After looking at how they have performed at tournaments and listening to feedback the Tyranid and Tau Codexes have now been updated http://epic-uk.co.uk/wp/army-lists/ The Tau list now matches the current approved Tau NetEA list (6.8 I believe). Also the Ulani, Skitarii and Vanaheim reference sheets have been updated with typos that have been reported. These updates will be legal for all upcoming EUK events starting with Wrath of the Tyrant. Thanks to all the committee and testers who have helped with these updates. |

Bigger Lictor formations Zoantrophe now Armoured Vehicle Carnifex now Fearless Bigger titans get more shots and Hierophant gets FF4+ Idea is to give more options and make the Assault Swarm slightly less desirable. |

[whinge] 34%/32%/34% W/L/D for Epic UK nids. Not sure a nerf was necessary... [/whinge] |

Hi Steve54, "After looking at how they have performed at tournaments and listening to feedback the Tyranid and Tau Codexes have now been updated" Would be able to explain a little bit of your concerns regarding nids performance and what the specific feedback was? I think the price drops were warranted on the units. But I don't think the price increase was necessarily warranted. Cheers Jim |

Cheers Jim Nids have generally been found to be a very balanced list and a great addition to the UK tournament scene. But there is a very specific build which spams Assault and Harassment swarms with some teleporters and stealers thrown in to disrupt enemy plans that has proven a little too good. Basically the changes weaken this build while buffing other potential list styles. |
