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.

One of my friends pointed out that you can now use your vehicles to absorb overwatch.

Want to charge a unit with flamers using your acolyte hybrids? Charge that goliath in first.

Yeah, good idea. Unless you're supposed to resolve overwatch against all chargers before moving anyone in, then I don't think you can get around it.

That's what I thought, but I wondered if there were some elite IG or Tempestus model in it I didn't know about.

IG techpriests wear power armor. Dunno if I'd call a techpriest a regular human though.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

My Tyranid friend (who doesn't post here) has the following questions about Tyranids in 8th edition:

- Are the venom cannon and/or heavy venom cannon useless?
- What is the best warrior layout, shooting-focused or melee-focused or all-purpose or what?
- Is an army based off warriors (with a Tyranid prime) and carnifexes (with Old One Eye) viable?

He hates genestealers with a passion and refuses to use them or anything involving them. Strongly dislikes gaunts of any variety. Also, he doesn't like to use the really giant monsters, like anything bigger than a carnifex. He might bend on a hive tyrant, but he really, really likes warriors the most and wants a Tyranid prime HQ. Would consider using flying units. Loves ripper swarms.

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.
