Sawtooth Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I'm considering bringing a detachment of Tyranids alongside my slowly breeding Genestealer Cult. What do you think Tyranids offer that fills needed roles missing from a pure Cult army, if anything? It's more a thematic choice at this moment but I am intrigued by the possible ally choice.

Arkhanist Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The main issues with pure GSC in 8th so far (apart from lack of codex and price, obvs) has been - clearing out screens so your cult ambush units can target the expensive stuff - anti-tank/knight (mining lasers only go so far) - not having the squishy units in your deployment zone shot to pieces 1st turn. The new deployment rules should help mitigate the 3rd point, but there's still an advantage to having some more robust units in your deployment zone than neophytes! I don't know 'nids well enough to recommend specific things to fill those gaps though.
