Perhaps the one where you download scanned images of copyrighted materials? That would be illegal, what kind of monster would do such a thing?
Seriously though, my copy will be here in a few days and I'm quite patient enough to wait for it. Who knows, I may join the rage party with you when I do. We'll just have to see.

RavenousD has a copy and he confirmed that the codex is more or less the same as was reported earlier. It's a real shame that Tyranids got screwed over.
I don't think the "Oh, all codices are thought to be terrible then are really really good" applies here since Tyranids didn't get much and lost a lot more.

I'm just amazed that the GW design team have such little imagination, if I or any of my friends were asked to design the codex they'd be army wide special rules and kooky abilities coming out the walls! I understand it's to do with balance...but so little changed and the new huge griblies are so dull rules wise.
it's just a shame, I honestly think almost anyone with a basic grasp on what's considered OP and what's not could have made the nids something more than a glorified FAQ

I know there is some good builds in this book, but overall it is a letdown. Especially because I was finally hoping to finally play an all-warrior troop list and at least not be laughed off the board (which I may still be able to because according to this site warriors become "good" only because every other troop choice got worse).
Here's hoping the dataslate(s) provide a band-aid, or rather several band-aids.

Seriously though, the book doesn't look that competitive but I think competitive as it stands right now is dead and we'd be better off having Kill Team tournaments. The book does look fun though.

I'm no hardcore tournament player, not by a long shot, so I'll just take this book and run with it.
I plan on using squads of Stealers led by Broodlords, a Mawloc, Biovores and Dakkafexes, and plenty of Spore Mines shenanigans. Swarmlord auto-passing Look Out Sir onto his Guard will make it easier for him to cross the board unscathed, despite his lack of EW so i'll throw him in there, too. I'll enjoy it regardless of the result, which is what the hobby is all about for me.
ClockworkZion is right, you could actually field a pretty formidable Kill Team with the new codex!

To the guy in here calling us all powergamers for being less then impressed with the dex, yet has whiteknighted the new dex all the way through each new release of information, simply because it has given us a cheaper nidzilla monobuild (you know who you are) you should maybe take a look at how hypocritical and irrelevant your opinion comes across as. Powergaming in its purest form is being happy with this dex and its points reduction of the MC kits with dwindling popularity (oh everyone has their Tervigons / Trygons / Hive Guard glued up? Let's nerf em and gives buffs to Tyrannofex / Mawloc / Tyrant Guard) , simply because you feel that it might give you a stronger competitive monobuild, and that this is a worthy trade to you for the loss of so much of the competitive options and strategies available in the last dex, combined with the addition of none. To put into perspective, this new codex literally has less units in it than the last one!! We had 4 things taken out and only 3 put in. The 4 things we lost were units that either added many strategic options or had unique rules and flavor (mostly both), but the things we gained were a bad Harpy knockoff and a Hive Guard replacement. It's even been revealed that the units weren't taken out because of strategic gameplay, so without care for their own customers these units were removed to get rid of a point of revenue for Chapterhouse that was being created by GW's laziness when it came to making a model for the unit. The worst is the people in here "b-b-b-b-b-but TAU DEX !! ELDAR DEX!!!!" . Yeah the comparison isn't even accurate anymore. We already know what this dex does. It does what the last one does, just worse. The whiners who complained about the Eldar dex had alot of untrod ground to work out, and by release a lot of open mouths have been fed and people had come around. This is almost the exact opposite of whats happened here, we know our dex back to front, and upon release the community has exploded with negative feedback, with people far smarter than the dex-hoppers and Eldar-skeptics saying that this release is terrible. I'll be boycotting this release. It won't be hard to, it's barely even by choice. I don't need any of the new models and there is no way in hell I'm stupid enough to pay $80 for a book that has been rushed to publication, with a ruleset described in its current state by the playtesting team as "keeps getting walked over by every army", but still pushed into print by GW to move some packaged Spacedragon units.

This makes me sad. The only person who will miss out will be you by not playing a great faction.
i have not seen the new book, Yes it's only £20 in the UK which isn't a lot for me, so i will buy it even though i don't play nids. But there will be competitive options and various tactics that can be used to defeat any arms. Peole seem to forget at the heart of the gamneplay is rock, paper scissors. No if Rock get horrendously overpowered i will lose if i am scissors, but not if i take paper!

Fortunately the hobby isn't all about winning for me. Forging a narrative and having some giggles with fluff are far more important in most of my games.

My head exploded that you could think that was an accurate analogy.
As a non-nid player, but one who is an avid fan of new books for the changes and additions they bring, this is pretty disappointing.
Would've loved to see the big guys take on more significant presence with price-hike to boost.
"Attack the hundred gaunts, or the guy leading them that can dish out just as much?"
Instead it seems:
"Kill all the gaunts, or kill the synapse and let them kill themselves. Hmm."
No, it's not unplayable but no one is arguing that. It's not competitive. It will be a struggle to win - almost without exception, and that's no fun for anyone. You should be able to decide between a "fun/fluffy" list where yeah, it's a pain but you enjoy the "cinema" of the battle or appreciate a different take on strategy and your traditional TAC style game.
Instead it's between, "Buy a bunch of models and watch them evaporate because herp or stick with one possible build where with significantly greater strategy and roll of the dice I have about an average chance to win. -Derp."
The weird thing is, Nids are so unique that they had plenty of opportunities.
Can you imagine how much better this could have been with JUST a special rule or two thrown in?
"The Great Devourer"
As Tyranid organisms rain down upon the planets surface, terraforming has already begun at earnest pace. Every round, the Tyranid player may nominate a single piece of terrain or mark a single space of "x" size as having become dangerous terrain. Additionally, enemy troops within 2" begin to suffer from the myriad spores and other microorganisms choking the air and suffer -1T.
"Singular Purpose"
If a Tyranid creature loses synapse connection, they are immediately granted the Rage and Rampage USR and will move / charge the nearest enemy unit.
"Domination"
For each Synapse creature, elect a single unit within its synapse range. This unit gains +1T if their unmodified Toughness is greater than or equal to 5. Units with greater toughness are bestowed eternal warrior. The synapse creature also gains these bonuses.
"Insatiable"
Tyranids units may elect to move an additional d6" in the shooting phase if they choose not to fire any ranged weaponry without the "Assault" characteristic.
Just throwing out ideas.
But seriously, this could have had quite a bit of unique flavor added and .. nadda'.
Pathetic.

We got a copy the same time.
It is overall a nerf, with the loss of the BRB powers the biggest issue, and it's true that much of the 'dex is lazily written, a copy and paste of what went before.
But the picture is much more complex, and there are glimmers of light. I think the people who always liked running non-spam armies will probably be fine, although the lack of decent troops is a real drag.
We didn't believe most of the rumours (what a right load of BS and wishlisting all of them turned out to be), altho' we're still in mourning for the dream that you might have been able to run gargoyles or shrikes as troops, as you can in some biker lists.
FYI, we collected our codex and Crone from Dark Sphere at midnight last night - they reckon the new tyranid stuff has sold really well.
Edit: I note the repeated rumour that termagants kill themselves out of synapse. They lurk, much as before - it's hormagaunts, carnifexes etc that cannibalise each other.

So much doom and gloom by people that are yet to play a match or build a list. This is almost an identical repeat to the Eldar release and all the crying that caused in the first week or two.

Does that mean the photographed pages we saw were fake? What are you saying here, other than failing to address the point I was making? Abandon wrote:"keeping in mind all of this will be revised / may change based upon holding and playing with the total codex" This line taken from the link provided in the OP indicates that it is not based on a complete copy of the book in hand or otherwise thus leaving much room for error due to incomplete information. So yes, I take it as rumor and hearsay. If it were all strictly factually based, this line would not be there. No. They were taken from photos. How hard is it to figure out that we've seen the rules in the book, and had them for days now. Abandon wrote:And what program do you speak of? Perhaps the one where you download scanned images of copyrighted materials? That would be illegal, what kind of monster would do such a thing? Seriously though, my copy will be here in a few days and I'm quite patient enough to wait for it. Who knows, I may join the rage party with you when I do. We'll just have to see. Again, so what? Your claim was that we haven't seen anything yet. I said that we have - actual photos of the book. You seem to be saying that we haven't yet and that we still need to "wait and see" what's in the Codex? We've seen what's in it, in two languages for feth's sake! How much more unambiguous can you get??? What are you playing at? Do you practice being insufferably difficult?
