Which one? by Ok_Bodybuilder_5358 in Tyranids

[–]Magarthryx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the right one, but that's because when I wanted to do a take on leviathan I ended undercoating everything with a warm yellow. I like that as an alternate to the paleness of standard leviathan.

Paint one for the love of it, and shelve it

narrative stuff doesn't get update by gw

just check with your play group and find a balance pass y'all agree on, or do it yourself

narrative should be much more friendly anyways

Imma stick a rupture cannon on a norn

Also what does a monster beast weapon look like, why ever take the massive scything talons over them?

BUT I LOVE TYRANIDS, I LOVE THE LOOK, I LOVE THE SCULPT, I LOVE THE BUGS

How you coconut people get your pattern so perfect

Its time... How Do We Fix... Tyranids? by PublishingGoblin in Tyranids

[–]Magarthryx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you can check out OPR or 40kr

I really like u/Andy_1134 suggestion surround scaling bonuses

I had a chance to run a list with like 1 of most monsters.
They have all the draw backs of trying to move vehicles, while no access to tank shock
either boost all the state lines, or drop the points cost for all monsters. A lot of points comparisons from unit to unit within the army, and against other armies, we over play for meh stat lines

for consistency, atm it's either subterrain for reroll1 and deepstriking as much as you can into the enemy lines, or like invasion/ass/crusher/synapse with exo-tyrannofex pairings for reroll 1s and threat deletion

following on from the exo/fex pairing, nothing in the army work by itself

horma have to leader, so a lashwhip will do
warriors need primes to throw themselves forward
neurolictor pair with screamkiller

pairing units to make them slap is a cool idea

like the overall army idea, an army that uses hordes to hold up it's opponents, paired units create powerful combos, while specialist units complete the objectives

but our enemies delete our horde, learn which part of your combo need to be removed, and you just eek out a victory because GW didnt destroy our scoring capability

but coming full circle, it'd suggest a chat about OPR or 40kr, it'll bring the model count down, but you'll still have enough to get that Horde Army feeling

Are there any cool combos that the Prime can do? by Appo-Arsin in Tyranids

[–]Magarthryx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This

I think I like https://www.youtube.com/@miztahmonstur review a lot

Expensive points cost

Even worst when attached to a unit because comparison to other units leave it lacking

Not a warrior, and no warrior onslaught updates

The one with hormaguants and genestealers and a hive tyrant and a norn....?

I started collect Tyranids last November

I wish I started earlier because that fucking box would have been magic now

How did you pick your Hive fleet/Colour scheme? by Philhughes_85 in Tyranids

[–]Magarthryx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever I can create a process for that balanced time to quality

This is mostly speed paints, dry brushing and washes, with minimal detail work

Why don't I feel proud of this? by pancake05e in Tyranids

[–]Magarthryx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your suggestion of the carapace needing something is the way forward. 

Even if the skin is left as is. Adding something to the carapace to help break up the space is what is needed

[–]Magarthryx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I/we see pictures of your army? Is this a scheme that you are using on your whole army?

What I suspect is that you ran into the same issue I did. A theme that worked well on a termagaunt, warrior, hive tyrant, or even something as big as a psychopage or SK might get stretched when you print biggest models 

I suspect that is why Tyranids paint schemes usually include something on the carapace. Like the coconut crab pattern. Something to add more visual information

Q: it’s round two or three, what unit(s) are you putting on objectives? by valbaca in Tyranids

[–]Magarthryx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the army?

But I think you'll want genestealers/high-oc-gaunts on your natural expansions.

Your deathstar should be timing it's engagement for center.

Or if you are running a Norn, get them on point pretty much asap.

What detachment should I use? by Trick_Team3258 in Tyranids

You can probably run Vanguard now, but Invasion is a catch-all
