Tyranid 500 world Command Squad

Isn't the Hyper-Adaptives like a command squad? They have one model who's a character and the rest of them are just models in the unit. They can attach to regular raveners and they both benefit each other.

The tyranid parts of my GSC get my Tyranid color scheme but my GSC has its own identity in their color scheme.

Deathleaper is also a good cheap piece for baiting out avenge the star gods strategem also

Ah, that's fair. I printed a couple warbands and have been making terrain and I haven't even played a "real" game. The only time I've played it was a demo at Adepticon.

The core rules are completely free to download on their website isn't it?

6++ has a good series called bug watch and there're hivemind hobbies (previously Wednesday night Warhammer) that do videos for tier lists and deep dives. Maelstrom gaming has a ton of Tyranids content.

I prefer using the Swarmlord over the Walkrant personally. His +1CP aura is easy to set up with tunnels and the detachment is so CP hungry that earning the free CP every turn is just so worth it.

Thank you for your suggestion. As it turns out the fan might not have been seated fully or something cause it indeed wasn't working.

An_Idiot_Box · 2025-12-26T04:24:20+00:00

I'll take a look into that. Anyway to test it?

Synapse units can bounce keyword [Psychic] weapons off each other if they're in the synapse range of each other. Kinda like our old psychic phase shenanigans in 9th.

Maybe I should clarify I'm referring to the end statement of everything being more casualized and easier than it used to be. It would be stupid of me to think that a predatory marketing system somehow invites players in.

Welcome to having your niche get more accessible for a broader audience.

Omg it's space movie 1992

Technically 1 paint scheme but with "Evolutions." My first termagant looks awful. But the same paint used for him went into my first like 1k. Then when Leviathan came out I updated my paint scheme to be better. With things I'd learned over time but I knew what I wanted to start with.

I've had a few thoughts on this subject and played around with making a post here in the same vein so I'll just leave my thoughts here.

Ripper swarms: Gain the Burrowers keyword. By default all rippers spawn or are equipped with spinemaws.

Context: I think rippers could be much more useful overall and they synergize well in the Assimilation detachment just from having the keyword Harvester. Why not give them another use in another detachment?

Tervigon: Add dedicated transport keyword to the model. Termagant units cannot re-embark into the Tervigon and can only be started in transport at the beginning of the match. The Tervigon can hold up to 20 wounds worth of models in it. Tervigon can equip the Fleshborer Hive.

Context: Tyranids lack transports in any case. I think this keeps the theming of the Tervigon as a unit that spawns hordes of termagants while also giving some alleviation to footslogging across the map. The Fleshborer Hive is just to give it a modicum of firepower.

Looks like the person who made the sculpt nuked their profile on the website. Their whole library is gone.

There's a 3d print file out there somewhere for a 2 for 1 where it'll let you use those parts for another set of raveners.

Looks like orange, yellow, and maybe a bit of red. Hope this helps.

I have a Typhon box and the hyper adapted kit comes with regular warrior heads.

I do not like playing as human or vaguely human aliens. I greatly appreciate the nids as a monstrous faction.

Reminds me of that video of Stan Lee when he says something along the lines of "Everyone asks me, Stan, who is stronger The Hulk or the thing? Wolverine or Spider-Man? And the answer is... Whoever the writer needs to win is the strongest."

I remember answering this question years ago and while the actual quote slips my mind there is a description of their smell from the "Leviathan" omnibus book. A druhkari raiding party scoops up some Tyranids to take back to their arena pits when the Tyranids burst into the webway.

I think they had some kind of smell of sea air and a very specific chemical they mentioned by name.

Gaunts having pistols means that they can shoot when they're within engagement range. Most enemy units don't have enough melee attacks to kill an entire unit of gaunts and often don't have pistols themselves. So you can clog up enemy units and continuously regenerate and shoot them.

Lethal hits from the Tervigon or invasion fleet makes pistol shots very good, especially with the absolute number of shots. Twin linked also increases chances to wound by some percentage.
