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.

is there any chance at all that the changes could be summarised? mostly the point changes so it makes it easy for me to get everything into armyforge....

Caching problem maybe?

Assault Swarm+25 pts, big +50
Brute Swarm -25pts, big -50
biovore -10pts (was 35 now 25)
Zoantrophe -15 pts (was 50, now 35)
Harrassment swarm -2 gargoyles +25pts
Lictor upgrades -15pts (was 50 now 35)

Did I miss something?

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.

Hi Steve54,

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

Technically it´s only a nerf if you were planning to spam Assault and Harassment swarms and obviously no one would do that .

Otherwise it´s mostly a number of minor buffs.

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.
