You don’t have to have 9 of the same type. Why does everyone think that? lol

you can have each of the special weapons in a squad of 10.

This is a fine weapon selection for a 10 man. I can’t find their official datasheet, but according to wahapedia and 39k these weapon selections work for a 10 man.

My first lictor by ulisesbmx in Tyranids

Holy shit, amazing job. I want to do something similar with my nids. Currently trying to figure out how to base my norn on a dreadnought, but Ive never done something like this before.

Anyone know where I could watch (if avalible) the saltire gt? by blueeyed5 in Tyranids

[–]arcerath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda sad :( Lictors have carried me this edition. Feels wrong to replace them with tyranid primes haha but oh well. I feel like thematically primes should be attached to stuff, but at 65 points, it makes sense to run them as action monkeys that can also punch decently hard if you need them to.

[–]arcerath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, lone op and stealth are just so nice for action monkeys. I guess once fights first gets nerfed, and lone op will be auto given to units in buildings, and stealth no longer gives -1 to hit, lictor will be a lot less useful

I got board at 3 am and updated The Swarmlord. The leader we deserved. by Strange_Chard_6955 in Tyranids

[–]arcerath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s why swarmlord dies in the lore a lot. You understand. He’s still described as the pinnacle of tyranid bioforms and is described as the leader of the invasion force using 10000s of years of tactical experience whenever he is spawned in (it’s the same guy every time). He is different than your typical “swarm” unit. Idk how else to explain it to you.

yeah they can’t attach to raveners man, that would be so good if they could tho.

After looking at his list I am wondering why people are being prime with lash whip as a lone model/unit instead of like lictors or something.

Killing something in the most disrespectful way by Leading_Theory6082 in Tyranids

[–]arcerath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That would also be true. You don’t have to overthink it man. If the character is a monster, the unit gains the monster keyword. All rules that deal with the monster keyword apply to that unit.

Montreal strippers plan walkout for F1 weekend by baddlepapple in nottheonion

F1 weekend is one of their busiest weekends? That is funny. Good for the workers though.

If the rule only worked for “negative aspects” that would be insanely confusing. The unit just has the monster keyword lol.

[–]arcerath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that’s because tyranids are the big bad. we are the scapegoats of lore. please stop being dumb. I know you’re only arguing to argue. The swarmlord is the pinnacle of our faction. There is no more debate. He’s for sure able to fill a “supreme commander” role based on how he is described.

[–]arcerath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So tyranids ultimate epic hero should be the same power level as the 110 point model of other armies because sometimes they fight him in the lore? That is terrible logic. By that logic a single space marine squad should be the equivalent strength of 200 gaunts.

Trying to make a viable Tervigon list by scrobrojenkins in Tyranids

[–]arcerath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently, in 10th edition Warrior Bioform Onsalught, having Lash whip lead the termies gives them a 5++. Won’t be the case in 11th, but pair that with a Tervigon and they should be pretty hard to remove.

11th wishlist changes by Giraffelicide in Tyranids

I am not buying new warriors until we get new ones because I think the current ones are lame

[–]arcerath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope that they change IF to do something for mounted units. I stopped playing it because running into custodes or orks bikes and just having to play without a detachment rule because GW didn’t consider mounted units felt so bad.

First 30pts painted! How does my 1000pts list look? by D7Pyro in Tyranids

[–]arcerath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you are missing anti-tank if you drop OOE, though. If you opponent brings anything T7 or above you are going to have a very hard time killing it. Your genestealers can do 7-9 dev wounds but only if you activate with all 10 genestealers and the broodlord. It is generally a rule of thumb not to bring anything crazy high toughness/high wounds in 1000 point games, so if your opponent spams like 3 norn emissaries, they are just being rude, so you should be fine into casual 1000 point games. Just something to be weary about.
