That gives me around 3 months or less to try and collect up a decent basic force of Tyranids. I have a box set of Space hulk waiting for me to buy at the local game store, which will provide the basic HQ and 2 Troops options. After purchasing that, I plan to buy the models that I absolutely love in the tyranid line: Carnifexes. How am I going to come up with the money to afford these extravagant new purchases, you might ask? Well yesterday I started a new job as a portrait photographer in a studio. Pretty neat. Also, Alaskans are privy to a little spending money each year called the Permanent Fund Dividend. Basically all people in Alaska that have been a resident for a year or more can get one, and they pay out every October. It usually comes out to be a grand or so, and it is intended to offset the costs of living up here, which is slightly higher than New Jersey.
I have the last ed. Codex for the Tyranids, but I am wondering what new changes the new one might bring. I want to make a list similar to the following for my first list, and I will add units / drop upgrades as I buy more models:
HQ
Brood Lord-
Implant Attack, Extended Carapace, Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs
Retinue of 5 Genestealers-
Implant Attack, Extended Carapace, Toxin Sacs, Sything Talons, Flesh Hooks

250
Total: 1495
So what do you think the new codex will change about my list? All you 'nid players out there, the floor is yours.
Honestly I am not sure what I want to see in the new Dex.
ReplyDeleteI hope for some better deployment rules for Lictors (yes I am looking at you Mr Marbo) due to a nice bit of evolution.
I would also like the Biovores to be more useful and Spore Mines to have somewhere in the list.
Something Anti Tank which isnt a template weapon or based on only ever getting Glancin would be nice, but i am not too worried, and not holding my breath for it.
