Recently Read an article suggesting giving units multiple roles, so does anyone have any suggestions as to what unit and upgrades would be good against transports, decently armoured tanks and dreadnoughts (i always end up in combat with a dreadnought where i cannot do any harm )

Also to clarify, I hear things like a unit of gargoyles with AG or whatnot, how does that work? ive only ever taken the rending devils into those situations.

Thanks guys]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4318694.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4318694.page GMT Tyranids - Transports, tanks and Walkers. AV 10-12, Zoanthrope for 13-14. So if you know your opponent won't be taking any AV13+ vehicles, stick with the cheaper Hive Guard. Against walkers Carnifex and Trygons, even Hive tyrants in a pinch are the way to go. They'll chew them up while usually being able to survive anything they dish out at them (unless its a BA dread with Blood Talons). ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4326940.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4326940.page GMT Tyranids - Transports, tanks and Walkers.

Damn, in which case you'll probably want to bring use hive guard against to pop them. Remember that they have None Can Stay My Wrath which ignores shaken and stunned results, on the plus side if you can get a weapon destroyed result you're all set because they Blood Talon special rules only works with two...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4327101.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4327101.page GMT Tyranids - Transports, tanks and Walkers. Same with a winged hive tyrant with 2x scything talons.

if you're playing an objective game, you can take small units of termagants spawned by tervigons and bubblewrap the dread.
if the dread moves across the board two turns, and spends two or three turns fighting two 6-8 man termagant squads off to the side of the main action, you've effectively "killed" the dread by making it late in turn five before it could do any real damage. 70 points of free gants is a hilariously awesome way to tie up his expensive slashy dread.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4332552.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4332552.page GMT Tyranids - Transports, tanks and Walkers. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4335760.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4335760.page GMT Tyranids - Transports, tanks and Walkers. Tervigon spawns before moving, but you place the gants within 6", then they can move 6", shoot and assault. You can assault a tank, surround it, and then when some other zoanthrope/hiveguard/mc blows the tank up, its contents cannot disembark. So 10 termagants and a trygon assault a landraider with terminators and a HQ character. The trygon takes out the tank, and the gants surrounding the front and sides of the landraider kill the 450ish points inside. You can also run the termagants if you're in short range and blow up the tank with shooting. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4335998.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4335998.page GMT Tyranids - Transports, tanks and Walkers. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4343312.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4343312.page GMT Tyranids - Transports, tanks and Walkers. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4383836.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4383836.page GMT Tyranids - Transports, tanks and Walkers. However, wont most of the termies die from the explosion?

Does termigants with AG work?! transports i guess, but i struggle more with AV11 and dreads.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4393174.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4393174.page GMT Tyranids - Transports, tanks and Walkers.
Otherwise, everything said here is fairly standard ways of dealing with av10-12. I don't like podding zoeys, they're too suicidal and don't give you the synapse benefit so much.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4393566.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4393566.page GMT Tyranids - Transports, tanks and Walkers. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4393586.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4393586.page GMT Tyranids - Transports, tanks and Walkers. FC and poison to the gants. To relate this to your original post, the gargs are also 2 points more when you buy adrenal glands. They also don't score. They fill a different niche in the army than termagants imo, albeit a very similar one.

Never, ever take carnifexes for any reason. They are chaos spawn level bad for their points. Tfexes and Trygons are ALWAYS better. Carnifexes do not have fleet so they cannot vehicles in melee, their only gun option that does not suck can only pop light transports. They just flat out suck for their points.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4396434.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4396434.page GMT Tyranids - Transports, tanks and Walkers. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4396946.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451447/4396946.page GMT
