<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Is the Tyranid part of Deathstorm worth buying the entire starter box?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Is the Tyranid part of Deathstorm worth buying the entire starter box? GW happens to have a few Deathstorm boxes left, and I was wondering if the Tyranids included in the box is worth the entire box as the BAs aren't worth that much on the market right now.

Tyranids included in Deathstorm:
1 Broodlord
8 Genestealers
3 Tyranid Warriors
1 Carnifex

Monetarily, the above Tyranids are worth more than the MSRP of the Deathstorm box by themselves. But, I didn't know if they were worth it. I could use the Warriors and probably the Carnifex, but I'm not sure how good the Genestealers and Broodlord would be.

Thanks in advance

Honestly, Broodlords and Genestealers are fun, but really only good in large groups, and even then are poor compared to the cheaper Hormagaunts. Genestealers die very, VERY quickly without cover or FNP. Even Bolters negate your armor.

Again, they're a cool unit, and if you can throw Infiltrate/Scout on them, you can mess around with Outflank or Infiltrate and Turn 2 Assaults, but still, they're rather overpriced.

TL;DR: Try and get the Nidz cheaper on eBay. Feel free to use the Genestealers, but know they are overpriced and die without cover quickly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665347/8154494.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665347/8154494.page GMT Is the Tyranid part of Deathstorm worth buying the entire starter box?

Do you play Tyranids?

If so, yeah. It's a good buy. The rules for the Cryptus stuff are pretty nice--and each of them were basically made to be "new" units for a Tyranid player to add in to their army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665347/8154505.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/665347/8154505.page GMT Is the Tyranid part of Deathstorm worth buying the entire starter box?
From those boxes, I have:
1 Tervigon
1 Flying Hive Tyrant
1 Carnifex
3 Tyranid Warriors
60 Termagants
40 Hormagaunts
10 Gargoyles
7 Ripper Swarms

So, I was considering adding on to it with some formations that call for Genestealers and a Broodlord.
