Master Ciaphas Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hail! I am thinking that the Forgeworld Tyranids - ie. the Hierophant and the two Hierodules are particularly lacklustre - especially when compared to Imperial & Renegade Titans and Knights...

jbaeza94 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Point for point, yeah, they're better. 4 knights (96pl) offer huge versatility. But dont discount what a hierophant can do Statistically, a hierophant can *almost* delete a knight per turn if it shoots and charges (14.7 blast markers, you need 15 to kill a knight). That's a huge deal. In a 4 paladins with stormspears vs 1, assuming they can always shoot and charge, in a vacuum of course, a hierophant will solo all 4 knights in 4 turns, and have 1w left. This takes into account the half attacks for half wounds on the hphant and the changing number of attacks caused by incendiary icor. 95pl can handle 100pl worth of knights Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356779-tyranids-datasheets-for-apocalypse/#findComment-5337081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tychobi Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Heirophants kinda rock. Check out playontabletops apoc game on youtube. Reiver and Warlord together fail to kill even 1 over two rounds. Command decks count for a lot and a 3+ save on a d12 kinda rocks. Surprised the heck out of me anyway Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356779-tyranids-datasheets-for-apocalypse/#findComment-5355333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaeza94 Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 That was a good video! I think they should have been more aggressive with at least one. They hit just as hard against vehicles in cc, and the flamer would of done good damage vs infantry Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356779-tyranids-datasheets-for-apocalypse/#findComment-5355517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
