Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. Hi Maksim Found it hard to keep up with the flurry of posts on Nids Playtest Section of SG Epic Forums as I am mostly following the AMTL list at the moment. From what I could see though you are already up to version 5.30 in no time at all. When do you think the Nid list will start to settle down with changes every few weeks rather than on daily basis? When that happens I'll ask you to forward me a copy of the list in Word format so that my friends and I can try to playtest.

Send me your E-mail and I'll add you to the mailing list.

Is that a new name? Is this something in the new 40k Nid Codex? 2) How come the Nid bio-titans have been renamed? Instead of the Heirodule and Heirophant we now have the Heirophant and Htdraphant. 3) How come so few Nid Tanks? I notice that Trygons counts as Heirodule, Malefactors counts as Haruspex, and both Exocrine and Dactylis count as Expectorator. Sorry if these have been asked before. I did n't want to ask this on the official Playtest Forums in case it set off anyone about their loss of their favourite Nid unit.

I have way too many Synapse Creatures (3 apeice of Dominatrix and Harridan and about 6 Hive Tyrants), too few Gaunts/Gargoyles (about 8 & 3 stands respectively) and a bucket load of Uncommon broods (I have at least 6 of each of the 5 tank types and quite a few Carnifex and Biovores). I am going to have to quite a bit of trading to get enough Gaunts and Gargoyles to field a legal 3,000 points Nid Army. Or get a load of the 28mm Rippers to use as Raveners.

Just clapped eyes on the new Carnifex. It's bigger than a f**king Leman Russ. Must. Not. Want. Tyranid. Army. *dribble*" Meheheheh. I really don't need to start another army... _________________ death before honour.

Is this something in the new 40k Nid Codex? It is something new. Maybe... 2) How come the Nid Bio-titans have been renamed? Instead of the Heirodule and Heirophant we now have the Heirophant and Htdraphant.

That's GW hoo-ha. The fans would prefer it stayed consistent, but that's another story.

3) How come so few Nid Tanks?
I notice that Trygons counts as Heirodule, Malefactors counts as Haruspex, and both Exocrine and Dactylis count as Expectorator.

That's Jervis's decision based on the 40k comittee. I would rather have more variety.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
