I think you were referencing me, I had forgotten to edit my post before today.

I'm already in another team.

I think my bug bomb could wipe a squad a turn, if I burned 2 command points.

30 termagants with devourers = 90 shots, 45 hit, 22.5 wound, 11.25 die.  
2 Command Points Single-Minded Annihilation.  They get to do it again.

I was thinking about the Hierophant, but it's 2060 points on it's own 😞

I had wondered if the 80 other guys would deflect from the two LoW. 

I was thinking about how much shenanigans you can get away with in a 2k tyranid list.  The original version had a full brigade with a super heavy detachment, but required 6 copies of the same troop to fit in 2k.

I am trying to decide on a list that is fun and different.  I don't like that all the tyranid lists end up being multiple flyrants.

I’m thinking about a list for OFCC.  It’s not an old school list, but I want to get people’s reactions to it.

Both together according to the video. 

Redacted by the Inquisition makes me want to play the Tyranids / Genestealer Cults / Baneblade list.

I'm looking for a team.  I can play Tyranids, Sons of Medusa, Dark Angels or generic imperium. 

I have joined a team.

I'm interested in a team.  I'm in Portland and am thinking of either Tyranids or Imperium.  I have never gone to OFCC before.

Omg, i would love to run my destroyers again! Any idea on a date for the codex?

End of March is what they said with the announcement of the new box set.

I can fit a brigade and a super heavy detachment for Tyranids in 2000 points

30 models max would encourage more players to spend more time socializing.

Is more time socializing a good or bad thing?

yes, most armies got point changes in chapter approved

And if you have the digital versions of the codex it includes the point changes.  So I can't see how much the hierophant used to be.

They went up from 1500. Weapons cost 0.

That just makes me sad.  The hierophant went up in points to 2000, but one of it’s weapons has a point cost, since it’s on other models as well.

1 minute ago, InfestedKerrigan said:

Come to the Inner Sphere. We have 2000 pt Warhound Titans.

Is that including weapons?  Because the Hierophant is 2000 points plus weapons.

I just realized with the updated Chapter Approved adjustment in points the Hierophant no longer fits in a 2000 point list.  He comes out at 2060 points because you have to pay for one of his weapons.    There goes the 1 unit idea.

Whoo hoo 2k points.  I can do my 1 model army.

Page 7.  Time for more info.

I’m going to have to find a team to go with this year.  I haven’t played at OFCC yet, but playing at the clubhouse is always entertaining.

I could bring an army that is 1 LoW.

You could just be all the members of said team?

With multiple armies?

To be fair, FW also never made a Shrike model—they made Shrike wings which were discontinued because they didn't fit well at all.

I thought they fit fine.  That's what I have on all 9 of my shrikes.

I’m looking through the new codex and don’t see them listed. Am I missing it, or did they really get rid of the unit?
