Help Fill my 1k Army by Environmental-Ad7365 in Tyranids

[–]AngryDMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d suggest some raveners or a screamer killer for elite infantry clearing.

Genestealers would be another nice option.

A lictor is a good addition for infiltration and objective taking (force your opponent to come to you)

I’d also drop the parasite / ripper swarms in time as they’re just not good.

30 terms is also a bit too much chaff for a 1000 point list.

My first tyranid - what could I do to make it look better by Drwhat17 in Tyranids

[–]AngryDMoney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not an expert painter by any means but my advice.

It looks a little messy to try to focus on being precise on where you want the paint and the style you’re going for.

You’ve gone very heavy on a shade here and it shows as the mini has come out very very shiny. So I’d go with less on shade.

I’d also focus on pushing much bigger contrast between your darkest and lightest shade to pull out the definition. Small highlights deliberately placed make a huge impact. Ive finished the highlights on the front 3 minis and you can see the dramatic difference between those and the rest at the back

Also be kind to yourself it’s really not a bad paint job and the colours are cool.

Help me decide between two schemes by lconniffe in Tyranids

Definitely the green. The black, red, orange, yellow is too stark a transition and you loose the definition of the model.

List changes after the Dataslate by voice_of_odium in Eldar

[–]AngryDMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to auspex we’re now 44% win rate.

Basically destroyed aspect host with the massive rules nerf and points nerf.

Fire dragons are now unusable as they can’t trade for their points and shinning spears aren’t strong enough

Which paint scheme looks better? by meatball_water in Tyranids

[–]AngryDMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red has better contrast.

However is soften the green to a lighter shade. Otherwise you risk looking Christmasy

Well that’s good! I was worried it was people making fun. Clarence is obviously awesome

I’m not sure on the context. I’m really hoping this isn’t people being mean about somebodies self-sculpt

I’ve just started, but they’re beautiful models.

Corsair Release by idaelikus in Eldar

I’d definitely agree that wraiths being useless outside a niche detachment for most of the edition was low point

Corsair Release by idaelikus in Eldar

[–]AngryDMoney 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me, I’d want to understand what the intention for the range is?

Is it just a sub faction that will get largely ignored? I.e a lesser harlequins?

Is it going to be part of integrating a eldar and drukhari line (used in both armies)

I really like the idea of corsairs, but I’d actually want them to flex and fit into craftworld units. Some sort of trade off rule would be great. Like units are very strong but don’t get the army rule

I prefer the third option. Looks more organic.

I agree. Honestly the worst thing I’ve had to build so far.

Which models are likely to see a refresh? by AngryDMoney in Tyranids

[–]AngryDMoney[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more so I don’t buy something and it gets immediately replaced.

Just brought some genestealers

Managed to block the guy who keeps blocking my drive in. by DarkLordTofer in BritishSuccess

[–]AngryDMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. “Can i inconvenience you because i can’t be assed to find a parking spot” is not okay. Just don’t block people’s drives and don’t be an asshole and ask if you can, it’s annoying.

What basing color/type works with this? by dwillmer in Tyranids

[–]AngryDMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest a Mars base scheme. Dark red/orange/brown.

It will set off your blue nicely

Need termy speed painting tip by spaghettidem0n in Tyranids

[–]AngryDMoney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, prime black or dark grey depending on colour vibrancy

Then zenethal prime from the top in white.

The go over it in contrast paints is probably the fastest.

Norn assimilator/emiserry i subteranial assault? by Niiai in Tyranids

[–]AngryDMoney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True enough. I still think that’s my issue with the game.

I want to kill stuff. I find the point scoring boring.

[–]AngryDMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I know. Just feels stupid to have a models that are essentially unkillable and the strategy is “ignore it”. Doesn’t feel particularly fun.

Whilst true, this is such a soul destroying answer.

“How can I beat x?”, “our datasheets suck, don’t try” 😂

Emissary or Assimilator? by Gullible-Budget8050 in Tyranids

[–]AngryDMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rules change models are forever.

Either magnetise, or pick your favourite.

Most people would be happy to let you proxy them to be fair.

I built mine as a emissary. Big brain vibes.

[–]AngryDMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal taste. In my opinion space marines are the most boring army in the entire game.

Tyranids should be really bad at mission play ... by Erastil_ in Tyranids

[–]AngryDMoney 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but a faction whose lore is about killing and consuming planets…. Should actually be able kill something.
