What you'...Kind of like the Carnif- .... oh....<br /><br />What you're saying *should* be true... target saturation is a big part of the army. However, that only works if you don't have the time/firepower to deal with each of the targets coming at you... and currently... you do.<br /><br />Tyranids are, in a word(s), too slow. <br /><br />Adrenal Glands need to unlock the old Fleet rule (run and charge in same turn). That, along with appropriately costed biomorphs/weapons, would solve the assault issue.<br /><br />I would love to run a brood of Screamer Killers, with the original models, just because. I would love it even more if they were worth running.Anonymous Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14362829012549159278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-12411540470750876102013-12-16T21:57:57.840-05:002013-12-16T21:57:57.840-05:00The Exocrine looks "plain" because of th...The Exocrine looks "plain" because of the paint job.

Move it forward while firing and let the enemy spend a ton of firepower on it.<br /><br />The Exocrine will bomb from afar. Slightly different roles.<br /><br />The best part? Tyranids will have access to lots of ways to saturate an opponent with different threats. That will make units like Warriors and Genestealers more viable again simply because they have to decide where to pour their shots.Angel of Brasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873740551656314362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-82269305767731386492013-12-15T12:43:49.918-05:002013-12-15T12:43:49.918-05:00The artillery bug with the phallic symbol on top w...The artillery bug with the phallic symbol on top will be a centerpiece on my coffee table.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589122846028036526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-45894497244799291672013-12-12T21:57:43.347-05:002013-12-12T21:57:43.347-05:00To put into perspective, the Endless swarm package...To put into perspective, the Endless swarm package, which is 72 gaunts goes for $174.

Look up the old artwork for them, and you'll see where the over-sized plate idea came from.<br /><br />My bet is the Crone either gets a flamer (hopefully a torrent) or a bio-plasma-ish gun. But from those tubes (mixing of chemicals) I'm putting more weight behind the flame template. Just guessing on my part, but that's my guess.<br /><br />I am wary of what the Exocrine means for the Tyrannofex. Not that the Tfex was good at its anti-tank job (it's far more effective/points efficient at being an anti-troop template spam unit). I've been going over my bits, though, and I can convert easily one of the flyers from a spare tervi-body (yaaay for that box that was missing legs!!), and my current 2nd Tervigon will more likely become either a Tfex or Exocrine (rupture cannon should be passable as that giant gun there).<br /><br />Anyway... time will tell.Anonymous Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14362829012549159278noreply@blogger.com
