Is Tunneler worthwhile for Trygon/Raveners, or would Teleport (and probably a price bump) suffice?

Teleport for them works fine in the EUK list ; I would welcome its adoption here.

i have some concern about teleport, especially in relation to war engines. i think the current tunneller rules are probably fine (although i'd consider simply using the self-planetfall rules, which are more widely known)

I much prefer tunneller forcing them to pre-plan as it adds an extra tactical dimension to the game and means sometimes they will burrow off-target. Teleport is too easy and precise.

I don't contest that Tunneler uses a bit of forethought.

My concern is simply that the Tyranids are the slowest playing army in the game, and Tunneler adds extra time to the already slowest army.

Would say that it is best to get some games in first with this revision before trying to change it too much. From other projects I have an opinion already, but will give this ago to see if it reinforces it or not.
