Tyranids and no other army will become as Invul/Armour heavy as SPAACE MARINNES. The Corpse God managed Storm Shields, and spams them out like candy.. Nevermind the already included 5 that most armies would kill for built in the Terminator armour. We are just bugs, organic material that although composed of raw elements be them gas, liquid or solid, (so everything) they can't be as beardy as simply saying "the Emperor Protects."
Ask the other armies(OK Wraiths have 3++) where their decent Invul squad is, they are all races that surely.... Heck even Daemons, the essence of warp/immaterium get a bolstered 4++ in the better of situations, but generally sitting at that Terminator "free" inclusion. Not counting the Warp Storm or Grimoire effects as those are army specific wargear and rules.
GW wouldn't kick their love-child in the groin like that.. I don't know how our Zoeys pulled it off, I guess they had no other viabloe option really. It isn't armoured, huge target and the Venomthrope covers "cover" now.
I am now pessimistic with our outlook, after reading through the Eldar, my other psychic race of quality instead of quantity.. Although certain units are still fun, the book as a whole for wargear/psychic powers/FOC swapping/TERRIBLE AA was underwhelming. Gimmicky new rules like battle focus are defining an Eldar, but at best ORKS get assault after running for WAAAGH not us. Nids go route of Hybrid, as would an adaptable race, that through time would realize you cant chew on everything without some assistance tenderizing first..
Psychic Powers are going to be laughable, guaranteed that FNP will be in there, just no where close to the Primaris. I see Dominion being taken from the Tervi and dumped on all Psyker Synapse as the Primaris, because it is lameish and only semi-situational. Whatever the new Synapse being..
Our MC will stay at T6 and will still need to learn how to equip that 2+.. If every army is getting a shiny MC centrepiece, I guarantee that ours stay the Cheapest/Weakest on the individual level. We may have the most of them but never have the "best" of any. Too expensive Biomass wise for its purpose. I DO understand that part. Same reason why no AP shooting, same reason why no grenades??
A weak Harpy kit will be released, with the other option being akin to the Tervigon/Tyrannofex. Harpies stay terrible, new option only good, but probably one of the FEW AA Nids.
Tyrant Guard obviously figuring out that A: one lash whip just looks stupid, and B: that other armies are doing better jobs at LOS, you are a blind wall of the Tyrants will no? Autopass only acceptable option for LOS, they could even remove their attempt at making the Tyrant a capped IC by doing so.
SITW definately +1 to Deny the Witch, there is no way that our void will overpower Eldar Ghosthelms/Wards in terms of effectiveness.
Our armywide special rules will be: OLD 4th Catalyst on puds, and IWND or basic FNP on MC, still pretending to be an INV. OH right you cant use those saves against Instagib..
I am now going to say Hierophant + Harpy kit will be the Wraithknight/Hunter, Riptide/Sunshark? match up. We will see a bigger MC, that is not flying.
AA to be in a select squad or two much like the Hive Guard and their Heavy lifting Zoey brethren. Probably in Elites with those two just because.
Midzilla STILL garbage, because its easier to keep working with the MC and puds... They don't want to touch the disaster they created. Make a new unit and problem solved. The only good MIDS are Zoey's and Guard, odd that it is almost solely because of their survivability buffs... Prime sucks, he's just a cheap HQ, but at least he's T5.
Still going with previous guess about Lictors exploding from reserves. I looked up the rules from 2nd on (from what I could find,) and I thought it was a joke that he got worse every edition. It is true though, so I stick with my thought. small blast, S6 AP5
More weak fluff involving feelings and remorse. Well we cant have allies, but it only makes sense for objectives/challenges... Yes because we care about that lone robot why? IT ALLLLLLLLL comes with us anyways.. Screw your ancient documents.. Power plant... etc.
Everything with a model release of 5th getting shafted just like what they do with every codex (OUR last hit will always hold the record for killing off armies of vets who had literally illegal armies and 100's of gants/warriors/carnis/tyrants that couldnt be fielded. I do agree a little fluctuation is nice (my Eldar thank you GW,) but that was taking it with sand, catch my drift..
Also, Cruddy will be back.. That is all
