I got a copy of the previous one and there seemed to be a lot of upgrades, this one is simpler but certain things practically became non-existent [flesh-hooks as a Warrior upgrade]. The level that we game at the Tyranids do just fine I just think the worst part of it's release was the lack of Tervigon [and to a lesser extent lack of Drop Pod] model. The Tervigon has become such a core choice in so many armies and sure you can convert a Carnifex [like I did] but if GW thought it would translate to more Carnifex sales they were wrong, unless they were hoping on behalf of ebay sales!40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125294933155144215.post-79395300381069922011-02-21T16:35:21.582+00:002011-02-21T16:35:21.582+00:00As a whole, I think the Tyranid codex was mishandl...As a whole, I think the Tyranid codex was mishandled. The FAQ makes some weird calls (that seem to break the standards set by other books--to the Tyranid player's detriment), but the codex itself is a step back from the surrounding books. Almost no IC's, no wound allocation, no immunity to ID, etc. <br /><br />I do feel that the codex itself was balanced--but not compared to the other 5th edition books. When it came out, I was glad that it wasn't over the top, and hoped it was setting a new realistic standard for the power curve, but then they came out with the blood angels and blew that theory out of the water.<br /><br />They're not horrible by any means, but for anyone who was hoping for an equally powered book will only have 3-4 years left to wait!Warhammer39999https://www.blogger.com/profile/14530221677814466120noreply@blogger.com
