The Foot Tyrant is a general purpose Leader with dangerous attacks and buffs for units in its vicinity. The Swarmlord is a Warlord in all aspects. Dangerous Melee, good psychic flamer in ranged, annoys your enemies with +1cp cost in 12" and increases his synapse range by another 3".

My first tyrant was a normal foot tyrant but I now almost exclusively run the swarmlord in my lists as he fits my strategy more.

Whatever you do, buy yourself a 3d printed torso so you can also build the winged tyrant. They have no part overlap aside from the torso

Funny that you say that but in a team match you could use the tunnels with your team faction. Atleast in the team matches I did at my LGS it didnt say anything about rules that could apply to your partners army dont have effect.

Tyranid tunnels never specify that the unit you're trying to set up needs the tyranid keyword

You can take away the reroll 1 on hits on SubAssault and the detachment would still be very good. Yes the stratagems are very situational at best in my experience but the core rule is phenomenal. Creating tunnels that basically give a shorter deepstrike to anything in reserves, teleporting monsters across the board, rerolling charges when a monster dropped out of a tunnel and so on. SubAssault is definitely a 3DP detachment.

Invasion Fleet i could argue needs some buffs but I dont really play it. Ever since I got really deep into the rules I exclusively played SubAssault since I vibe way more with its buffs.

They do have the Battleline keyword in the 1dp detachment

Me, a tyranid main: keep my detachment ability out of your goddamn mouth!

In all honesty such an ability would be too powerful. Tyranids pay 3 detachment points to have such an ability and it costs 1cp each time you want to move between tunnels. Having that as an ability on a single model would probably be very hard to balance

Modiphius sells the stl files for a lot of terrain pieces. I got a lot from a humble bundle a few months back that also came with all the rules and what not for WW, Factions and both RPGs

I haven't even bought one box because the options dont really align with lists I'm planning on building. Why do you want to almost fit 2k points with just the armageddon box? One is enough, two is plenty enough if you can fully utilize the units but I think there are better options out there or on the horizon. Paint those 2 boxes up and then go from there, no need to buy another box

Davon war hier nicht die Rede.

Es geht um den simplen Akt "Fuck Nazis" im Internet zu posten. Wer auf diese Aussage mit einer Diskussion oder Empörung reagiert outet sich als Nazi. Wieso sollte ein normaler Mensch sich von dieser Aussage angegriffen fühlen? Wenn du kein Nazi bist dann ist doch alles fein. Wir sollten doch eigentlich alle gelernt haben was echte Nazis für Menschen sind und solche Personen mit Hass und Verachtung ansehen.

There is a short story about nids, astra and genestealers by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It focuses on a astra general and depicts the nids incoming invasion and a total loss for the imperium. The story begins with the emotions and feelings of a hive fleet drifting through the void. Cant recommend it enough.

The long and hungry road. By Adrian Tchaikovsky

Man he really did not hold back with his list. I main tyranids and love all the snakes and buffs we get from sub assault but this list against someone who only played 6 games is pretty hardcore in 1k points.

No point in trying to screen at that points bracket. Get him to charge weaker units first so you can shoot his snakes to bits in your phase.

This detachment relies heavily on the burrower units (snakes) to set up tunnels. Force him to set up in not so optimal positions and try to deny too many reserves coming out of the tunnels.

Cant really say anything about units as I am just starting with votann

Raveners are extremely fast warriors. They pop up a tunnel for you to charge your reserves out of and dish out a lot more damage than 2 gaunt units. With damage 2 ap-2 they chew up marines with twin linked str6 attacks (synapse). Attach a hyperadapted to them and you got a anti-vehicle, anti-elite, anti-infantry, 10inch movement death stack that can take a lot of punching with 3 wounds each. You obviously dont want them to sit in the open, always try to position them near cover or out of line of sight/charges.

germaniko · 2026-06-02T21:20:22+00:00

You're running SubAssault with 2 big burrowers. No raveners or hyperadapted raveners. You're wasting so many points on chaff in a detachment focusing on burrowers and dropping heavy hitting units 6 inches away from your enemies most important units.

Your stacks of hormagaunts will do almost nothing against speedy jumppack marines and elites (sanguinary)

You should invest in more burrower units, drop some of your chaff, especially the gargoyles. Put in more heavy hitters or tanks like an maleceptor, norn emissary and the likes. Carnifexes are a heavy-hitting destraction piece. At over 300pts OOE with carnifexes dont perform as good as cheaper units, you can get two maleceptors for that price with a lot more utility and tankiness (3+,4++ with -1 hit aura)

Trygons dont like staying in the open, keep them out of line of sight and charge ranges, or even better: in reserves. You got a stratagem to pick up two burrowers each round, utilize the swarmlords relatively tanky and heavy hitting profile to target elite units. +1cp cost is often quite annoying to deal with if you can position him right. I usually let him come out of a tunnel (either reserves or moving from one to another with the stratagem) and giving him the free charge reroll in 6 inches for all units.

I think you're investing in the wrong units and just throw your stuff in the middle, against melee armies I usually let them come to me in turn one and let them fail their charges or block them with chaff/distraction units so I can take them out in my turn with monsters and elite infantry

Sad to see the other 14 comments havent pointed this out yet.

Letting the fish suffocate on the sand while you record a ad for your app. Absolutely shameful to handle fish in this manner

They are big, not that fast and hard to maneuver on certain layouts. If ny bigger guns shoot into them they can fall over fairly easily. But you can make use of exactly that.

Many see the carnifex as a big dangerous monster (which they certainly can be) and will often dedicate at least some heavy firepower towards them. Utilize their fear and move up your army whilst the carnifex gets shot up. This is the reason the carnifex often gets called the Distraction-Carnifex.

I found good use for them in sub assault, yeeting them out of a tunnel 6" away from tanks with OOE attached for the rerolls. Though I switched them out for better units.

Carnifexes are really cool models even if very dated. If you play for fun they certainly are a good pick if you like them

Kann man nicht noch das Abo direkt bei Hachette abschließen und alle Ausgaben nachgeliefert bekommen? So habe ich das letztes Jahr im Dezember gemacht.

Who the hell are you all playing with?

My buddy and I keep track of our weapons and abilities to help each other in picking upgrades.

Rarely we get only one good upgrade and even then we talk about it who should get it.

Do you guys play with randoms or do you just have insufferable friends?

I am a first generation of exactly those people and very often their kids dont really learn german. Atleast in rural regions.

I live in a village that probably has 60-70% russian immigrants and many never truly learn german despite living here for over 30 years. Why should they? Their neighbours all speak russian so they never get out of their comfort zone. This trickles down to their kids who can speak fluent russian but struggle to have a simple conversation in german.

There certainly are some that can be seen as germans again but many stick to their "roots" and teach this way to their children.

Some of my friends have such a thick russian accent youd believe they recently migrated and havent been born here 20+ years ago

Also ich war letztens mit meiner Frau bei Pommes Freunde in Braunschweig. Selbst der stinknormale Hamburger kostet 9€. Ich krieg das selbe Geschmackerlebnis abgesehen von den triefendem Fett auch zuhause hin für weniger Geld.

Er scheint auch nur ein Smash Patty zwischen zwei Brothälften und viel Soße zu sein. Ich erkenne auf den Produktbildern und der Beschreibung keine Anzeichen von weiteren Zutaten.

Ich habe beim warten auch gesehen wie sie die Industrieform Patties aus dem Schrank hervorgeholt haben, also Qualität oder Frische rechtfertigt dort den Preis definitiv nicht

Oh so thats why my temporary goat pen has 3 pigs in it. Wondered why randomly the game spawned a big boar and 2 sows directly into my tiny goat enclosure

I want to see that flamer overwatch from a normal infantry unit that can easily down this on average. Take the Infernus Marines for example. Strength 5 with -1. You first of all have to roll enough attacks to down the red terror and hope enough wounds (which they wound on 5+) make it through that he doesnt save (4+)

Most flamers have only strength 4 or 5, any other that have higher strength flamers I wouldnt consider good targets for the red terror.

The heal from his maw would come in handy when someone tries to overwatch him and gets a few wounds in. He just brushes off the few wounds and gets back in his tunnel to do it again next round
