http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/65.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net WH40K after really getting into it in 8th edition, and I love my tyranids with a passion, I have a custom paint color for them, I'll spend tons of money to get the models I need, etc. I've only been playing for about a month, so I don't really have enough experience to make a good army, but then again, there's another reason I came here! I'm looking forward to being a part of the community, and being able to help or take help when needed!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9569397.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9569397.page GMT I think I finally passed the threshold of being a new player? So I guess I'm more of an acolyte now of this weird cult?
Either way welcome!
You say you play Tyranids? What kinds of Tyranids do you play?
I have a fair amount of tyranids and mine are SUPER shooty, like 24 Termagants all with Devourers. That is a LOT of shots in one round heh.
But I digress. I'm an odd duck, no melee except on one Carnifex.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9569404.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9569404.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9569414.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9569414.page GMT I'm actually taking a break from Tyranids to focus on Death Guard at the moment, but when I have at least 3000 points worth of Death Guard I'm probably going back to Nids
(Tyranids were more a hobby than a serious thing, considering the only synapse creature I have is my Flyrant)
Exocrine and Warriors are on the to buy list.

You say you lose to your friend? What style of games are you playing? Like traditional matches or just skirmishes to see who lives longest?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9569431.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9569431.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9569954.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9569954.page GMT
Now that I think about it? Traditional games with Tyranids would be a bit tough if you are going against someone who knows how to deal with them (Meaning take out the synapse creature and lead you away from high priority objectives.)

Have you considered maybe switching it up a bit and trying the tried and true method of Gene Stealer spam across the board?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9570189.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9570189.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9570246.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9570246.page GMT
And more or less.
Genestealers don't have instinct rules so they can exist on their own, and if you have a group of 10 or more in a squad they all get 4 attacks each on a 3+ weapon skill.
They have eight inch movement speed and can also advance AND charge in the same turn with no negatives.

Broodlords allow Genestealers to reroll to hits of 1 and well at 12 points per Genestealer they may be a bit pricey but I have seen some pretty intense cancer using them before (Also they have a 5+ armour save and 5+ invuln)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9570325.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9570325.page GMT AP-4 attacks, and they are assault d3. So that's 15 attacks, that auto hit, are S10, and only invul/catalyst against them. Also, for 1000 points, I don't quite know if I can field a battalion detachment of them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9570376.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9570376.page GMT Yeah, I say that is a pretty rough go at 'er, see I personally hate Eldar for that exact reason, they have some units that are a bit broken to be honest.
Also I just checked out the D Scythes (Thank you battlescribe) the range seems to be a bit.. Short but then again it is a flame thrower thing.
I would say play the range game with them, but well, tyranids.

I wish you luck.
Wraith Guard seem basically like Anti-tyranids with the close range-y-ness.
The ability to clear things in masses with the flame thrower defeats swarms, so maybe go with the tried and true method of a Nid-zilla army?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9570408.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9570408.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9570411.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9570411.page GMT MCs. I guess I could give my termagants deathspitters though...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9570546.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9570546.page GMT

I don't condone tailoring, but it can't hurt to see what your local meta is either.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9579052.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9579052.page GMT lol]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9581374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/737303/9581374.page GMT
