| Great trade with Steve54. Lots of minis, painted, properly packed, with the detail to hold painting some unpainted minis for a while and some nice extras. Everything nice, easy and in time. |

| Anyway, in my side the discussion is over, as we are speaking about the gender of the angels already. The intention was to release another view of the tyranid army which people might like, so we could check if working on it is fine. There are two armies usable and they have things that can be exploi... |

| Our intention is to represent tyranids as close to the background as is possble within the epic ruleset, not to match the 40k playstyles. Dewfinitely agree. As the source was from WH40K, I was going to it, but I'm including references to the whole picture in the rest. I can go to all my list of Tyr... |

| I just had a quick look at the Imperial Armour: Anphelion Project, depicting a war against tyranids. They attack in waves and do retreat. Your understanding of how tyranids fight is inaccurate. Anphelion is WH40K apocalypse (which I've played indeed several times): how can you retreat from a combat... |

| Right, no worries. I didn't think it would be such different in a second chance as per the comments seen, but having the idea of it there could already be inspiration enough. Just remember I put two ideas, one quite simpler: going the inspiring way instead of the fearless way (both together is proba... |

| Let me rephrase; We're interested in what slight changes you'd make to the current special rules, but we're not looking to start again from scratch. I definitely understand it: it has to be a hell of a job to do a good army book, and after the job the team has taken lately, it's normal it's tested ... |

| I have to agree that I don't like the emphasis that v10 puts on large numbers of lone harridans. It's not fluffy. I meant that when in leviathan v3 you lose the harridan prime from the independent formation, the remaining formation is quite a ploff, even if you have another harridan (and that unit ... |

| Yes, just as I thought then. One last question remains then: how do you decide which part of the unit is "out of formation"? Is it just by numbers, or you just declare which part you consider the unit? (Imagine this odd case: you have 6 gaunts and 2 tyranid warriors in a 8 unit formation, ... |

| Can you deliberately move units out of formation so they die in the end of the turn? Possible reasons to do that (as examples): - You want termagaunts moving to a different unit, so you need them dead in the original one. - You want to leave behind a slower moving unit (like spore mines in a synapse... |

| Then I feel I'd have liked more those earlier versions. I really don't think the current ones are unplayable at all; they just don't taste like real tyranids when playing. We've just hashed out a new set of special rules, and we're not looking to rewrite them at the moment. Sorry if they don't meet ... |

| There are no harpies in v10, BlackLegion (see the topic); and they aren't synapse, so anywhere where you lose a separate units synapses is lost (you can't close the flank if you havent most of your nids all together, so forget about controlling distant points. I understand Ulrik's comment on table c... |

| Sigh, not again..... I think there's no real clear idea how nids work and just about every man and his dog has an opinion. It's the reason no Nid list has ever been completed. Unluckily I wasn't yet in the community by the time all the discussion was held, so I couldn't participate in the originals... |
