oreaper84 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 nothing........ they lost a lot of options including spore pods and generally got hit over the head by the nerf bat. If they are across the table from you its just business as usual minus biomancy shinanagans Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285507-what-to-do-about-the-new-tyranids/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 You mean "same as before" right? The Holy Trinity is the core of our army and there isn't much it can't deal with handily. From there it's a matter of adapting to your opponent's blasphemous tricks and heretical plans but if you really want you could argue that's mostly just changing the way you apply the Trinity Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285507-what-to-do-about-the-new-tyranids/#findComment-3566959 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Strength 8 vector strikes will challenge your Vendettas or strike fighters if you have been using them. Mawlok (sp?) got a much needed boost so you will see these on the table again. I know a few people that will be happy the DoM is gone but honestly, it was never a problem. It was kind of cheesy but more in a rules that don't fit the game setting sort of way. Sure it could have 10 wouds but one hit from any S6 weapon was instant death. Like WarriorFish said, business as usual as far as how we play against them.

Inquisitor Fox Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I always figure we go back to Adepta Sororitas Tactic #1. "When in doubt, set it on fire." Which isn't quite the entirety of Adepta Sororitas Tactics, but it's a good summation ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285507-what-to-do-about-the-new-tyranids/#findComment-3567234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellios Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Exorcist (It is a verb, I swear!) the medium nids... Are you T4? Instant Death... Too bad... Exorcist the big nids... Have you killed all of the synapse yet? Hurrah. Bolters and flame the little nids... or any medium or big nids that get too close... Flying nids? Quads guns will make them cry if you have one. I'm just going to wait and see what nid players start running.

Naminé Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Personally I'm glad the Biomancy dren has been removed... it was pretty brainless and annoying. I don't think nids are as bad as everyone says (though I think the same about Chaos Marines so what do I know?) It's just going to mean that only the hardcore people will play them. I'm sure there are many ways they will still be effective though; Deathleaper in particular looks to be good for some tricks. Personally I think Raveners have a lot of potential too. Also give it a few months and the 'Killer combos' will surface.

WarriorFish Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Silence, Naminé! The GREAT WILL of the Internet has spoken! You must conform to their decree or be forever banished to the Plains of GW Apologists! For the record I'm not saying people shouldn't complain when GW does something bad/dumb; I'm saying they shouldn't wail and gnash their teeth like degenerates. Wait and see how the dust settles, it's not right rocket science right? Anyone remember the doom prophesied about the Leman Russ Punisher..?

Fibonacci Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 There may some new things happen with hive fleet supliments, but I doubt it will change how we play against them They have a straight forward codex and so do we.

WarriorFish Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Maybe this opens up a new route to victory? If your nid opponent is in the... "loud" camp shall we say of the player base then it will be a simple matter to send him off on a GW hating tangent so he makes lots of errors, letting you sweep to victory with ease Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285507-what-to-do-about-the-new-tyranids/#findComment-3568661 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onisuzume Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Also give it a few months and the 'Killer combos' will surface.And the killer counter already exists; triple helldrake. 'nids would have to tailor their lists to counter that, or any serious air pressence.

Nids have more air presence then some armies I can think of, and there's nothing stopping them taking a firestorm redoubt to deal with that. Actually one of those would be good for any nid player to take, so no you don't need to tailor.
