Warhammer 40k Tyranid Tactics - HQ Choices

[Duck0nQwaak]

At the moment i am tossing up between tyranids and grey knights who should i buy??

[LimitlessFreeRuners]

I really whant a tervigon but... i dnt wanna mess up :/ im good at conversions but. i havent brought a 40 pound modle and changed it :/

[abped]

TAU!

[abczyx123987k]

@cripplekangaroo

games workshop sells them



[crippledkangaroo15k]

How would you get the model for a hive tyrant, because i can't seem to find a store that sells them.

[UnleashedYoYo]

Matt, i may start tyranids but if you did a 600pt game What would you take as a hq.PLZ reply on my channel or reply to me her in the comments

[Minivikng69]

Primes r actually really good for with 2 boneswords and scything talons and toxic sacs will destroy everything and with a retuine with rending claws and deathspitter own even paladins!

[joemamaUSA]

Just want to say I play a guy who has a genestealer/lictor/zoanthrope in spores army. He starts with a grand total of zero models on the table then runs in from both sides and eats your face off. I think that's the only army in existence that I hate with equal passion whether I'm playing with it or against it (I play lots of 2 on 2 games. Being hung out to dry against two opponents for a turn or two is not fun)

[pikachuonkova112]

can i put crushing claws and a stranglethorn cannon on a carnifex ??

[1onov]

@pikachuonkova112 yes,you can.But crushing claws is +D3 atk now;sc cannon is S5 AP5 assault1

[thousandson556]

@pikachuonkova112 yes you can

[Zerg82]

i used to like warhammer but then 5th ed came out. now the army is in the garage with the rest of the rubbish.

[TRC270]

Is the battleforce any good?

[Nawor666]

@TRC270 The battleforces are good in that you basically get a discount on the individual things you get, and the Tyranid battleforce could realistically be entirely used in a good army (which is not common). Unfortunately, if you want a good army you're going to have to piece it together yourself, ideally with any tips you can find. But the battleforce is a good place to start.

[savagepoodle321]

i havent won a game against space wolves ever whilst using my nids please could you make a video explaining some tactics that could help me to defeat them (just some general stuff would be much appreciated)

[vtec407]

wow, just started collecting space wolves and didn't realize until now that they're one of the most overpowering armies in 5th edition lolz

[power2285]

k thank you for that

[hellsingova1988]

why do you not use the lash-whip bonesword combination them ?

[power2285]

Can anyone tell me if the imperial guard are a good army choice? (Imperial guard going to be my first army)

[Kaos77Kisame]

@power2285 Yes, yes they are. At the moment, the main 3 over-powered armies are Imperial Guard, Space Wolves and Grey Knights, Grey Knights possibly the most powerful.

[Nawor666]

@power2285 They are a good choice, and have the advantage of having multiple good choices in several slots.

[Siffran57]

How to face a gunline army? I have test your tactics but it haven´t work. Like Imperial Gaurds. When the shot with ther tanks i don´t got a chans.

(I think the english i littel wrong.)

But anyway, this was a good lesson. :)

[SjachKothar]

2 words rending claws

[greywarror]

I am also a tryanid player and i think your a great player. I agree about the tervigon but do you think its needed to have regeneration. And anlaff no its not just a anorther carnifex because it has str 6 and 6 wounds and it can do pyhic powers. same cost and other things except leadership 10 i think

[greywarror]

I am also a tryanid player and i think your a great player. I agree about the tervigon but do you think its needed to have regeneration.

[anlaff]

is a tervigon just a carnifex with talons? i can't find it on GW site or forge world

[thewizard99]

@anlaff there aint a model for it, but a tervigon should be big.

[Yoshi6400]

@anlaff

There's no official model for the Tervigon. From the ONE piece of official art, it seems to be somewhere between the size of the Carnifex and Trygon. Base size is also vague and can be that of the Carnifex or Trygon.

[RyuHono]

Question? do you have a space wolf Player ? if not can you try to shed a light on their effectiveness

[azzman182]

These videos inspire me. Even if you guys discuss an army I don't collect it's still cool to hear about other stuff. I hope there's more videos on tau soon. Oh and just a suggestion I think it would be cool for u guys to do videos on customising modles

[CVxTelevision]

When is Dave gonna do the next ask a war gamer? he hasnt done one it a while and i check on the website

[gankama]

I loved playing as tyranids, then grey knights came out. Psybolt Autocannons wipe out nearly any multiwound unit that's not monstrous, and since nids rely on melee, they find themselves slaughtered. The GK are able to counter them fairly easily unless you take a million genestealers. Even then, they have those stupid grenades. I mean good god. I went after a venerable gk dreadnaught with 3 carnifexes squadded with a prime, and because of its rerolls and power to negate shake/stun, I did nothing.

[brothersof40k]

check out my new warhammer 40k channel called "brothersof40k"

[SIlentMasicar77]

i guess a -what to use when your enemy does this- would help the most, personally i dont play Nids but might possibility to pick them up!

[duchnofil]

hi matt !! I have a question : what should i play in smaller batlle like 1000 pts? i mean which hq choise. thx

[Wake325th]

Good to see another MWG tactics series. :)

[enjoyandhavefun99]

Tyranids simply dont have tactics at all.

It´s just:

Move em all up to tha enemy

And run em over XD

[Nawor666]

@enjoyandhavefun99 They do have tactics, but you did mention their main one. The real difficulty is making an army that can do that without getting shot to pieces first.

[MrEddieChaos]

Blue Table Tshirt!

[BrotherPsyker1]

Die Zenos!!!

[DmanZism]

@BrotherPsyker1 First of all you spelled Xenos wrong you stupid human, and second of all Balls to the Empire and your Smurfs

[BrotherPsyker1]

@DmanZism Marines live to kill Alien scum not spell words

[shadow12340k]

what would a good elite choise be? go a planning on getting a zoanthrope should i or not?

[SwedishAirsofter0]

@shadow12340k One wont be enougth, It will be overrun. Get 3

[OZITOMAE]

also why dont you guys make videos about grey knights or even talkabout them?

[OZITOMAE]

can you give us a video about grey knights history and a good army idea please?

[makakooos]

@OZITOMAE GK are now the most overpowered army.... just take 3x Mr. Roboto and rest of the army in termies and there you go.

[CommandGuardNoodles]

Could you do a video on the Doom of Malan'tai please?

[enrgie]

Matt what do you think about the Balll o'Death - Tyrant + 3 Tyrant Guard + 1 Prime all geared to go into close combat?

[Hellisearth11]

Hormagaunts FTW..

4 squads of 30.

All with glands and toxin sacs.

then one prime..... finished.

[Yoshi6400]

Regarding the Tyrant:

Something based om my own experience... Though it doesn't seem like the best idea at a first glance, give it Toxin Sacs and, if you have the points, Toxic Miasma.

Toxin Sacs - 4++ To Wound is statistically better than 2+

Toxic Miasma - A model always fails the test on a 6. Therefore, 1/6 chance of dealing an extra wound to ANYTHING that has wounds, ignoring its Toughness.

[Yoshi6400]

Regarding the Prime:

The Prime's ability to boost Warrior Stats is nice, but actually not where it shines the best. Attaching it to OTHER squads is the key.

Ex: Equipped with Lashwhip+Bonesword and teamed up with 2-3 Hive Guard somewhere away from the main force and out of LOS. The Hive Guard get Synapse so they don't have to shoot at nearest target, the Prime has T6 things to pass S10 wounds to and can deter potential assaults because of its weapons.

[Psycatic64]

Is there any way you can use Pyrovores with any degree of efficiency?

[Yoshi6400]

@Psycatic64

There is actually one situation where Pyrovores work:

You MIRACULOUSLY have them assault or get assaulted by Terminators.

Why:

The Termies will overkill the Pyrovores and pay for it due to a loophole. The Pyrovores will take more Power Weapon wounds then the maximum wounds that the squad has, most likely all in the same Initiative Phase. Because everything was inflicted at the EXACT same time, ACID BLOOD triggers for each wound inflicted, despite it going past the the maximum.

[Krazy8ts]

tactica for the win

[Dravenguild]

I have the best tyranid tactic of all:

1. Grab Tyranids

2. Put on shelf until new codex

3. ???

4. Profit!

[Gregorious926]

@Dravenguild sadly I kinda agree...

[knightdrako]

@Dravenguild 3. Save money in order to buy new nids when the new codex comes out.

[screwmanx]

@Dravenguild Nids are just fine.

[GotikusIndustrialis]

@Dravenguild

Tyrandis aren´t that bad. Only compared with SM they suck. But compared to SM Codex every other armys codex sucks...

[ElavionPL]

@GotikusIndustrialis Do you mean... Space Marines? not GK, or BA but... Space Marines? really?

[GotikusIndustrialis]

@ElavionPL

Nearly all Marine Dex´s are overpowerd except BT and probably DA (No Idea about these). And as a primary Tau Player more than half of my units in codex are useless.

[Reishyn]

@GotikusIndustrialis Please tell me you're joking because, bar Grey Knights and some Space Wolf builds, Space Marines are in no way overpowered. Like, not even close to it.

[Kaos77Kisame]

@GotikusIndustrialis The only op Marine Dex's out there are Grey Knights and sometimes Space Wolves. Blood Angels aren't, Dark Angels certainly aren't, Vanilla Marines certain as hell aren't, Black Templars aren't. You play Tau who suffer greatly from old Codex syndrome and the fact that you can't shoot underneath your devilfish anymore, thank the Emperor. Come spring, and you'll likely have an op Codex and nothing to complain about.

[thewizard99]

@Dravenguild its not that bad!!! -read codex- when the new one here?

[DJG15MO]

I wanna learn about Tau.

[LordRatmilk]

I'm new to 40k and looking to start a tyranid army, a video on your suggestions for a first 1000 point army would be very helpful.

[TheSalamander72]

im debating wether or not i should switch my prime & warriors with a hive tyrant, the main purpose of the warriors was to clean up anything that my first units couldnt kill however i keep seeing them die to the last power fist sargent/nob in the squad, a tyrant with gaurd will definately last longer but im not sure if they can do the job quickly enough, plz help

[MrDreamblade]

2 primes with lash wip and sword in a unit of 10 termagants with 2 troop tervagons is one of the best starts. Then, 3 trygons, 9 hive guard, and a bunch of gargoyles should make up the rest. This is pretty much one of the top lists out there.

[TuxAndSandals]

I think there called gargoyles? the flying ones are what id like to know a little about xP being a big spacemarine and inqusition player Ive not yet had the chance to learn much about these nids

[CornettoMTG]

Hey Hey BlueTable Fans!

[warhammerpro69]

Ok thanks

[blaarghe]

Hah love the t shirt!

[warhammerpro69]

My brother is starting 40k he can't decide who to start as tyranids or orks.

I don't know much about them only their horde armies. so which should he do?

[thegruntmaster117]

@warhammerpro69 orks waaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!­

[Fyzz4life]

is the swarm lord any good ?

[CoreMarine]

@Fyzz4life In a really big point cost tyranid army, I've never seen any Tyranid player NOT take him(as in they always do take him). I don't play tyranids, but I know from experience that the Swarm Lord in a 1500 point or higher army is a bitch to kill and destroys anything it enters in close combat. The only problem is it costs A LOT to use it, which is why it only really appears in big games.

[knightdrako]

I miss my 196 pts dakka flyrant with warpfield and the 211 pts dakka tyrant with 2 tyrand guards. :( plus they had eternal warrior too.

[PibsterPewPew]

btp shirt ftw!

[TheTawanchai]

when do i us Genstealers?

[commandervulkan]

I miss chaos tactics.

[Timpich44]

Good work! Similar videos to other factions would be awsome! If you don't got any experience with that faction just bring someone who got some :D Really enjoyd this video :)

[MrBlob8]

could u cover the harpy please

[joshr850]

Dont forget to discuss a unit weakness vs army types such as how well a unit can withstand massfire power of bolter or lasguns vs closecombat armies.

[RiseAgainstRcoks]

More now. Get to work Matthew.

[EZEERIC1]

"Fucktion" 0:49

[UndeadKittens]

@EZEERIC1 Its very pronounced, I wonder if it was like a dare to see if anybody would notice XD

[ProjectDeathJester]

About time. . .
