So this thing has 7 attacks on the charge, a S7 hammer of wrath, and its attacks are resolved at S7, AP2, cause instant death on to wound rolls of 4+ and as long as at least 1 6 is rolled to hit it makes a single S10 AP1 hit that causes instant death and grants FnP 4+ for at least 1 turn. And it has fleet. For 200 points.
Uhm, yeah...getting like 3 of these beasts. Yoymart here I come!

Remember, Nids can only use one weapon in CC, so you have to choose between the two depending on the combat. However, yes, this thing is cool. I just wish it was faster.

So basically we've all found a use for our Trygon models.
PS - Mostly S8 attacks. Adrenals will give the +1 in conjunction with whatever else you're using.
PPS - And Rampage means, very often, a bonus d3 (I think) attacks.
It's even decent on the charge vs Walkers, rocking the S8. Still not the "answer to the Imperial Knight" that so many were hoping for, but a very nice beasty nonetheless. Go figure, FW knows how to take a CC monster and actually design it to be a CC monster.

Go figure, FW knows how to take a CC monster and actually design it to be a CC monster. Except... no flesh hooks. Despite there very obviously being about 20 flesh hooks on its chest. Still suffers from the same Nid problem that all of them do: getting into combat. |

See I think this thing is perfect for our needs - its much larger than our other beasts, so its going to command a lot of attention on the field. Its only 200 points, right in line with most of our other beasts, which means that including 1-2 of them isn't insane.
Its the standard tyranid mindset of redundancy - if one or both of these things make combat, they'll wreck. If they don't, then your carnies will. Or your hive tyrants. Either way, something is smashing face.
Plus these things with psychic powers on them will be SO GOOOD

True. But they're not even Fearless, which is lame.
HOWEVER, the new rules for the Malanthrope look incredibly sick. It's essentially a T5 Zoanthrope/Venomthrope combination. It seriously looks incredible. With one of those things trailing just behind this dude, it gets a lot more survivable.

What are the malanthrope rules? scans?? I've always wanted one or two, and since they're like $20 at yoymart, that would be great to get to use them in my 13k list!

There aren't any scans, but here's what I got from The Tyranid Hive: And the Stonecrusher Fex: And Mieotic Spores: Initial thread is hereUnfortunately all the Tyranid specific terrain is gone. No chimneys, etc. Kinda sad that, but all this stuff seems a lot of fun. Also, RE: The Dimacheron, there's speculation that the "Leaping" rule actually negates terrain when used on the charge, as the model doesn't go "through" terrain. So maybe it has grenades. Someone e-mailed FW already to ask. |

Dude, are the wrecker fexes 40k approved as well? Or for apoc? Because I absolutely want a brood to focus on AV12+vehicles! Just sit back and laugh as they munch through everything armored. Amazing.

I don't see how any of these wouldn't be 40k approved, what with Lords of War and Imperial Knights and that Dickwolf flyer I already hate.
