| Just collected 3 proper copies of Epic Raiders and have to congratulate all concerned for an excellent production. Worth every penny. To my mind such a fan based supplement is about the only support Epic is likely to receive so hopefully there will be more of them. |

| Thanks as well Col! Certainly look like they could be used in the Nid army. Great find. |

| Hi Legion 4 - can you post any pics of the 10mm Alien Pendraken figures you use as Raveners. I was thinking of using my 40K rippers as a basis for my Malinthropes but need inspiration for Raveners. Any photos would be appreciated. |

What is a Catalyst? (in reference to the Tyranid list)
I assumed it was a spore (spawning enhancer). |

While I feel it is a step in the right direction, are we still not in the situation where I attempt a Hold action with an Instinctive unit, fail the test and take a Hold action anyway?
I prefer Markconzs take on this particular part of the rules. |

| Have to agee with making the Hive tyrant 4+ RA - they were certainly too vulnerable before. Our group had thought of moving the artillery to independant - Dactylis, Exocrine and (possibly) Biovores. The Hive Mind would be unlikely to need synapse creatures to pass on complex instructions. They would... |

I actually think the rules you have produced here are about as clear as they can be made and are a good step forward. I think keeping the "fluff" up front and disti... |

| I`ve played a few games with Saim Hann now and I like the list pretty much as is. I think the SR of 3, the lack of guardians all make more for a characterful list. IMO we just need to firm up on the cost of the wild rider clans and upgrades (need full points not a discount) and the list will about a... |

| QUOTEWell I certainly think that it is needed. It allows the Tyranids to react a lot differently to enemy than fixed swarms.

| QUOTETyranids should be very random. They have machine-like mind set, but they are not machines. Biological world is not very predictable and I certainly don't want to see Tyranids as predictable enemy. Making things fixed will mean that you can prepare for it (as enemy) and thus counter the effect... |
