Is there a more self-destructive codex?

[fleetofclaw]

In all seriousness, is there a more self-destructive codex than the new Tyranid codex? What other army has more potential to do ITSELF harm? Instinctive behavior having a 50% calamitous result, Tervigons blowing up gants in a 12" radius, and of course the always present threat of perils in a psyker heavy codex? Especially now that our synapse options have been choked out, I feel like my game will be just as much about mitigating the self-destructive nature of my army than building a game plan to fight my opponent. Have we overtaken Orks as the comedy relief army?

the 5th ed nids codex (maybe)

Don't forget pyrovores exploding... if anyone was stupid enough to field them

My dark angels have killed themselves with their stupid plasma plenty of times. RWknights in particular seem to hate themselves.

Huh? 6e book is way more self destructive.

Haha yeah if you run plasma everywhere I can definitely see DA contending. The plasma battery on the vengeance speeder is hilariously suicidal! Ok, I'll give DA Ravenwing honorable mention.

it was a joke, at teh time it was dropped the 5th one was about as ridiculous as this one, 6th edition itself did wonders for nids

Not in 40k
but in warhammer they have skaven
Pyrovore = really bad firethrower
bad leadership
problems with keeping your units in control
the list could go on

But its what they have given us and i dont think they will change it so all we can do is nut out a list that works and keep calm and carry on.
