Tyranid Hive Tyrant Deep Dive | Warhammer 40k Tyranids 10th Ed 

Damn, I really feel like I missed out on the Tyranids glory days by starting in 10th edition😢

The foot Tyrant + 6 Hive Guard really benefits from the +1 strength enhancement in Assimilation swarm. Plus Swarmlord in Unending swarm gives you the CP to regen a squad of Gargoyles turn 1.

Wow great timing. I just started working on the hive tyrant in my Onslaught Swarm box. Thanks for the deep dive!

It blows my mind to see how little people use the fight first hive tyrant. It literally cant die in engagement, and if the fail to kill all 6 hive gaurd there all back cause of the regen. Its cp out put for assimilation swarm is next level you get 2 cp with heroic intervention protecting your neroulictory from first turn assults, then all you need to do is pack it with a pyrovore escort and boom it always has fight first and a little flammer. Plus since they dropped the full block of tyrant gaurds down to 200pts you get a free ripper swarm with that and that can also regen them and give them fight first. Okay so thats awesome now he also give you a free re roll a turn, so the tyrannofex riptide cannon misses to wound or you fail a save just re roll it it can generate four cp pure battle round! Then when he gets into your opponent line if they havent cleared your gaurd squad it becomes impossible cause now hes using his free cp on regening his gaurds after eating your squad, then your hero then your next hero all becoming gaurds and they cant do anything cause the tyrants fighting first! Muahahahahahhah

Found your old video of this just yesterday thinking that it needed an update. Fantastic!

the winged HT should just have the feet be ekstra attacks then you chose another weapon be it ranged or melee. or to make it fit. ranged + feet attacks or Melee + feet attacks with extra attack on.

nice touch having the groin piece on your tyrant torsos. When I was looking for one most of the ones I saw didn't include it.

Just bought your Tyrant Torso! Saved me 50 bucks !

You’re the guy who got me into Nids!

Currently trying to convince myself the winged tyrant is the best choice, because thats the one I wanna paint.

Yes amigo, I actually so happened to need a few tyrant bodies. Need one now and a few in the future once I’m done all these gaunts. Just picked up a few. Thanks for letting us know u have a quality body 👍

Oh hell yea!!! Will absolutely be buying that torso I kept by sprews for months just to have extra monster bits but now I can make another model?!?! Good lookin out!

The objectively correct answer is always Flyrants. You can trust me, I only own 6.

i got the last torso, lucky me!

Extra attacks can be buffed, just not bonus/number of attacks.

10:34 ooooooooooooooooooooh that makes sense lol😊

Thanks 👌

I think it would've been worthwhile to factor in the Tyrant Guard into this, given they're an important part of the Hive Tyrant's identity, not to mention just good in general and the lack of them for the flying one matters. Them being made cheaper also helps them out too. It's hard to tell if you included the possible ranged attacks into the final comparison or not as well (both the Hive Tyrant's guns and the Swarmlord's pulse, even if the Hive Tyrant can only fire on a different enemy squad while actively engaged in melee). In general I've not found the Hive Tyrant to be put in danger from firing his own weapon, especially if you have other more dangerous units the enemy doesn't want to ignore, and him giving himself assault is pretty good too. The melee damage does clearly speak for itself, though, so it's not like that doesn't have it's place. The Hive Tyrant has always been my favorite Tyranid, so I'll always be happy to bring him out to the battlefield. I'd like him to get a points decrease, sure, but for what he's at he's more than worth it for the sheer utility and support that he brings. Having the original be the best of the three this time around is just really nice.

3:44 100% agreed lol

12:31 ya the cp isnt great in the assimilation swarm but its enhancements like gosh make his unstoppable

Ill Buy the torso as soon as you can deliver to Canada! Gotta support :)

Darn, no Canadian shipping. Great video(s) regardless. Always look forward to seeing a new one.

Hey love your videos and had a question since you seem very well experienced with the nids. What would you recommend I get next if I’m planning to play invasion fleet. I currently own the following: - leviathan box - 20 gargoyles - biovore - Pyrovore - norn emissary - exocrine - Haruspex - Zoanthropes - neurolictor I was considering getting maybe a deathleaper, hive tyrant or a maleceptor but wanted some opinions first

Do you recommend using the Swarmlord with 3 Tyrant Guards with crushing claws? It`s the only tyrant i have.

Excellent timing. I’m working on my ass swarm list and want to include one.

I like the swarmlord only for the cp generation.

So I have a question, when you take the lash whip and bone sword on the Flyrant are you not able to also use the tyrant talons in the same fight phase? I assume that’s the case because the Monstrous Scything talons have extra attacks and the tyrant talons don’t

So far I’ve rolled a 1 on Paroxysm 4x

​ @maelstromgamingstudios5240 any chance of getting the torso shipped to Australia?

Cant u take artifacts anymore ?i loved taking the af version of the HVC in the past

I don´t think it would be too much to ask for the Stranglethorn Cannon to be S12. Do this for the Carnifex weapons and a few other weapons too, such as for the Maleceptor Strike attack and we would be decent.
