Greeting Broodlings!

Here is a pdf of the updated Tyranid v9.1 rules!  

It incorporates many of the recent suggestions and changes *AND*, finally, a quick reference sheet!

Please take a look to see if there are any typos or problems and get playing!

Thanks Chroma. The quick reference is real handy.

I just caught these for next time:
- There's a missing "/" in the Harridan's Twin Bio-Cannons.
- With the 2008 Errata the Biovore no longer needs the Indirect Fire note.

Also, to you and or Jaldon. I understand with the downgrading of the Bio-cannon for the Exocrine we wanted the Bio-cannon stats for the Dom and Hierodule to remain the same. But renaming them to twin bio-cannons bugs me because the models don't have twin bio-cannons.  Couldn't we just call them "Heavy Bio-cannons" or something?

Thanks for all the work Chroma.

Just a bit disappointed I can't take my hierophants in a brood of 3 anymore (not that I tried it before  :whistle: )

Great job with the quick reference sheet.

Regards,
D.

Why there is +1 to engage and rally instead of +2? That change wasn't on Jaldons posted updates.

It was here proposed here:

http://www.tacticalwargames.net/forums/ ... 21;t=13223

I still think that Hierophants Bio Cannons need to be downgraded as it's just too good.


To the 4+/5+ stats?

Sorry to hijack slightly but how do synapse nodes work? They have no movement and cannot infiltrate.

Think of them as a static Tyranid "location"; since they have a 0cm movement, they can be garrisoned during setup in the Tournament scenario, so they can be used to guard objectives or act as a "forward base".

Does that make sense?

One question how does the vituperator use planetfall with no spaceship available? I'm guessing this is another 'free' planetfall type arrangement.

I've been lobbying for the introduction of a Hive Ship to the list (With attendant Drop Spores) for ages.

This was the proposed changes in the end
http://www.tacticalwargames.net/forums/ ... 21;t=13303
and the only +1 was left off.

OK. Well, we now have something to argue about. :))

Although considering that Jaldon was thinking of bumping the 'nid Initiative down to 1+ I think that maybe the +1 to Engage and Rally was just missed when the changes were posted.

At any rate, for all my games with 9.1 (about 6) I have found the +1 to Engage and Rally to be fine. +2 was too powerful with it's automatic retaining engage.

To the 4+/5+ stats?

Yes.

I haven't used them so can't comment. I'm just looking to get rid of the "twin" on weapons that aren't twins on the model.

Having had 8 failed activations in my last game I see your point but I don't see it as being a huge problem. When I fail I just make sure I protect my synapse and stick to cover. Or if I'm already doing that I just regroup.

A great example of this is what I did with Assault Swarm 2 throughout my last game:

I think 1+ initiative is too good for Tyranids.
