Maybe you'd want to include a line about how various tyranid unit stats represent broad classes of creatures, like ork weapons? Some people might not like how all the basic critters are identical even across the hive fleets, so might be valuable to make it clear that the stats are meant to be an average of all the wild variations.

Very good suggestion Ulrik, if I forget please remind me of it later.

Thank You

Jaldon

If your time's so valuable, do something else. If you're not prepared to answer questions, do something else. If you're not prepared to be even minimally polite, do something else.

His question was related to the course list development will take. It was relevant. You reaction has been ridiculous.

Let me see here. Does the Squat v.4 list have anything to do with the Nids Lists, nope.

Is there any single question in the above that deals with the developement of the Nid list, or a suggestion to improve; (a) Special Rules; (b) Units Stats; (c) Orgainization, nope.

Am I running the Xenos project, nope.

The entire post and the questions in it are all pointless and inane.

From now on if a question doesn't deal with the developement of the Nid list, in the Nid developement area of Tac Command, it will be ignored.

Got any other type of questions e-mail me in person, or post it somewhere else.

Clear Enough

Jaldon

Being beyond reproach and having integrity is something that should be in any valued AC. This attitude just stinks as does the fact that you take it all so personally.

The question, at least to me, appeared to be enquiring whether there was going to be time for open development on this list. That seems important and relevant.

All my followup questions are mostly concerned with your behavior, so I guess that's that for the moment.

May we stop it now ? I'd like a nid list please.

Can I suggest that we give some time for Jaldon to digest everything? There is a LOT of information to deal with on a list that NOBODY has been able to properly balance. It seems some of you are asking questions that honestly Jaldon shouldn't answer so quickly.

Here is a question I think he can answer:

Jaldon, what sort of timeline do you have for ironing things out?

Sorry if my post was feeling like pressure on Jaldon; that's not what I meant.

What I wanted to say was that I'm not in the least interested in a discussion about the loyalty of a member of Tac com, be him an Army champion. I want to see development work on the list performed; I think it is indeed being performed quite well ATM, debates are productive, development is being done, stuff are progressing, so no need to bicker.

My comment wasn't directed at you, mighty Breather of Flame.

If you want questions about special rules, why does the nid list need the spawning rule? Are nids the only army that gets reinforcments or rallies units? Or are taking the word spawning literally? Forgive me for paying attention in biology class but how is a fully grown trygon (or any nid) just pop out of a little egg? And if armies can "shoot the big ones" can't they "step on an egg?"
I just think this rule is trying add something unique to the army that could be used by every army in the game. I like old regen rules from the space marine era

Spawning is meant to permit a much larger force to be represented using a limited number of physical figures, and IMHO it also represents the difference between the 'perceived' size of the Nids forces (what you can see on the table) and their 'actual' size (so you get the feeling of stuff coming in from outside the battle-vision of the opposition).

Note, the one thing it is not meant to represent is resurecting the dead - that is Necrons

For me, spawning mostly represents random units that are lost on the battlefield wandering into synapse range and coming under control. It can also represent things like mycetic spore drops, raveners tunnelling up, and even actual birth (Tervigons, Dominatrix and Spawning Pools)

So basically reinforcments. Isn't this something that is in every army?
