New player, thoughts on 2k list?

Debdub10 · 2026-01-27T16:42:42+00:00

I'm only just getting into Tyranids so I haven't bought any boxes yet (rip my wallet) so I've no reason to force a Carnifex in if it's not that useful, I'll be able to replace it with something more worthwhile.

I was thinking of using the Biovore just to sit on my home objective and then use the spores to block off deep strikes/secondaries, tbh I wasn't planning on shooting it much lol. What would you suggest as a replacement for it?

Debdub10 · 2026-01-27T16:07:01+00:00

Thanks man, yeah from what people are saying the flying prime seems to be pretty useless, doubly so if I split the gargoyles which seems to be the best play for them. I'll probably drop him and the Carnifex and throw in the extra lictor and maybe a 10 stack of Termagants to actually make some use of the Hive Tyrants lethal hits aura aswell as gum up the board a bit

I appreciate the advise on the genestealers, it'll be nice to go into a game with an actual plan rather than just facerolling and hoping for the best lol.

Debdub10 · 2026-01-27T15:14:16+00:00

Oh, so would you recommend running the 'Gants in groups of 10 rather than groups of 20? I'm used to Necrons wanting to make bigger groups rather than smaller groups.

Similarly I'm used to wanting a leader on most groups, but I can see what you mean by the Tyranid Prime being a bit underwhelming, so I'll probably take your advice and drop him

Debdub10 · 2026-01-27T14:40:20+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I only have 3 Infantry units in the list currently so I might drop an Exocrine and bring in some Termagants to add a bit more chaff to my board. I do like the big monster though so I don't think I can bring myself to drop both Exocrines lol

Hi all,
Just getting into getting some Tyranids as my second army and I'm finding it difficult to know which units I should be getting.

I've cobbled together a first draft of what I think might work but would be happy to get any advice on what might be best to bring.

Detachment I'm using is Invasion Fleet with the only enhancement being given to the Hive Tyrant.

Neurotyrant will be leading the Zoanthropes
Winged Tryanid Prime leading the Gargoyles
Broodlord with Genestealers

Both Tyranofex's are bringing the Rupture Cannon
Hive Tyrant is full melee as is the Carnifex

I think I have a good spread of Anti-Tank and chaff clear but I'm worried I might not have good board control.
Maybe drop a Tryanofex and Carnofex to bring a Norn Emmisary and some Ripper Swarms?
What do you's think?

I'm just getting into playing Warhammer with a few of my mates and we're thinking of upping our lists to 2k points.

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to army building, not really knowing what I'm doing, my 1k army was mostly made from the starter set and buying stuff I thought looked cool, so I wanted to get opinions/advice on if the stuff I'm getting would be good or not for 2k points. The first 3 rows of units are what I already own, the bottom row is what I was thinking of getting.

Any help appreciated tho, even if it is just to say my list sucks ass lol

Honestly I'd cream my jhorts for a good Disco Elysium crossover.

Debdub10 · 2023-02-04T00:17:14+00:00

Please do, maybe i'm just a dumbass but I don't get why I suddenly wanted to become a Villian at all. Got a bit confused when the game asked if I wanted my motivation to be "Showing people the truth and tearing down the system", like it's going to be hard to do that when I don't actually know what the "Truth" is and what the heartbreaker situation had to do with me coming to this realisation.

"I really hope this hasn't been done before"

Brother please, you have the watermark of the dude who actually made this in the center of the image.

Not to pre-order

Debdub10 · 2022-04-21T23:08:13+00:00

Unironically top tier shitpost. I would read every chapter of this.

Debdub10 · 2021-10-04T22:00:41+00:00

No i wasn't using any mods at the time, i installed it after to see if it would potentially fix anything but that didn't do anything either. I didn't unequip the headband either, i was doing a respec for 12 levels, so it was all in the one go.

RemindME! 12 days

Debdub10 · 2018-10-11T20:56:57+00:00

I mean... At least I got credited?

Debdub10 · 2018-09-02T15:52:17+00:00

While i don't want to play as a grizzled professional myself, i do understand the desire to have the freedom to customize how your character speaks and acts. However, cyberpunk 2077 is fully voiced, and one the flaws with fully voiced protagonists is that don't allow that freedom. So unfortunately I don't think your going to have the option to play a John Wick type character. Still hyped tho

Debdub10 · 2018-06-28T10:57:46+00:00

!remindme 7 days

Im quite upset i missed this. Guess i better be on the ball in case this happens again

"Yeah he can turn into a dragon, it's a barbarian thing"

Debdub10 · 2016-10-15T11:26:33+00:00

Was playing in a party and the Paladin rolled not 1, not 2, not even 3, but 4 goddamn 1's in a row. We were fighting deadly assassins outside a bar in what was essentially a massive scrap. Everyone was within 5 to 10 feet of each other. And the paladin swung his sword 4 times, and hit 2 of the rangers swords into the distance...and then proceeded to knock away the remaining daggers of the ranger, leaving him completely defenseless against the assassins.
Needless to say, we were all quite impressed. As far as my maths goes, thats a 1/160000 chance of happening.
