If you’re interested in delving further into how well Tyranids fare on the tabletop, we have a handy article just for you. Every army is required to have a CHARACTER unit to serve as the Warlord, which makes at least one of these units mandatory. R: Tyrant Guard, Hive Guard, Tyranid Warrior*, Broodlord (Old)*, Lictor, Deathleaper, Ripper Swarm, Zoanthrope, Venomthrope, Ravener, Mucolid Spore, Red Terror We recently had John Lennon weigh in on playing Tyranids with the new Octarius rules but there’s enough in the new content to give players multiple ways to build. We sat down with longtime hivemind devotee Innes Wilson, who was more than happy to talk about ways to build around the new rules.

Biovore • Tyrant Guard ( Hive Guard) • Lictor ( Neurolictor • Deathleaper) • Leaper • Pyrovore • Venomthrope • Zoanthrope TR: 3 Tyranid Warrior [5PL, 75pts] 3 Lash Whip and Bonesword, 3 Pair of Scything Talon, Synaptic Link – Bioweapon Bond On the other side, they’re good hurting some hard-to-chew sneaky targets, like flying and/or cc specialists units with 2-3w, like shinning spears, tomb blades, agressors. Ignoring LoS is a big deal, and the range, while not great, is decent, and can be combined with onslaught (and with opportunistic advance, to threat almost any place of the board). Once you have selected an eligible unit to declare a charge, you must select one or more enemy units within 12" of it as the targets of that charge. The targets of a charge do not need to be visible to the charging unit. Glass Jars are sent at the consignees own risk. We regret neither ourselves or the carrier will take responsibility for breakages.The Great Devourer. Star Children. The Tyranids have many names. In a galaxy of inhuman dangers, the Tyranids are truly an alien race encroaching from outside of the known galaxy. Their invasions up to this point have been incredibly devastating and many researchers posit (albeit out of earshot of leadership) that what they have experienced thus far are small scouting tendrils of an overwhelming large existential threat. The name Tyranid is derived from the first planet which they were officially encountered, Tyran, which they promptly devoured. Here the game plan is to have two very buffed squads of Hive Guard. Both squads are able to have additional hits on 6s through Relentless Flurry and Symbiostorm , with Full Rerolls or 2s rerolling 1s to hit. As mentioned before, as we’re splitting our Tyranid units between Keywords, there’s much less value in the Malanthrope or Maleceptor. As such we lean harder on the combat elements, adding a Tyranid Prime with 16 more Genestealers as well as increasing the size of a squad of Hormagaunts to allow a third cheap combat threat to apply pressure through the various buffs (and the Feral Instinct stratagem, which combines with Relentless Flurry for a 2CP combo that almost feels like Genestealers). We add some more scoring through a Lictor as this list loses the easy scoring elements. The Broodlord is clearly designed to lead Genestealers and not much else. It inexplicably doesn’t have SYNAPSE, but it will provide [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] to the unit of Genestealers it leads and one enemy unit within Engagement Range will be at -1 to hit in the Fight phase.

So you’ve selected a Hive Fleet and played a few games using a basic army, now is the time to consider dedicating yourself to a larger build and buying accordingly. If you’ve read around on the internet there’s a few builds that are popular, so you might already have an idea of where you want to go. Here’s a rundown of some specific builds and what you might want to consider purchasing to fill them out. At this point the intruder and the bees are forced to encounter each other. This encounter initiates the intruder’s alarm pheromones and a guaranteed defence and fight reaction from the bees that are in the vicinity of that intruder. Both the intruder and the bees cannot control this instinctive natural behaviour. Guard bee or not, any bee that is close to the stressed intruder will show defensive behaviour. We let nature do the rest… With the release of Warzone: Octarius the Tyranids faction received a very real power boost. Notably it’s one that drives Tyranid lists away from the traditional Kraken + Kronos core by using the Hive Fleet Leviathan Supplement to provide power without doubling down on existing subfaction synergies. Leveraging the power of the supplement as well as the new Synaptic Links manages to feel similar to previous iterations of the codex’s greatest hits without being straight 1:1 upgrades.

Note: Every faction is going to receive a new 9th Edition codex eventually, so do be mindful that if you’re buying in with 8th Edition books you will find them obsolete within the coming year or two.
