Prior to the army set and codex release, GW revealed details on new units every week in October 2022, including tasty previews of: The Leagues of Votann are a newly released faction, whose codex first went up for preorder on September 17, 2022. 6th Edition (2012-2014) 2014 - Codex: Tyranids (6th Edition) Hive Crone. This is a smaller book than the Space Marines release, clocking in at only 120 pages. The Blood Angels Codex Supplement was released on December 5, 2020. Warhammer 40,000 Codex (plural "codices", but "codexes" is also occasionally used) is the name of a source book for Warhammer 40,000 armies and factions containing background information, pictures, and rules. The same weapon rarely works against this warlord twice, as its alien physiology adapts at an astonishing rate to counter the attacks of the foe. Adrenal Surge lets you pick a unit youve upgraded with Adrenal Glands (generally worth the points) and give them either +1A for non-MONSTERs or +d3A for the big bugs. And since its aMONSTER, it canshoot within Engagement Range you dontwant to get bogged down against this tentacled terror. Units of Gaunts, Rippers, and even Gargoyles suddenly can be real threats. Leviathan Patrol Blade Parry was changed from a 3+ invulnerable in melee to reducing the Damage characteristic to 0 for the attack with the first failed save in melee. You can also nab custom AdMech-themed player aid datacardsand dice alongside the codex. In Octarius this was specific to a set of command phase buffs, but in the book its been rolled out a bit wider most notably to some of the psychic powers. Can replace the scything talons for rending claws for 5 S6 ap-4 1d attacks. What about nastier monsters? I expect well end up writing a what needs a nerf article for some of this in the fullness of time, and unlike with some of the previous books where there were ominous vibes, but it wasnt entirely clear what would emerge on top once you layered on all the options, here I feel like I could draft it today and be confident of being 80%+ correct on reviewing it after a month of events. This is good on pretty much anything, but also happens to be the fixed trait for Deathleaper, which is a major contributing factor to them being a total nightmare and likely fixture in most lists. Its been observed in a growing number of war zones across the galaxy, but it was on the planet of Mortrex that this bat-winged nightmare was first sighted. If youve jammed 30 Gaunts right into the opponents face ahead of a charge this is going to be a huge hit, and even a couple of monsters gets this onto parity with Smite, so this will definitely be good some of the time and its free, so great! Carnifexes are CORE, mind, so even when you are restricted theres still fun stuff to do! The Leagues of Votann wrapped up all theWarhammer 40k Xenos codexes, whiletheAstraMilitarum(Imperial Guard) codex that was packed in with the Cadia Stands box setwrapped up all the Warhammer 40k Imperium of Man armies. save. On a 6+ (boosted for FEEDER TENDRILS unit, which importantly includes Deathleaper) you get a free Command Point, and three extra VP the first time that happens. Thank You, Patrons. Codex: Tyranidsis making its way inexorably towards fans, presumably to devour them or at least their hobby time. it followed a similar template to the Beast Snagga launch: the boxed set was available for a short time and included a limited-edition copy of the new codex, which released independently a few weeks after. As a reminder youre only allowed one model with the HIVE TYRANT keyword (including The Swarmlord) per detachment. Its 88 pages long, and features additional lore for theSons of Russ,a bestiary and unique Sagas rulestoform custom, ever-changing Warlord Traits for your Space Wolves commanders. It seems like Genestealers in general took a hit here and the Broodlord will probably be more at home in a cult. Each time thisWARLORDwould lose a wound, roll one D6: on a 5+, that wound is not lost. And of courseweapon buffshelp bring the army up to par. Probably not very good, as Rippers are mediocre, but flavourful and fun. The Tyrannofex does end up losing out on shots from no longer firing twice, but again sees a massive boost on those it does have (as well as BS3+), with the rupture cannon being a monstrous S14 and Dd6+4. The same cant be said of Crusher Stampede. This aptly-named ability allows models to fight if they are within 2 of any enemy units, meaning you can pile on plenty more bodies in every Fight phase. You do get more bang for your points, with both getting a 5+ save, Termagants getting S5 AP-1 fleshborers (though their version of the devourer has been downgraded), and Hormagaunts getting a third attack and AP-1, but in the current metagame theres a lot of stuff that will still just sweep these off. Theres also some Overwatch suppression and boosts to shooting here, which are nice but probably dont end up as the things you need. share. Exocrines can now move and fire without penalty and only lose an ignore-cover bonus going over half distance. Were not going to mention this every time it comes up, but the baseline power of monsters can be assumed to be up from previous incarnations. f aCHARACTERmodel is yourWARLORD, you can use the Hive Fleet Warlord Traits table below to determine whatWarlordTraitthey have. Every big bug in the army is improving, but were going to take a look at two of the biggest winners in a codex that is absolutely packed with more grisly gargantuans than you shake a bonesword at. Very strong and a great candidate for Winged Hive Tyrants to quickly deliver some pain and also horrible news for Phoenix Lords, Ctan and the like. The ones that seem to really push their units are Corrosive Viscera for units with Acid Blood, most notable for Pyrovores, and Enfolding Strike for the new Parasite of Mortrex. Theyre also a 9W character, meaning they can be protected by other monsters, which unfortunately for everyone else can include a Hive Tyrant that is, itself, being Bodyguarded by Tyrant Guard. Also returning unchanged is Synaptic Channeling, letting a caster share the powers of all your others, which can certainly be useful for ensuring that your Maleceptor knows enough powers to fully go off, and goes great with Power of the Hive Mind for an extra cast. These start extremely strong with Alien Cunning, providing ObSec and the ability to count as five models for objective purposes (plus Action after Advancing or Falling back, but thats not super relevant). Oof, OK. For all intents and purposes, these units work more like a token or marker than an actual model. In the same month, the Astra Militarum (aka Imperial Guard) finally got their 9th Edition codex, packed in with the Cadia Stands bundle. Tyranids get a drop pod in the form of the Tyrannocyte, a beefy affair that stays mobile after landing, brings some guns of its own (though only at BS5+) and can either bring in a lot of small infantry, up to six medium infantry models, or one monster of 16W or less. See all details . Whether through rows of bristling antennae or clusters of glistening compound eyes, this warlord can sense the location of its prey with unerring accuracy. Codex Chaos Space Marines turned up just as June turned into July, and Chaos Daemons straddled August and September.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, Hive Guard are sadly joining Dark Reapers in the prison for units that were too good in 8th Edition. Gorgon is clearly built for a horde list, which sadly means that it suffers somewhat from the hordy units in this book maybe being a touch overpriced. The Lurk list really stands out, but all three have some good choices, and because of Hyper Adaptation existing were going to flip our normal script and talk about the custom trait options first. There are a lot of units in this book that are suddenly very scary when fully re-rolling, so this is a definite draw, and its kind of why Gorgon has a big question mark over it very similar lists as Hydra can still use this to punch up, and have access to Hunt biomorphologies to help reach combat. Now, most units in the book contend for your attention/points and make list design interesting. Customer reviews and photos may be available to help you make the right purchase decision! Unstoppable Swarm isnt super flashy, allowing you to ignore movement and charge penalties, but up against some of the top armies in the meta this is actually an effect you want, so being able to flex it on isnt bad. This is a prime candidate for either Dermic Symbiosis or Synaptic Enhancement Adaptive Physiologies, as the former keeps your mighty beast going longer and the latter allows you the benefits of Synaptic Imperatives and also shove Shadow in the Warp down enemy psykers throats early on. Theyre only 30pts each, and chucking a unit of three into Strategic Reserves presents a pretty real concern for opponents. Theres some nice stuff here overall, and while its probably eclipsed by big monster mash lists out of the gate, theres some depths worth serious exploration. There are also a few auto-hitting weapons in this book with 18 range, so adding the range means you can get the boosted AP out of reserves, good news for Pyrovores in particular. Our impression of how the most powerful builds are going to play is using Carnifexes as roaming threats that keep the enemy occupied, Harpies as overwhelming fire support, then a mixture of Maleceptors going Mortal Wound crazy and Flyrants using Tyrant Guard and the various evasive strats to stay safe to provide big damage output thats tricky to respond to. Big guns arent just for killing big targets, though, and when quantity rules over quality, the fleshborer hive is king. It can do this turn 1, which rules. If so, then good news with a great thundering of chitinous feet, the 9th Edition Tyranid Codex has arrived, bringing improved datasheets, new tools and some terrifying combos to a tabletop near you. The 152-page book has already been received by many players as one of 9th editions strongest faction codexes, with widespread buffs to the armys core Orders mechanic; the new Turret Weapon rule allowing tanks to shoot their big gunsmuch more consistently than before;some very dangerous-looking new units; and considerable buffs to some old ones. 5x Tyranid Warrior 145pts There were plenty of rules updates for Tyranidslovers to tuck into, though. $59.50. It does mean that after next weeks Balance Dataslate (hopefully) takes the existing leaders down a peg were probably due some spicy Tyranid win rates for a few months (or habanero turbo spicy if Crusher stays), but bringing things in line will be pretty doable. ++Powers: Psychic Scream, Maleceptor 170pts (note: as written this stratagem doesnt work at all, but it will presumably be corrected immediately so that it functions as above, and this is how we expect TOs to run it). Multiple editions of Venomthropes being easy to snipe out have made me wary of fielding them, but considering how durable they are now Im strongly considering swapping them in for the Malanthrope. Most monsters and larger model units are costed on a per-unit basis, whereas horde units are costed per-model which can quickly bloat the cost of your swarms. Gunum: This is one that I absolutely adore. Now its out in the wild, and includes a multitude of datasheets, Strategems, Relics, Warlord Traits, and more for the most fastidious enforcers of Imperial might. With a cerebral cortex that pulsates with the irresistible power of the Hive Mind, this warlord acts as a blazing synaptic beacon to the lesser creatures of the swarm. Each Hive Fleet can draw on two of the three lists, and this gives you a wealth of ways to adapt to what youre facing on the table. There are some very, very nasty weapons available to your monsters, so this rules, and its totally fine on big squads of Hormagaunts too. You can order it from the GW webstore now. GW shied away from releasing any hard-and-fasttimings for upcoming codexes after that, as the underlying production issueshampering book releases persisted. Incredibly good, next. Aside from just generally strong units, the variety gives you a host of great Synaptic Imperatives to choose from. Fortunately minor datasheet tweaks are fairly easy to embrace. At that point, youre quite likely to be safer planning around Teleport Homers instead. The codex released alongside revamped, plastic Khorne Berzerkermodelsand a spectacular new model for the World Eaters primarch, Angron. 8.11 x 0.47 x 11.06 inches. You can also purchase an Infestation Node marker that they can drop down either when they deploy or as an Action, which adds models back into a nearby unit till its removed. Good news, theres a strat that can add that back in and causes 6s to explode. That book finally arrived in late January 2021. Considering its applications are somewhat limited, its warp charge is a little high but Tyranids have enough bonuses to psychic rolls baked in its not a huge obstacle for a lot of units, and when this is good its really good. Ordinarily, models only get to fight if theyre within Engagement Range or within of a buddy who themselves is within of the enemy. -1 hit in melee, Unique weapon called Ravenor talons S:U Ap-2 1d and scything talons. Strictly Necessary Cookie should be enabled at all times so that we can save your preferences for cookie settings. Dominating the Psychic Phase looks like something that Tyranids will excel at, and this suite of tricks is going to be a lynchpin in lists built around doing so. Start Competing: Chaos Space Marines Updated! The new codex for the Imperial Knights codex packs Knightly teachings that can buff up your (relatively) little Armigers, and the Code Chivalric, which gives boosts. The Warhammer 40k Eldar codexwent to pre-order on February 26, 2022, and was up for sale the following week, on March 5. You can grab yourself a copy from theGW webstore now. It synergizes with Maleceptors (more powers), makes every monster significantly harder to kill, makes the Synergistic Imperative of Zoanthropes less necessary, has a lot of powerful traits and Stratagems, and has minimal downsides. The release schedule forGames Workshops 9th editionWarhammer 40kcodex army bookswasrepeatedly thrown off course first by the UKsreturn to covid lockdown in late 2020, then by an ongoing plague of printing and supply chain issues that has persisted into 2023. Do you want to unleash a horde of terrifying monstrosities and chittering, bladed bugs to make that a reality? This warlord possesses highly sophisticated neural pathways, allowing it to identify priority strategic assets and seize them before the foe even recognise their value. These wound anything exceptVEHICLESorTITANICfoes on a roll of 2+, which means the Toxicrene will effortlessly tear apart even the most elite infantry with its flailing feelers. ++Synaptic Enhancement, Patrol -2CP The key takeaway is to always be buying Adrenal Glands most things with access hit a meaningful strength breakpoint by taking them. For example, if a Hive Tyrant wants to use a Synaptic Link ability, and has a Zoanthrope within 12 of it, then it can pick a target thats either within 12 of itself or within 12 of that Zoanthrope. Their fixed trait gives them +1S in the first round of combat, potentially handy both for pushing big beasts to the key S8 or 9 break points and jumping smaller stuff to S4 or 5. Tyranid armies have always been guided by powerfulSYNAPSEcreatures, living psychic relays for the Hive Minds control but these vital beasties are now packing a set of all-new powers known asSynaptic Imperatives. There are a couple of key old favourites that return to kick off though. ++Monstrous Bonesword and Lashwhip With new rules, point adjustments, stratagems and units. Opposing units cant end a move on top of them, but can otherwise move through them unimpeded, they dont get zoned out by them for Deep Strike purposes, and these units are ignored for mission objective purposes and Look Out Sir. The Harpy is one of the most terrifyingly pushed datasheets weve seen in a long while, and is genuinely an immediate contender for best unit in the entire game its essentially an Archaeopter Stratoraptor and Fusilave stapled together with a melee statline as well. Finally, if the enemy warlord is brutally eaten, you get another three bonus VP. Yes, there are potent offensive relics available generally, but those relics wont help you if your character is a smoking crater before it gets to where it needs to be. Thedelayed new Death Guardcodex (9th editions first rulebook released for a Chaos army) went up for pre-order on January 16, 2021, and was released on January 23. 3 Warriors, 3 Deathspitter, 3 Dual Boneswords, flesh hooks 80, No Slot Downlod Tyranid Codex for free (I know it's not legal) Hey everyone, I am trying to get into 40k and Tyranids and want to get a read of the codex/the datacards of the units before I decide on it as I heard 9th edition kinda fucked them over a bit.
