Nids are here. For a week everyone has been complaining about how lame and bad is the new codex, why did they get so nerfed...but I actually love it. I think it's challenging, as tyranids always had been. You will have to master the way to play them properly, been aware of your synapse connection at any time. My only complaint about the new codex was the disappearance of so many unique independent characters. They could've just nerf them too...
But one of the things that actually surprised me was the new "battle force". Normally with every battle force you save a few dollars, but not much...with this one you save close to a 40%!! It gives you the basics to start your own army. Yeah, you're missing an HQ, but who cares? You can use the Carnifex as Old One Eye, and there goes your HQ. If you get a Tervigon, you basically have a decent army already to start playing around with your new Nids.
Hormagaunts and Termagaunts are 72$ for 20 models. 72x4=288$
Gargoyles are 48$
Carnifex is 83$
The total is 419$
GW is selling this kit for 265$!
That's a huge saving. I think if you guys wanna start or add some more models to your Tyranid army, this is a great idea. After all, you never have enough gaunts in your army...
