2. Every Tyranid player in the world glued a warrior head to a gaunt body?

Meee!! Everyone still asks me about them lol.

Remember when dakkafexes were like 200 pts in 5th and you could take hive guard, zoanthropes, and Venomthropes in units of 1?

lets all take a moment to remember flyrant spam back when nids were the meta champs. i have faith though. nids are still able to win we just have to be smarter when using the tools weve been given.

We don't want nids to be easy button meta chamnps because "broken combo." ...but yeah, wasn't that long ago

Dude, the devilfex was 114 points in 4th edition and could be taken as an elite choice.


Remember when marines moved 4” and tyranids moved 6” (and could run up to 12” if they didn’t shoot), effectively giving us three times the movement?

Remember when genestealer cult had one of the three platforms that could mount an assault cannon (terminators and dreadnoughts being the other two)?

And on a related note, remember artillery and sustained fire dice? You had to guess how far your weapon went and then scattered with the artillery dice. Or your weapon could roll a jam on the sustained fire die.


Fun times.

Also, remember how devastating the assault cannon used to be?

Honestly I just want an army where I can make my charges and they have to play around the fact that i'm a melee army. 

I don't like the fact that our shooting is so (please do not swear) comparatively and then armies who have better shooting than us have more effective melee options.

Hive Fleet adaptions was so smart. But why limit it to 2 per army? Our army is supposed to be customly built for our opponents because thats what nids do in the fluff. Let us have 1/4 of our list as summoning that we can deepstrike. Let us play a balance game between point tax for CP and spending that CP on things like double fight with genestealers and giving a genestealer unit +1 attack for 1CP at the beginning of the game, or vs a bolter army giving them +1 save outside of 12. 

Let us adapt our army, make our stratagems more expensive let us play a balance game. SIGHS AT GW.

Yeah i would like for adaptations to not be so restricted. Since armies already have mini warlords already (models with warlord traits without being a warlord) i dont think it would be too far fetched.
