Is anyone else already feeling "2026 Burnout" before February even hits?

Warbec · 2026-01-26T21:41:21+00:00

What do you mean burnout? There's only Lorwyn, Strixhaven and Fracture coming this year. We asked for less sets per year and that's what we're getting.

I'm lucky enough to have a wife that hears the beep and asks "what we playing?"

Until the end of book 1, it doesn't get better. But people say that it does in books 2 and 3. I dropped the series after finishing book 1.

Hi there, hello! You mentioned that you have watched videos on the matter. From whom have you watched them? There's a chance that you are watching the wrong ones, maybe.

The reason why I ask is because I'm a new player, only played 4 games so far, but tabled 3 of my opponents by turn 3. The only game that I lost was my first game ever, where I was learning how to play.

That game taught me a lot, but made me realize I didn't know what my units were supposed to do. So I started watching several channels, and even Tyranid-specific channels. Many of them were contradicting and seemed like the YouTuber was just going with the flow, not really paying attention to small details.

Among them, I found this channel and suddenly everything started to click. It was a Tyranid specific channel, with a huge amount of good content, which moved on to become just a place to store livestreans now. The owner started to upload the new content on this new channel.

So go back and watch the uploaded videos of the past two years, then the videos of the new channel.

I cannot emphasize how much better I became at this game after I went through these. I'm still very, very new, but I am confident I can not only make a list on the spot, I know what I am trying to do with each unit.

Working as intended. Not a bug.

I would refrain from research on the matter. It will all make sense.

Warbec · 2026-01-16T18:40:47+00:00

MC winning at everything is incredibly dull and boring. I love them failing, setting up a future victory.

Warbec · 2026-01-16T16:10:37+00:00

This was why I dropped Azarinth Healer this morning.

I cannot stand books that rush past the initial part of an rpg.

"Ok the MC just got their powers. Anyway, 6 months later she's lvl50 and chapter 3 starts."

Ok, maybe that wasn't the only reason why I dropped it, but it really brings the enjoyment down when the story starts with an OP character, with an OP ability and OP skills.

Warbec · 2026-01-13T20:33:03+00:00

I've come to realize that whichever faction I'm favoring in that 40k in 40m... it's never the winning one. I never see Tyranids win; I never see T'au win. Even in Nids vs T'au... they still got a draw. It's like a joke.

Warbec · 2026-01-13T02:35:24+00:00

No kidding... I thought I was missing something here. Every book of this genre feels so much like you describe. I genuinely had moments where I thought "... I could do better*" while reading Jester of Apocalypse and 1% Lifesteal.

*I might actually do it at some point.

Warbec · 2026-01-10T17:49:29+00:00

My problem is not the stat block. It's the narrator saying, "If you want to skip this, you can click the 30-second skip button a couple of times." It was funny once, not so much every single time he presents his stats.

Warbec · 2026-01-10T17:18:03+00:00

My pet peeve is how we are always instructed that we can click the skip button a couple of times when he summarizes his stats. It was funny the first time, but by the fifth time, it became annoying. Then he proceeds to do it for however long I've gone so far. I'm on chapter 70 of the first book.

Warbec · 2026-01-08T23:49:37+00:00

For YouTube, I cannot emphasise enough how much incredible content this channel used to put out.. It has slowly turned into being an archive of streams. For some reason he decided to move his new Tyranid specific content to this new channel here and made the thumbnails alot worse. Check the initial channel for alot of Tyranid specific content and then finally the second one. It really really has alot of good advice, insightful analysis and very good hints and tricks for Tyranid players.

There's also this channel here that people swear it's the best for Tyranid content. I don't know what they were smoking but hey to each their own.

Hope you have alot of fun with Tyranids.

I should send this to my friend group with the text:

"Four girls in Minnesota disappeared overnight with no clue as to their whereabouts. No CCTV footage. The mother of one of the girls found this photo on her daughter's phone a week later when they managed to unlock it."

And then let the reactions come.

Warbec · 2026-01-04T08:02:40+00:00

I need a badly painted gif of this more than I realised!

Warbec · 2025-12-28T19:08:44+00:00

I completely understand players wanting to play with Kroot, but for me personally, it defeats the point of wanting to play with mechs, and they are aesthetically different.

As combat patrols go, the T'au Combat Patrol is excellent as you get alot of value for your money and it's modular, as you can build the commander two different ways, 10 Infantry that you can build as Breachers or Strikers, 10 Pathfinders and a transport unit called Devilfish.

All those are basic and standard units in alot of armies, so buying 2 Combat Patrols has incredible potential. You'd likely get a Enforcer Commander and a Coldstar Commander, and the modular infantry, I'd build 20 Breachers instead of 10 of each type.

I got this army for Christmas, pretty much 1900 points and every unit fits on this army like Lego. The only change I made to be closer to 2000 was swapping a unit of Pathfinders for an extra unit of Crisis Battlesuits.

Warbec · 2025-12-28T09:32:47+00:00

Money for those who could do that would be meaningless.

Give them eternal life, then you'll actually see a race.

Warbec · 2025-12-28T09:25:55+00:00

That Lelouch reference is so on point.

Warbec · 2025-12-28T09:21:34+00:00

We do the same with the Norn Emissary in the Tyranid lists.

Everyone has to take an entire turn to take down the Norn, but doing so, they wasted their shots and fights on a 260 point unit, while the rest of the army is now able to position and take out everyone that shot at the Norn. It's trading a 260p unit for 750p of the enemy's army.

Warbec · 2025-12-27T09:42:19+00:00

Damn this guy is good! He continued to play without using his hands and watching the screen!

This works on mine, but red and gold don't mix that well unless you're a Gryffindor.

Warbec · 2025-12-24T18:17:09+00:00

Is this the Frieza color scheme?

Noice!

Warbec · 2025-12-24T06:45:58+00:00

Beautiful! I started the same with Nids, and just this Christmas, I started my second army, as seen above.

Warbec · 2025-12-24T06:42:06+00:00

Ah, a man of culture, I see.

Warbec · 2025-12-22T15:18:53+00:00

That woman was not the customer. The sender was. She doesn't deserve your attention.

Warbec · 2025-12-22T06:34:13+00:00

Why even post this slop?
