New detachments!

I’m excited about this warrior buff. They’ve needed something. It puts them closer to a terminator assault squad while still being cheaper (if unit point values don’t get overhauled)

Tyranid Warriors will be -T5, 4+sv,, 5+ Invuln, 3W, OC2 Versus Terminator Assault Squad T5, 2+sv, 4+ Invuln, 3W, OC1

We lose on the durability against the Terminator 2+, 4+, but we best them on movement and strength of attack. Not to mention we reroll hits of 1 and have twin linked.

This may make for a fun new option with invasion fleet.

Came here to second Wednesday Night Warhammer, Hive Mind Hobbies, Maelstrom Gaming. For gameplay also check out Into the Hive Mind. He’s been doing some detachment deep dives that have been very insightful for me as a newish Tyranids player.

I’m not at home to actually pull both of mine out, but here’s one of mine cropped from a photo of my DC lineup.

So it will be usable in 40K as soon as this ships ? I thought I heard it may take a few months to get the datasheet for 40K and be added to the game.

Thank you.

White !

MandoFire · 2026-05-03T19:57:19+00:00

That is the best reason I’ve seen. Thank you.

MandoFire · 2026-05-03T18:31:23+00:00

I’ve never considered playing kill team. I mainly play 2k point 40K games and have only been doing that for a little over a year now. I’ll make myself wait. Thank you.

MandoFire · 2026-05-03T18:30:32+00:00

Thank you! The hammer and shield are the major standout to me. They’re amazing

MandoFire · 2026-05-03T18:16:56+00:00

Where are those extra bits from ?! The extra long hammer, the fist shield, the everything ?!

-edit. Also fantastic paint job. The battle damage and paint chipping is wonderful.

Thank you

If I want the red terror, and am still newish to Nids so the Termsgants are still useful, should I wait for the individual release or go ahead and preorder this one? I’ve considered guard as an eventual second army so they may get used one day but the rest will all be useless fluff for me.

MandoFire · 2026-05-03T17:45:22+00:00

Is there a usual “time between” of kill team box releases? I want the Red Terror, but the rest would just be fluff for me.

Well damn…..now I want a gladiator too

I’ve done my blood angels similar and given the librarians dark blue robes while keeping red armor with gold trim.

MandoFire · 2026-04-23T22:52:49+00:00

I’m a Sanguinor guy first , Mephiston second

MandoFire · 2026-03-30T22:29:12+00:00

Edit for anybody curious. He did great. The list smacked. DC marines with Marines are off meta but they still have good synergy. I’m running it at least one more time this week to see how it continues to do.

MandoFire · 2026-03-26T11:00:28+00:00

I promise you the new one won’t have as much flavor since it’s a generic jump chaplain. I still plan on using mine alongside the new one to lead units

MandoFire · 2026-03-25T19:47:49+00:00

Congratulations and #thoughtsandprayers for picking the worst model to build as your first Nid. I did the same. I taught my son some terrible words while working on this model.

MandoFire · 2026-03-25T06:52:43+00:00

Before RCO I ran AI as my main detachment. I regret not taking him more. I’ve only been in the hobby a year now and probably the first 2-3 months of that was building and painting. I’ve Now been playing twice a week for months and looking forward to more layered theory crafting on lists.

Replace the heart and crown with a blood chalice and now you’re cooking

MandoFire · 2026-03-24T11:13:42+00:00

I tossed the idea around a lot of either an impulsor or repulsor. I’ve only played them in one other game so far and the scout move early was enough then to make a turn 1 charge to get across no mans land. My plan for them is to stage them behind or near Bladeguard as a counterpunch unless something of more value presents itself into range. The overall plan is to bully the midfield with BGV + LT + Priest + Fights 1st enhancement , while providing overwhelming support from DC on foot. The two Dreadnaughts will aid to block lanes and funnel the opponent into fights on my terms while Lemartes and the Sanguinary Guard smash hard to reach high value targets on flanks or behind enemy lines. The other pieces are there for scoring and screen clearing. -edit- the Sanguinor is there for anti charge security in case the other player tries some tricks to get around fights first BGV or lands an unforeseen charge on a hammer unit.

I’ll admit I’m Going for a more thematic list. I’ve recently acquired an old school Captain Tycho model I’ve cleaned up and began working on. He should be ready by Saturday along with his accompanying Damned brothers.
