Omnomnom, fellow great Devourers, I am currently building the rest of my Combat Patrol and Boarding Action Box, and after that, I will need more Minis. As I like quite a lot of minis in the range, I started to look into the detachments the Tyranids have in 10th Edition, to see whether there are any synergies within the Army I got (36 Termagants, 24 Genestealers, 9 Tyranid Warriors, 1 Broodlord, 1 Winged Hive Tyrant). I currently tend to get more Vanguard Organisms (I looove Lictors) and maybe add some Carnifexes in the mix, against Tanks and such. But before doing to I thought I'd ask how the detachments are … reviewed by you, fellow hive minds. I know from the discussions among the Space Wolves and Space Marines, that most detachments there are considered inferior. Is the same true for the tyranids? And … are there any detachments that are "better" than others? Or do you have that any general advice, when choosing from our current set of detachments? Thanks a lot in adavnce and happy devouring, everyone!

I've been working on trying to make three custom detachments for First Founding Chapters. I've run into a block for Iron Hands and Salamanders. I don't know a lot about modern IH lore and it's hampering me from seeing something unique for them that wouldn't be covered by Anvil, Ironstorm, or Firestorm detachments. I know a lot about Salamander lore, but I've got a similar problem in that their in-lore strategies are really good fits for Codex detachments. I've had one idea for each Chapter: Iron Hands ??? Detachment Detachment Rule - Calculated Fury The detachment basically gets a second Oath target, but it's only re-roll 1s to hit. Strats would be on the weaker side, because most of the power is in the detachment rule. Salamanders Zone Mortalis Intervention Force I'd like this detachment to focus on how hardy the Salamanders are, and combined with their sense of self-sacrifice means they're often found on the deadliest battlefields.

My third topic in the space of a few days, I'm really rusty with all things Warhammer apparently. And I haven't actually played CSM before so obviously confused by a lot of things going on. Anyway in my previous threads a lot has been mentioned about "how factions work now" or the ilk. Can someone explain what I can/can't take in a single detachment (Battalion/Spearhead etc) in a Chaos list. For context wanting to start Iron Warriors, wondering how legion rules, mark rules etc. But also there was talk in a threat about somehow making Khorne Bezerkers troops instead of Elites by choosing legion key words right. Additionally can I take (for example) a Spearhead detachment with a Warpsmith as the HQ, but the HS options filled by Renegade Guard gun batteries? Is that legal because of the Chaos key word? I don't have my rule book around to check at the minute, and even when I do I get a little confused, so I thought I'd pass it on to you experts who seem to know what they're talking about. Thanks in advance
