dothac83 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Has anyone had a chance to look over the new codex for Tyranids, and if you have how much of a threat do they possess to the Sons of Russ now?

The Rose Princes Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 playing both armies, nothing new that specifically affects Space Wolves: Carnifex base I is 2 now, so Jaws now is 2/3 kill rather than 5/6 kill.Shadow in the Warp is -3 Leadership for all things on psykers within 12" rather than 3d6 psychic tests only. With the horde mentality, i actually got enough hormagaunts around Canius to actually up his base attack for once, up to 7 (wish i could have given him Saga of the Warrior Born that game). Mawloc spam is going to be a thing now, so watch your spacings between your troops. New data slate is nothing to worry about, just a way to get more troops into the field and/or character hunting Lictors/Deathleaper all over the place.

Oz of the North Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 The venomothropes are annoying so bring lots of flamers or rune priest and hopefully get ignore cover psychic ability and attach to long fangs Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286059-bugs-bugs-new-tyranid-codex/#findComment-3578493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderhawk3015 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Aside from Mawloc spam I've not seen anything that is much of a concern. If anything its gotten a bit better with the -ld instead of 3d6 and no longer having access to biomancy. Most of the tyranid players around me are doing the b&m about how they got nerfed because they don't have any metabreaking combos anymore and are either going to 3 hellturkey chaos or taudar.
