So, let's turn back on the tyranid list discussion please
2 monthes ago, we faced a strong tyranid list and we thought that some tweaks were necessary:
- Cards
Adrenalin Surge: according to text, it works on a brood, so effect could apply on a hierophant brood! We tested and it's terribly dirty.
-> Bio-titan brood should not benefit from this
My friend who plays nids since they appear in Space Marine told me that it's very easy in NetEpic to have good cards from the deck. In the past, there was some "bad" cards, cards to give orders to a brood that was on instinct order. All those cards have disappeared, leaving only "good" cards. In large games (>= 6000 points), with 2 dominatrix & many other synapses cards, you can easily reach 5 hive mind cards per turn (in fact more has you start with 5, use them in the turn and at the beginning of end phase you discard the ones you don't want, put them in the pile and pick "new" cards. Doing so, it's quite easy to obtain regeneration card on several turns... Playing a combo of Adrenalin Surge + Overdrive, you have some bio-titans that move up to 75cm per turn and shot in first fire...That's a bit too effective.
- Ripper Swarm is not a "brood", that's cool because tyranide player can not play card on it (cards can be played on a "brood", not a swarm).
- Harridan is a bit cheap for what it can do. Maybe a cost increase is needed ~175 or 200 points for 1 ? That's +25/+50.
