If i arm them for CC , rending claw + scyth talon . Is it always the best idea to give them wings / leaping?
how are they if i dont ?

If i give them death spitters , should i bother with the +BS? or just let the mass templates
scatter everywhere and it should hit something lol

BS) than in CC. No need for +BS. Roughly half of all deviation rolls will come up 6-8, so direction and chance of a Hit is much more important than 1" less range.

If you want to go CC, use them to assist with forward synapse. Specially useful if you have a lot of hormagaunts or gargoyles. I prefer wings over leaping because that gives me more movement and control of location in the rounds before they enter combat. And if you are cheesy they take a FA-slot, and not an Elite one with wings. So more room for carnifexes. If your army consists mostly of gaunts and nonflanking stealers the warriors will be able to keep up without wings, but they will want leaping to be sure to be able to assault.

I think mathhammer shows that 2x scything is generally better than scyth+rend for CC, but I will not swear on that. Against AV12+ and 2+ saves rending is better, but that's where your monstrous creatures should be. I like lashwhips, mostly because it takes the edge of some types of elite CC troops, and is excellent for hunting melee specialised models that goes all alone. Check out this short thread on the subject.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/667527.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/667527.page GMT What to arm Tyranid warriors with?
K , im arming them with DS.

now for the upgrade should i go with VC or BS?

Not too sure , but warriors are abit hard to increase their VC into anti tank ?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/667615.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/667615.page GMT What to arm Tyranid warriors with? Str. Also always add one with a TL Barbed strangler so you can abuse the "Multiple wounds in complex units" rule, not to mention pinning rocks!



*edit* Don't bother with the VC, warriors should be avoiding tanks, Let your other bugs deal with them, Warriors are an anti-infantry power house!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/667618.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/667618.page GMT What to arm Tyranid warriors with?

I have my Tyranids worked out, I think. 9 Warriors ST/ Rending with Leaping. Or else maybe 5 flying and the 7 Samurai.

But I think the poster was commenting on warriors with 2 x scything talons.


But when you consider that for 6 points more you can get a deathspitter IMO its stupid not to take it.

Over all close combat warriors are a waste of there potential. What would you rather have:

4 Scything talon warriors
12 Melee attacks at str 4
with 8 wounds
or
3 DS warriors
6 melee attacks at str 5
and 3 blasts at str 5 with 6 wounds

Not to mention that you will get nailed something fierce on Comp or sportsmanship score, 1 or two different models and it's ok to use the complex units with multiple wounds rules, a unit of five is a different story.

Am I the only one that likes to equip my tyranids with lashwhips? I find it stupidly useful when fighting lone damagedealers such as greater daemons. With some creative positioning they are even useful against models in a unit. As a rule of thumb: If one enemy model will kill more tyranid warriors with one attack than what a tyranid warrior can kill of that type of model, then a lashwhip is better for your combat resolution than a scything talon. Of course the lashwhips does it job best on tyrant guard.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/668486.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/668486.page GMT What to arm Tyranid warriors with? ST/ RC Leaping Warriors. I am going to have to think about Toxin Sacs or not. Probably yes since they give S5 + D3 against Vehicles. So S7/8, basically.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/672859.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/672859.page GMT What to arm Tyranid warriors with?

Lol yes they are immune. Read the FAQ. They are specifically immune to instant death, which includes, by the language of the Big Book, force weapons. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/673190.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/673190.page GMT What to arm Tyranid warriors with? apoc).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/673590.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/673590.page GMT What to arm Tyranid warriors with?
That said, I have modelled a few cc warriors with leaping and other bits and pieces...my regular opponent is IG and I love using them to get to his lines quick or to take out that troublesome hellhound or command squad. Heck, they can even take a LR! I know genestealers are probably a better buy in this situation, but I just like the fact that they can be customized quite heavily to however you need/want them and have a bit more survivability than your average stealer.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/673596.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/673596.page GMT What to arm Tyranid warriors with? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/673979.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236611/673979.page GMT
