++1x Venom Cannon The new codex for the Imperial Knights codex packs Knightly teachings that can buff up your (relatively) little Armigers, and the Code Chivalric, which gives boosts. The key takeaway is to always be buying Adrenal Glands most things with access hit a meaningful strength breakpoint by taking them. Your most likely pick if you just want a mobile Troop unit for Actions or pushing for objectives is Gargoyles. But you know what? A returning classic, the giant, throbbing brains of SYNAPSE units give massive headaches to Psykers of other factions, subtracting 1 from their Psychic Tests within 18 and also causing them to take an extra mortal wound if they suffer Perils. Seems great on a Flyrant, but also very strong on a Trygon Prime, where the volume of attacks works super well with it. They were unwilling** to discuss their ordeal any further, which might explain why confirmed sightings have since been so rare. There is a mild hit to your Forgeworld friends, in that this power now ignores wounds on a 6 for TITANIC units, but the fact that this hasnt been hit with a CORE limitation is huge. We first got word of the new Grey Knights and Thousand Sons codexes back in May, during aWarhammer Fest teaser video. That promise has been borne out, and then some. It seems like Genestealers in general took a hit here and the Broodlord will probably be more at home in a cult. Bringing a large squad is maybe a bit dicey while indirect fire is so dominant, but if that changes this is worth a real look. Notably, this also separate from Perils, so anti-Perils tools like the Ghosthelm dont apply, and woe betide any poor caster that fails on a double 1. The available custom traits are split into three lists, Hunt, Lurk and Feed with five choices each, and if youre building your own Hive Fleet you pick one option each from two lists, and declare one of your picks to be your adaptable trait, which can be swapped out for a selection from the third list at the appropriate moment. That means you can now grab the book even if you missed out on the Beast Snagga box earlier in the year. Even if Crusher Stampede and the Supplement end up getting cut this is still a great option. With the newly enhanced statlines of many monsters, Voracious Appetite is more welcome than ever full melee wound re-rolls for a monster for 1CP is a button youre going to slam again and again. Luckily, their abilities have been tuned to perfection, and they now look like a bunch of fun, and provide strong synergy if you want to spam Termagants. The synaptic network of the Tyranid Hive Mind. This allows either a FLY or BURROWER unit to bug out into deep strike at the end of your turn as long as they didnt arrive this turn. The defenders of Mortrex were unable to resist simultaneous attacks that came from within and without, as the rising tide of Rippers overwhelmed them. As with the other compilations the A running compilation of rumors, leaks, sneak peaks for Tyranids 9th edition codex. The other is Gorgan focused. ++WLT: Adaptive Biology Their fixed trait gives them +1S in the first round of combat, potentially handy both for pushing big beasts to the key S8 or 9 break points and jumping smaller stuff to S4 or 5. Now, instead of affecting units in a radius, when these trigger (still usually on a 6 unless boosted) they only deal mortal wounds to the nearest enemy unit within the range. Here is what we know and how it will impact the Hive Mind. Whats bad is that you can only score this with Troops, and being brutally honest you just dont want enough Troop units in most armies to make this anything other than extremely high risk. For some reason the walking Hive Tyrant can carry a pair of stranglethorn cannons but its not allowed to carry both a stranglethorn cannon and a heavy venom cannon. Maleceptor, Enraged Reserves, Neuroparasite, Onslaught 195, No Slot Sadly bringing up the rear is the Ymgarl Factor, an underwhelming relic providing flexible boosts to S, T or A that GW continues to try to make a thing, this has very limited application and isnt likely to see many tables. Its very pricy at 20pts and you cant push the unit size above 10, which makes it a hard sell, but Im willing to be surprised that there could be some way to make use of it. Finally, Death Frenzy (Fight on death) is now melee only and gains the standard rider of not being able to be used if youve already fought, but its still a pain for opponents to play around because you now get to make the attacks on top profile so something is coming with you. What was previously an aura for Zoanthropes is not a bonus that applies to one model within Synaptic Link range. This is a great Warlord trait that is all about the mission, and there's nothing wrong with that. Carnifexes arent the only colossal creatures getting juiced up by the Hive Fleet. Definitely a weak pack overall, but the Tyranids do at least get a partial reprieve from being particularly good at Warpcraft Secondaries. The rest of their kit leans in on the poisonous theme their Warlord trait deals Mortal Wounds to nearby enemies in the Fight Phase, their psychic power gives you Mortals on 6s to wound in melee (again great with big units of swarmy stuff) and the Psychic Power enhanced Toxin Sacs, making the auto-wound trigger on a 5+ rather than 6+. Also on that theme Deathleaper (whois an upgraded Lictor). Primaris Kevin: Synaptic Imperative is also really good from the perspective of game management and mental load. Depending on the situation, its a little short-range compared to its previous anywhere on the table regardless of LoS version but its still a decent trick. Codex: Tyranids 9th edition was released on TBD Unit points throughout Time. Youll be throwing enough dice to cover the table in wound rolls. Equally important, the relic now disallows rerolls to hit, which a lot of armies leverage to push tons of hits onto targets just by sheer numbers. There are a lot of 2+ saves kicking around on big bugs now, and quite a few things lumbering around with T8 and a 2+ just on baseline, which kicks ass for monster fans. Maleceptorshave also received upgrades, including a pip of extra movement and toughness, more wounds, and improved ballistic and weapon skill.**. Even at the normal rate this is outstanding, and these should be a fixture of most lists. Then they'll most likely start changing between the rest of the xenos, chaos and imperium factions. Dipping into two Patrols hurts a little but I think the offensive potential of both a Winged Hive Tyrant and a Swarmlord pays for itself, as well as the capability to bodyguard both with a single durable unit of Tyrant Guard. Now, most units in the book contend for your attention/points and make list design interesting. Alternatively, if you have them under the Maleceptor Synaptic Imperative for Action and Shoot, do both! The tendrils of the Hive Fleets are inexorably coiling their wayaround the galaxy, choking out the stars and preparing to tuck into a billion-course meal.

So if you have a Hive Tyrant in your army (perhaps courtesy of the massivenew Combat Patrol), youll be able to activate theRelentless Ferocityability. Relentless Ferocity is perfect for repositioning and keeping up pressure on the front lines, as allies within 6 can launch fresh charges even after falling back. Weve had a run of codexes where the internal balance between units has been pretty flat, but unfortunately Tyranids buck that trend a bit. Better still, it has a fairly worrying statline of its own, with a monstrous 16 Move characteristic and enough of a melee punch to gobble up weaker foes all by itself. It isnt going to be applicable to every situation, but is a strong movement enhancement when you need it. Yes, its the legendary Parasite of Mortrex! ++4x Bonesword and Lashwhip Pre-orders: March 26th 2022 Release Date: April 2nd 2022 Parasite of Mortrex: $90 Tyranids Codex: $55 Tyranids Combat Patrol: $140 Universal Rules Synaptic Links One Per Game within 6" of any Synapse Unit Its exceedingly yucky, but brilliant stuff. This huge flying gribbly first encountered on the planet of Mortrex was originally mentioned in the 5th edition Tyranid codex, and Crusade rules have allowed Tyranid characters to mimic its horrifying implant attack but nothing compares to the real deal. Within its pages you will find 41 datasheets covering every size and shape of biomorph, as well as hive fleet rules, adaptive physiologies, hive mind disciplines, and a planet-devouring crusade section. 1782531955.

Hive Tyrant with Wings, Warlord, Lash Whip and Monstrous Bonesword, Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs, Adaptive Biology, Reaper of Obliterax, Paroxysm, Onslaught 210, Neurothrope, Synaptic Tendrils, Adaptive Neural Lobe, Catalyst, Onslaught 100, Troops The heavy venom cannon now truly lives up to its moniker, more reliably sending a hail of acidic crystals punching through troops and tanks alike. Most of the time, youre going to want to go with a heavy venom cannon, enhanced senses, and carnifex crushing claws, which adds up to essentially a redemptor dreadnought without the side arms and defences sidegraded to 9W and a 2+ save for 130pts. The Tyrannofex does end up losing out on shots from no longer firing twice, but again sees a massive boost on those it does have (as well as BS3+), with the rupture cannon being a monstrous S14 and Dd6+4. Instead of the auto-take movement boost in the Shooting phase, this ability now provides a HIVE FLEET unit within Synaptic Link range with Objective Secured. You can take units of these and deep strike them if you want, but given that pretty much every method of spawning these is now free, thats overwhelmingly how youll go about it. For example, if a Hive Tyrant wants to use a Synaptic Link ability, and has a Zoanthrope within 12 of it, then it can pick a target thats either within 12 of itself or within 12 of that Zoanthrope. Enfolding Strike lets the Parasite deal mortals and apply its nasty infection to an enemy it flies over in the movement phase, letting it do its key thing multiple times a turn which is nifty. However, it combines very well with the second part, which boosts the AP of shots under half range, and that starts to get really interesting it means that the incidental firepower from Gaunts and Gargoyles is often going to be operating at AP-2, and opens up more play for AP0 stuff in this armour save economy. Im big on defensive deployment, so while also covering most of the army in a -1 to hit bubble, having both your heavy hitters being untargetable is an easy sell for me. Thats spoken for then, but if you want a nice, generic upgrade for your big monster bug then both Adaptive Biology (5+ ignore wounds) and Heightened Senses (re-roll hits, Fight First) are very spicy. Your workhorse powers remain Catalyst and Onslaught. Not cheap, though, and you might sometimes struggle to justify the price over about 1.7 regular Carnifexes. This is a cool mechanic and adds a new wrinkle to your opponents target priority. That means you effectively get one free pick, and then get to select your other trait out of a list of six game to game certainly not bad. The Hive Mind shows a remarkably fourth-wall-breaking ability to adapt tochanges in Warhammer 40,000s ninth edition, taking advantage of Monsters ability to fire Heavy weapons on the move to up-gun several of its larger Assault weapons. Originallypackaged in theBeast Snagga Orks army box the introductory set for Warhammer 40ks newestOrk faction in July 2021,the book finally hit shelves independently on September 11. Tyranids are all about the monsters swarms of lesser bugs might accompany them to war, but the big draw here is the ability to throw shockingly powerful hammer blows from your chunkiest creatures, often at alarming speed. This is essentially the same power as 8th, but theyve combined the roll to check against Leadership into the psychic test itself. TheWorld Eaterstied off all the Warhammer 40k Chaos factions and in fact, all the codexes for 9th edition. It seems most likely these show up as minimum squads Scout deployment is always valuable, and having access to it on the roster is valuable. Jormungandr provides Dense at a distance (18 for Monsters, 12 for everyone else) which is, as ever in 9th, fine but not spectacular. Rules for constructing a Tyranid army, including new customisable Hive Fleet Adaptations. In terms of abilities Hive Tyrants can allow a CORE unit within Synaptic Link range to re-roll hit rolls of 1 courtesy of Will of the Hive Mind. That voracious speed can be replicated in your games with the Enfolding Strike stratagem, which lets you infect enemy combatants with a drive-by sting. Yesterday we took a look at some of the biggest bugs that the Tyranids have to offer, and today we'll be answering that age-old question which keeps Guardsmen awake in their bunks at night - would you rather fight one Carnifex-sized Hormagaunt, or 10 Hormagaunt-sized Carnifexes?That's right, we're talking about the many terrifying improvements Codex: Tyranids is bestowing upon the many . It also included some of the most interesting thematic rule-building GW has yet tried with its new Crusade campaign system, in the form of custom-concocted plagues for your Death Guard warband, each affecting nearby enemies in slightly different, yet equally revolting ways and developing in potency over successive games. Both are T8 2+, and their guns have gotten a tuneup the Exocrine is down in shots once you factor in that it used to shoot twice but those shots are massively better, hitting at S8 AP-4 D3, making it better overall. This book is120 pages long, with more than half of that real estate taken up with new rules, datasheets and points values the rest being lore content and artworks depicting the Drukharis dark deeds and murky homes. (note: as written this stratagem doesnt work at all, but it will presumably be corrected immediately so that it functions as above, and this is how we expect TOs to run it). save. I expect to see a lot of lists with Maleceptors, Hive Tyrants, Carnifexes, and Harpies. The last real choice here is Raveners, who like a lot of the mid-weight infantry have taken a level in badass. The third edition rendered these obsolete, and a new series began, including introducing codices for battle . In the unlikely event that they do get punked, the show isnt over for the Tyrant Guard they can pop Instinctive Rampage to become brutal killing machines, getting bonuses to hit, wound and a spectacular +4 to their charge so they can go out swinging. He/Him. The stratagem is a generic deep strike one for a mere 1CP (usable twice in Strike Force), with the only restriction being no TITANIC, so if you want to pick Hunt Augmented Ferocity as your Adaptive option and stick a couple of Scythed Hierodules or six Screamer Killers in deep strike (maybe with some longer-ranged bugs hanging back) then yeah, this looks pretty good! Codex: Tyranids came skittling to pre-order on chitinous limbs on April 16, 2022. Oof, OK. TheGrey KnightsandThousand Sonswent up for pre-order on GWs webstore in August 2021, in both standard and collectors edition variants. These vanguard organisms now get into combat faster and stick around longer something that should put fear into commanders who think they know how to deal with a Carnifex brood. Adaptive Physiology and Synaptic Imperatives, allowing you to customise your monsters before and during the battle. TheCOREkeyword, for example, means youll be able to lather on targeted buffs from leader-beasts like theHive TyrantorBroodlord. Most notably, heavy venom cannons are extremely good now, getting flat three shots at S9 AP-3 D4, one of the biggest gun glowups weve seen for a while and making them excellent almost everywhere you can take them. The firstXenoscodex release of 2021, the brand new Codex: Drukhari or Dark Eldar if you remember their original, non-copyrightable name releasedonMarch 27, and is available tobuy now. Unfortunately, this appears to have missed the boat on GWs recent revelation that you need to add and the target cannot use Insane Bravery on morale effects for them to be worthwhile, so this ends up pretty niche. Hive Guard. Its particularly useful for Carnifexes since theyre considered individual units after deployment. Realistically, youre always starting out with Onslaught and Catalyst, then adding the Witchfire powers and Paroxysm to taste, maybe throwing in The Horror on a caster who is expecting to mostly use their Hive Fleet power just so its in your back pocket for Synaptic Channeling. It lets you pick an enemy unit within Synaptic Link range in your Command Phase, and until your next Command Phase they cannot re-roll hits or wounds, and cannot re-roll Psychic Tests. In Octarius this was specific to a set of command phase buffs, but in the book its been rolled out a bit wider most notably to some of the psychic powers. Goonhammer Reads Science Fiction: Women! Top army lists from the 10 large ITC Warhammer 40k Tournaments from the past weekend, and five weeks into Arks of Omens 2023 Season. Do you think all that energy they waste fighting one another could be put to better use as biomass? In a somewhat surprising move, the newCodex:Aeldari incorporates rules not only for the Ynnari subfaction and the new Corsair models, but also the Harlequins who previously enjoyed a codex all to themselves. 10 Gargoyles 80, Elites Similar story for Onslaught, another classic power with very little changed. Some of these are clearly extremely strong right out of the gate the Zoanthropes Warp Shielding being a first pass standout that gives MONSTER units a 4+ invulnerable save and everyone else a 5+. Lastly Opportunistic Advance can provide you that extra boost of speed you need to snag an objective or get in range for a surprise offensive. Aeldari are a bit more vulnerable to it, and if you need help kicking Space Marines while theyre down this makes it easier, but this is definitely not the auto-pick for 80% of matchups that youre hoping for from one of these sections. Venomthropes also get 4W, T5 and a 4+ now, making them way better at their job (providing -1 to hit against shooting in a bubble) as opponents cant just effortlessly flatten them to remove their protection. ++Powers: Paroxysm, The Horror, Malanthrope 150pts On top of those four attacks, their scything talons now grant an additional attack each time they fight, so a classic four-talon loadout will attack eight times, with AP -3 attacks that do 3 damage each. We can imagine the Hive Mind cackling in its multitudinous voices as it pushes aSynaptic Imperativeover the swarm, making them even more formidable. These dont get a HIVE FLEET keyword, and also share the Drone Bioform special rule, which makes them work pretty differently to most units. Theyve got 4W each, and if you leave them specced as all melee they get 7A each along with rerolls of 1 to hit, which is a whole lot output, especially as theyre S5. Also good with the faster monsters is Overrun, slightly tweaked but still performing the same function. Technically, the codex had already been released as part of the Black Templars Army Boxback in October, but only received a standalone release the month after. All the stratagems, warlord traits, relics and secondary objectives youd expect from a 9th Edition book, plus an updated Hive Mind psychic discipline. Death Guard players had to wait months longer than planned, but when the codex did come, it came along with some extra goodies primarily the long-teased and fundamentally foul Lord of Virulence model, and a Death Guard Combat Patrol starter box the first of its kind for a Chaos army. More positive are the Exocrine and Tyrannofex, the big shooting bugs. The codex also has Tyranids Crusade rules for chowing down on an entire planet. We can expect this one in early 2022, around the same time as the Adeptus Custodes. Rules Included: It has all the rules you need to play a Tyranid army, including 41 datasheets covering every size and shape of biomorph and bioweapon, as well as a number of rules for rare organisms, Hive Fleet adaptations, adaptive physiologies, spore seeding, synaptic imperatives, and Hive Mind disciplines I also really like that theres a bunch of options that all look appealing in the army rules, and while Leviathan does stand out, thats partially because it has a bunch of extra toys to draw on. Its 184 pages contain 55 pages of lore; 51 pages of main faction rules (including legion-specific rules, warlord traits, relics, and more); 19 pages of rules for the Crusade narrative mode, and 44 unit datasheets. Harpy, 2 Heavy Venom Cannon, Dermic Symbiosis 195 There are also a few speed boosts, always welcome, and probably the funniest and most unique of the lot in Thrashing Demise from the Trygon Prime, which lets any of your models with Death Throes trigger it on a 3+ rather than a 6+, and also lets anything without that ability deal a mortal back on a 6 when they die. The Winged Hive Tyrant can also swap out the boneswords and whip for a pair of monstrous scything talons which are weaker but give extra attacks, while the walker already comes with an extra pair and can replace that with another ranged weapon. This can sometimes be a sidegrade, as games absolutely can be flipped by one of your units going bang in the middle of the enemy army at a key moment, but the change removes the big drawback of explosions, which is that theyll sometimes completely ruin you when the opponent gets a strong start and pops a few units in your deployment zone.
