You know I've never even considered Daemons in Kill Team until now, but to me it seems taking a team of 7 Pink Horrors all of which can cause a mortal wound per turn on a roll of 6+ on 2D6 even without line of sight from 18 inches away seems broken as gently caress? Sure they are squishy as gently caress but when you kill one of it creates two blue Horrors who both can also cast Psybolt. Am I missing something here? Edit: Oh you need line of sight. But still, seems very powerful! Kitchner fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Nov 27, 2019 |

Each player can only choose a single psyker in each battle round, and once all players with any psykers have done so (or have decided not to), the Psychic phase ends and the Shooting phase begins. Emphasis mine.

Ahh got it, thanks. Now I see why the fact the grey Knights can pick two models to use psychic powers is pretty good.

IDK if it changed in Elites or Commanders, but you only get to pick one model to use powers per Psychic phase. There are advantages to multiple psykers, but it's not as broken as it initially looks.

They gave Grey Knights and Thousand Sons the ability to use two psykers per turn in Elites, but it's a specific rule for each kill team that overrides the base rules, Brotherhood of Psykers/Sorcerers respectively.

Yeah those rules aren't exactly inspiring. So unlike marines who get an armywide AP bonus on all units from the start of the game just for being marines, Tyranids get to pay a command point for a -1 AP to one unit if it can first destroy something without the bonus? And Adaptive Physiology means giving up a warlord trait. Oh boy.

Appreciate some of the terrain deals from earlier, but so many of the stores are from UK/EU/AUS - anyone seen and good deals from USA/CAN? That 25EU for that one terrain kit was great but doubling it for shipping is mehhhhh

PierreTheMime posted:The next Tyranid tidbit is up, including an example of a new psychic power that is... the old version of Dominion. I'm trying to be optimistic here, but it's not exactly looking good. Adaptations look to be a literal version of Space Marine Successors, meaning you replace the trait with the two custom ones instead of any kind of additive experience, and the fact that that Adaptive Physiology replaces a Warlord trait is also pretty unfortunate. I was hoping that the new update would be an additive experience, giving Tyranids (who have the worst monofaction win rate on 40KStats at around 30%) a much needed boost in the same way that Space Marines have received in their Supplements and PA2. Instead it seems like PA3 is this weird hybrid of giving BA a major boost and maintaining the mediocrity of Tyranids. Obviously we don't have all the information, but if this article was intended to get Tyranid players hyped the way that Blood Angel players were GW definitely failed.

I didn't expect anything nearly on the level of Marines, but I'm happy for anything new for my bugs. In some lists I just kind of shrug when picking a warlord trait because it doesn't really matter if it's on something that is going to hide in the back anyway. If my warlord is a Malanthrope and I'm not playing someone who relies on psychic powers, what am I going to take? I'm not entirely happy with the restriction of removing my warlord trait option and Dynamic Camouflage doesn't seem great, but hopefully that's not the best one of them. 4+ FNP against overwatch is pretty okay for swarms, and the +8" on ranged weapons with built-in rerolls is nice.

Yah at the start of new marines I was optimistic everyone else would get fun high powered stuff. But the PA stuff for everyone else has been pretty meh at best. Sisters of Battle seem well balanced upon first review which is good but that still leaves marines with a stupid high power level. Well I guess we will see with the rest of the PA stuff.

The Hive Mind does it all the time as a method of testing evolutionary variations. Aside from the energy expended as heat, it doesn’t really lose much of anything from either side once they’re drawn back up into ships as a slurry.

Honest fluff question, are there multiple hive minds for each hive fleet, or is the hive mind singular for all nids. Do the different fleets have any sort of differences other than presumably how they've evolved based on what they encounter?

If there is one singular hive mind, then the hive fleets' connections to it require a living Norn queen - since killing them seems to break their attending fleets and stuff.

Or maybe the queens in control of the fleets have more influence and sentience than it seems and the mind is more fractured than it seems. Or maybe the fleets actually ARE unique minds with the same primal urges and desires that happen to sync up into one huge force. Basically RagnarokAngel posted:Unknown.

RagnarokAngel posted:Unknown. Nid fluff is pretty light and most of it is written from the perspective of humans trying to guess at it. I think it works best that way. Latest fluff from the hive minds perspective is absolutely explicit that the hive is entirely one singular entity that inhabits and guides every fleet and their actions simultaneously. It will have fleets fight and merge occasionally to combine their genes and biomass and will develop certain fleets for certain roles. One of my favorite fluff bits is that since hive fleet kronos is designed to hunt demons it is always starving for biomass, so instead of hunting imperial outposts out of the way of its mission other hivefleets only half digest planets in its pathway so it can feed off of them. The hivemind is also develiping something of a personality and is making tactical moves based on grudges now. Which to he fair for a multi limbed entity in every location at once is less obsessive than if it was a single actor. Devastation of baal goes into even further detail if you want to know more. Every Lictor is also The Lictor which is fun, as long as the biomass is absorbed , success or failure, all the different organisms that make up the lictor share their knowledge throughout every tyranid hivefleet. I havent read it yet because i didnt get the deluxe edition but supposedly darkness in the blood goes into even more detail about what the hivemind entity is.
