Thegiantgnoblar (5 weeks ago):
the swarmlord is very good but i wouldnt use him against groups due to his lack of attacks (4) but he is very effective at killing generals and captains.

trust me i have him
RRRARRRgreyknight (4 months ago):
horray for tervigon going all demented on the camera at the end
Jahzir (4 months ago):
How would you suggest equipping a hive tyrant? Close combat only, or a mix of close combat and ranged weapons?
whjittuh (6 months ago):

RabbiPT (6 months ago):
Trygon is great against vehicles in melee since they have a pair of scything talons, which allows them to re-roll misses in close-combat. 7 attacks on the charge with re-rolls will hit, even on 6's, and you don't need many to negate a vehicle.
derke56 (6 months ago):
wouldn't the malacow be useful against terminators
crazy4chaos (6 months ago):
i like the fact matts nideos are useful even for non nid players
Jmaddux (6 months ago):
I like all the Videos so far.
Jmaddux (6 months ago):
I think rippers are alot more useless than spore mines, at least spore mine have a couple tactics (requires some good rolls)
They are used to disrupt the opponents deployment.

Gargoyles: It sounded like you said you cant give them toxin sacs, but yes you can.
Jmaddux (6 months ago):
@MiniWarGaming: Sorry it sounded like it was said that the Tyrant gets it but not the Swarmlord.
MiniWarGaming (6 months ago):
@Jmaddux: Actually I specifically said that they don't get Eternal Warrior.
traifan (6 months ago):
@edwardx: I wish.
Jmaddux (6 months ago):
Am I suppose to be watch the Elites tactic right now?
Jmaddux (6 months ago):
In the Nids newest Codex Synapse does NOT give Ethernal Warrior special rule!

You gentlemen are thinking of the old codex, Matt please update you video to fix this.
Digilante (6 months ago):
The prime's chief virtue is that he is cheap. At 1000 or even 1500 the points you save by taking a prime as your HQ can go a long way.
Skari (6 months ago):
@zmdunham113: yes.
afroman12345 (6 months ago):
tyranid's = the best race in the game
zmdunham113 (6 months ago):
im a new tyranid player and i have 1 hive gaurd should i get more?
edwardx (6 months ago):
all tiyranid have earnal warrior
Jmaddux (6 months ago):
QUESTION: Why can the Slord be instant killed? where does it say he has or doesnt have eternal warrior rule, same goes for the tyrant, synapse now longer gives any protection.

The Swarmlord give you everything a CC tyrant give but does it better, if you want a walking CC HQ then Swarmlord is the best way (successful inv save vs his weapons must be rerolled)and e has a IV SV himself.

Screen it with gargoyles giving them preferred enemy and he has a 18"synapse range to help that.

I take both Tyrant and Swarmlord the reserve rolls DO STACK, give +2 to the rolls.
MrFiremagnet (6 months ago):
Hey-hey, Blue Table Fans!
Olinser (7 months ago):
Also, I love the Tyranid Prime. I put him in a squad of 3 warriors with dual boneswords. Power weapons at 10 pts a model, and anything that takes a wound takes a Ld on 3d6 or dies. In my last game my Prime + 3 warriors tore a 5 man Meganob squad APART before they even got a chance to strike.
Olinser (7 months ago):
You should always give Tervigons Adrenal Glands and Toxin Sacs. Its only 20 points, and every single Termagaunt within range gets those upgrades, it makes them VASTLY more effective - they are now S4 on the charge and reroll to wound against anything T4 or less (MARINES).
thypitty5 (7 months ago):
@Lumppu:and blood angels
tyranidsrule1910 (7 months ago):
if u use a swarmlord it has a lot more useful abilities eg 2 physic powers a turn give a unit either furious charge or preffered enemy and +1 to reserves as well as a normal hive tyrant with with hive commander to a heavy reserve army so things ocme in on a 2 on turn 2
