About this deal

This guide will help steer you towards the best starter kits as well as providing a simple glossary (further down) of the people, parts, and basic rules of any Warhammer tabletop experience. The starter sets themselves often come with bonus items, so it's worth considering those before making your final choice. Why play them: Because you like winning. Space Marines are the darling children of Games Workshop, so they always get the most updates, the newest models, the best rules, and the biggest codices. The Stratagem Synaptic Legacy allows you to access/use a Synaptic Imperative from a destroyed unit that has not yet been used during the game Relentless Ferocity (HIVE TYRANT) The Leviathan psychic power Hive Nexus allows a single CORE unit access to a different Synaptic Imperative for the turn

Overrun (1CP) – Select one unit at the end of the Fight phase that made a charge this turn. If that unit is no longer in Engagement Range with enemy units that unit can make a Normal Move instead of a consolidation move. Great for potentially escaping danger or snagging cover/an objective. This stratagem is key to one of the most powerful units in the codex, allowing you to constantly deliver and redeliver a Winged Hive Tyrant in and out without risking it, and proper management of this stratagem will win you more games than any other. S The Reaper of Obliterax – So long as the bearer is a model equipped with bonesword or monstrous bonesword, each time the model successfully wounds a target ( regardless of whether it makes a save against that wound roll) the target suffers 1 mortal wound. Enemy models cannot use any rules to ignore the wounds it loses. An offensive powerhouse in the hands of a HIVE TYRANT , pushing mortals into tougher targets and bypassing feel no pain rolls. This relic is a reasonable candidate for best in the Game and allows Tyranids to deal massive non-interactable damage even when the target rolls high on saves. SLarge monsters comprise some of the most striking units in the army. Who doesn’t love a towering army of terrifying living battering rams? The Carnifex and the building-sized psychic powerhouse of the Norn Emissary smash through defensive lines, while giant gun-beasts such as the Tyrannofex obliterate enemy armour from a distance.

These units can be selected to be held in reserve, and can instead be setup outside of 9″ of enemy units in during the Reinforcement step of the Movement phase. This is the traditional “deep strike” mechanic. Synaptic Link Psychic Power: Hive Nexus (WC 7) – Allows one CORE unit to benefit from an inactive Synaptic Imperative . This took a bit of a nerf, as it was being abused by Maleceptors, but it is still a really damn good power to have on hand. There are a number of Synaptic Imperatives that are useful at any given time, and being capable of doling them out as-needed ( without a reuse limit) is very strong. Indefinitely 5++ Tyranid Warriors, anyone? A If all models in a detachment ( excluding HIVE TENDRIL LIVING ARTILLERY and UNALIGNED ) share the same HIVE FLEET keyword, the units in the detachment gain the Hive Fleet adaptation associated with that Hive Fleet ( custom Hive Fleets being an obvious exception). Hyper-Adaptations Why play them: With certain Aeldari units aimed at the correct targets, your opponents will drown in their own tears. It takes skill and grace to field them, but it’s immensely rewarding planning a well-laid trap.The short version is you pretty much can’t go wrong with a Winged Hive Tyrant competitively. The usual competitive build is going to have Adrenal Glands and monstrous bonesword, with or without the Reaper upgrade ( and it should be with ). Hive Tyrant Dermic Symbiosis – The model has a 4+ invulnerable. Very simple but it cannot be overstated how good this is on larger MONSTER models that don’t have an invulnerable save to start with. A

Ripper Swarms have negligible offensive power, very little survivability, and no objective control, but they have two useful abilities. Their ability to Deep Strike allows them to pop up almost anywhere on the table, whilethe unique Aura Ability ‘Chitinous Horrors’ halves the Objective Control value of enemies within engagement range. They’re a useful nuisance that allows other units to steal objectives from your opponents. Adaptive trait – Units making an Advance that do not use Opportunistic Advance or Bounding Advance Stratagems replace their normal Advance roll with 3+d3″. Improved reliability for unit movement is a solid idea, but considering some of the other traits improving the average Advance from 3.5″ to 5″ may not be critical to your success. B- Naturalised Camouflage – Any time a unit is receiving the benefits of cover, add 1 to any armour saving throw. This is a neat survivability bump, as it doesn’t specify Light Cover only, so Dense also grants the bonus. Obviously you can’t be in cover all the time and its only useful for INFANTRY , BEAST , and SWARM units, so not helpful for a MONSTER -heavy list. B- The Tyranidswere drawn to our galaxyby the Horus Heresy, despite having no interest in the eternal war between mankind and Chaos. During Horus’ rebellion, the Pharos device was found – a beacon that allowed Ultramarine ships, among others, to sail the tides of the immaterium during a period of intense warp storms.Warlord Trait: Insidious Threat – One unit within Synaptic Link range of the bearer can ignore the benefits of cover. Another situational capability for the Hive Fleet, but potentially very helpful in digging out some of the tougher units that can rely on cover for added bonuses. Worth the CP? Probably not. C- For a horde army, this is just a fabulous boon for getting better board coverage and claiming objectives early. That said, a horde army is likely the only times you’re going to see a Tervigon on the table, as it is intrinsically tied to Termagants in large numbers. Other lists are certainly going to find it helpful, but you’ve got a ton of your list tied up in a Tervigon without supporting bugs and what is it doing for you. A for horde lists, C+ for non-horde Psychic Augmentation (NEUROTHROPE)

Why play them: You've got a fascination with the biologically odd, or are a big fan of H.R. Giger's artwork. But seriously, if you want to lead an army that will literally (during the game) instil terror into your enemies and use a plethora of weird and wonderful alien technology, but can also rip the face off someone in hand-to-hand combat, the Tyranids are for you. Catalyst (WC 6) – One friendly unit within Synaptic Link range gains 5+ feel no pain until the start of the next Psychic phase. If the unit is TITANIC , it’s a 6 instead. Basic and powerful, Catalyst continues to be a mainstay of the Tyranid powers. A Death and destruction reign among the stars as man is caught in an endless struggle for survival, spent for the whims of madmen and sacrificed for the amusement of unknowable gods. But beyond these stars, a greater threat yet lurks – a force of insatiable hunger and unspeakable violence, bent on nothing but the total consumption of all organic matter.This multi-part plastic kit is a great starting point for a tyranid force or to bolster an existing army. The set contains 1 Broodlord, 8 Genestealers and 1 Trygon/Mawloc. Synaptic Tendrils – In your Command phase, if your WARLORD has one of the following abilities it can use it twice: Alpha Warrior , Bio-impulses , Brood Pregenitor , Vicious Insight , Warp Siphon , Will of the Hive Mind . Doubling up on some of the better abilities can be very useful and the big winner here is a Neurothrope, where two Warp Siphon ‘d units can much more reliably succeed in their Psychic Powers and inflict a “super” Smite .
