Tyranids T6 R US

My Baby Maker

The Tyranid Codex is sup-par. That is a fact and it cannot be ignored. However, there are some shining lights in the codex, and Tyranids are still one of the most fun armies to play around with at the moment. They were my first army at the tail end of 2^nd edition, and they are also my largest. I have amassed over 14k points of Tyranids including the old OOP Armourcast creatures, and have no plan to clear out my stock. With that in mind, I’m trying my version of T 6 R Us (monstrous creatures/creatures with T6 or more only). I have maximized the amount of T6 creatures and taken out the usual Hive Tyrant aspect. I just feel the Tyrant is something that nearly always fails to justify his expense in the 5^th edition book. Four Tervigons should provide enough fodder to prevent my big beasties getting gibed in combat, and with Hive Guard x 3 and Tyrannofex x 2, I should have adequate anti-tank. Happy human smashing!!!!
