If a vehicle charges you, I wonder if that locks you into a combat with it or it's just a 1 round thing like before.

Looks like the stream is up, but you have to be logged into Facebook. I'll just wait for other people online to summarize it.

Finally Power Swords will actually be worth taking! +1 Attack is not really what I imagined a Chainsword doing, but I won't complain about them finally getting some effect.

Can Hormagaunts advance and charge in the same turn, or is it unique to Genestealers?

I wanna see some Primaris assault guys. Seems weird that we haven't seen any at all. A full unit of eviscerators or something would be rad.

Do we know what 2 pairs of Monstrous Scything Talons even does? I was under the impression that the usual Carnifex build was a pair of Crushing Claws and a pair of Scything Talons, but I came in after the days of the Carnifex.

xtothez posted:Here are the earlier leaks that seem to tie up with these point costs: So comparing 2 Scything Talons pairs against Crushing Claws + Scything Talons comes down to do I want Str6 and re-roll 1s to hit, or do I want Str12. With so much T7 and T8 showing up now, I wonder how useful Str6 would even be.

The Bee posted:Checking the webstore, Carnifexes (Carnifii?) are Elite instead of Heavy Support. Thankfully, there's an all-Elite detachment too, so same rules apply. Bad news is that means no thropes, but the good news is it means you can bring along a Trygon to babysit your gaunts or a Malceptor to fill the psyker role. Eh, Venomthropes only benefit Infantry now anyway. Fill that Elites up with Carnifexes and then put a bunch of Exocrines or something in Heavy Support and go nuts. Adrenal Glands on monsters (or anything really): worth it? They're +1" to Advances and Charges. I'll probably put them on my Hormagaunts, at least.

drat, the Tyrannofex doesn't have a 2+ save anymore? Guess that means there are probably no 2+ saves in the entire Tyranid roster, then. Not sure if the Acid Spray or the Rupture Cannon would be better now.

Haven't had a chance to read; if I want to spawn Termagants with a Tervigon, do I need to set aside the points for them?

I made a random Tyranids list that I'm going to use in my first test game of 8th edition. My buddy will probably be using Necrons, maybe Tau if we play 2 games. I'm really just trying random stuff to see what it's like, but here they are. Tyranids 1 (1000 pts) Hive Tyrant w/ Monstrous Scything Talons, Heavy Venom Cannon, Adrenal Glands, Catalyst power 30x Hormagaunts w/ Adrenal Glands Lictor 3x Zoanthropes w/ Neurothrope, Onslaught power 5x Raveners w/ Rending Claws 2x Carnifexes w/ 2x Monstrous Scything Talons, Bio-plasma, Adrenal Glands Mawloc I was going to burrow the Raveners just to try that mechanic out. I made another list as well just to try out some other stuff, but I don't know if we'll get the chance to play a 2nd game. Tyranids 2 (996 pts) Broodlord w/ Catalyst power 15x Genestealers 15x Genestealers 3x Hive Guard w/ Impaler Cannons Maleceptor w/ Adrenal Glands, The Horror power Biovore Mawloc

goose willis posted:My Tyranid friend (who doesn't post here) has the following questions about Tyranids in 8th edition: I think dual Heavy Venom Cannons on the Harpy looks pretty decent now, but I haven't had a chance to actually test it yet. Tyranid Warriors are pretty cool with dual Boneswords and Devourers. They can do a little bit of everything and are still pretty cheap. Plus, the Prime buffs both their shooting AND melee hit rolls. That's all I really know for now though.

Have there been any rumors of new plastic basic Chaos Marines/Havocs lately? Khorne Berzerkers as well. I'm curious about doing a themed World Eaters army but I would never attempt it until those awful models get resculpted. I do like the new plastic Kharn a lot.

Here's a list of random crap I wanna try out that I'm running Saturday. The Hormagaunts are riding with the Trygon Prime. Raveners: Do I run them across the board or burrow them?
