Games Workshop Warhammer 40k - Tyranids Haruspex

Product Information

Excitement for the new Codex: Tyranids is at fever pitch, and there’s still so much to see inside. We only just finished a look at the new Detachments yesterday , and we haven’t even brushed against the new miniatures , new Crusade rules, and new lore.

The Land Raider ceases functioning the moment a single Guardsman gives it a high five. And remember, it’s supposed to be a vehicle that _gets in close to deliver troops to the enemy_. Daemonhosts and Jokaero are 25-35pt models with small numbers of wounds and no abilities of note. If nothing else on this list, they are _infinitely_ worse than the Haruspex on a variety of levels. WarCom: What were some aspects of Tyranid warfare that you most wanted to highlight when designing the new Detachments?Reivers have the same problem as Ogryn- they don’t DO anything. Yeah, they can like assault some infantry and punch it… but so can literally every other Space Marine unit, and they are more expensive than most. You pay for two wounds and deep strike on a unit that doesn’t make significant use of either.

Now, you could listen to us talk about it until we’re blue in the face, but there’s no beating insider knowledge. That’s why we spoke to Rich and Andy from the Warhammer Studio about the new Codex, and what it was like to work on such a momentous project. Reivers: vertical movility and deep strike. A maxed squad costs close to the same as a Haruspex and have an almost decent antichaff power. Mutilators and Possessed: apply almost the same to ogryns, a bit worst. Really close in that worst ten. Frenzied Death Throes – When this model is reduced to 0 wounds, on a 6+, it causes 3 mortal wounds to every unit within 3 of it before it is removed. While I agree that every model in that list needs changes to be decent, I don’t think all of them are worst than the Haruspex, and a few are a lot better than him.In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising.

Of course, it is more expensive, so in the end is not far from the Haruspex. Two Stalkers, firing together, won’t kill a Haruspex over the entire course of a game even if they don’t ever shoot at anything else. It’s one of the worst points-per-firepower you can get. Andy: For me, it’s all about those new Biovore and Pyrovore models . The old ones were classics, but the complete aesthetic design refresh really pushes them to the forefront for me and makes them look every bit as ghastly, alien and menacing as they deserve to. Of course, it’s also hard to ignore the scuttling tentacle-mawed horror of the Psychophage – that thing’s a real terror, and leans far into the insectile nastiness that makes the Tyranids such a cool and engaging faction. Andy: Then of course there’s the wealth of new units and – the bit I’m most excited about from a gaming point of view – a treasure trove of Tyranid Crusade content. It charges hobbyists with consuming worlds and recycling their opponents’ armies into raw biomass, enhancing their gaming experiences with yet more warrior organisms to add to their swarm.
