Which Tyranid Is Best at Shooting? | Warhammer 40k Tyranids 10th Ed 

Loving these weekly+ videos brother man! Think you're doing a great job and always look forward to seeing them in my feed. Keep it coming 🍻

IMO, these sorts of videos are awkward. loads of mathhammer is required to make these sorts of videos useful to everyone. that obviously takes a load of time, and even the best at mathhammer will often get things wrong. doing a basic version of it, with a minimal amount of mathhammer, means that there's a lot of assumptions and made, personal choices are involved, and some of the maths isn't totally accurate. so, videos like this always end up being misleading in some way. i'm not faulting you, Craig, that's just what happens when this type of thing is done by spending a sane amount of time on it :) one standout to me is that the the termagants don't have have lethal hits. when they're used as damaging units in a competitive army, they'll definitely have lethal hits, at least at the start of the battle! not giving them lethal hits, and them listing them as the worst shooting unit, is likely to make some players avoid using termagants without fully researching them. not including detachment buffs is fair enough for time purposes, tho the invasion fleet buffs make some units genuinely competitive, instead of being pretty bad in other detachments. as it is, there's definitely some useful info here, but IMO it really should be used as just a guideline. players should do more research before making their own conclusions :) feedback for future similar videos: - it's best to include all the popular choices (carnifex devourers, for one. also, have the carnifexes with and without OOE separately. people often say it's bad to use carnifexes without OOE, without having the numbers to prove it) - make it clear if you're including the extras in the points, eg, are you counting OOE+2 carnifxes as 250 or 390 points - remember to use all weapons, don't just use the main one (eg carnifexes) - use exact maths (eg, barbgaunts don't do 0 damage to a land raider on average, they do a fraction of a wound. keeping that accurate will let the points per wound be a real number, instead of NA :)) - it would be nice to see a version of this that includes the combined damage a unit could deal if it shoots and then charges the target. norn assimilator needs its voice heard! cheers!

Good Eye opener on how terrible they made the Norn datasheets. I have no doubts they will be fixed in next edition, or are hoping a huge points decrease at end of month.

#casinogang baby! I love the Rupture Cannon, because it can absolutely have a day on the board. IT is so much risk, but just deleting DG vehicles or Ork wagons is a TON of fun

Unit Crunch shows an Exocrine has just a 24.8% chance to do 6 or more wounds to a Land Raider (not in cover, much worse if it is in cover). In fact, it has a higher chance (36.5%) to do nothing at all. Not sure how you ended up with 6 or whether its an error.

It would be nice to pick 3/4 data sheets and check how they do with different buffs (+1 to wound from neurolictor, lethal hits from invasion…). For example lethal hits vs catan for termagants are a huge deal!

Damn. Tough break for the Emissary. 😢

exocrine,moving on

So if we see a minor points reduction on Zoanthropes, they will be almost unambiguously the best ranged option in the book? Exocrine is predictably good, nice to see the Maleceptor performing so well though. Considering how utterly cool it is, and how bad it’s rules were when the kit was first released, my alien heart-like organ is filled with what the lesser prey species might term ‘joy’.

sad to see that warriors are still overcosted compared to what they do :( but still shows that the nids weapons are just to weak, i remember in older editions where a venom cannon followed lore and where good vs tanks.

“Born Emmissary’ stats are in its bulk” Norn shoots at guardsman Guardsman survives no problem Guardsman sneezes Norn dies

9:09 you can pretty much x that by 2 for the hive guard with over watch

I rolled for weapon upgrade on my Tyrannofex gun in crusade and rolled +1 attacks and +1 AP 😂😂😂 So 50% more shots And even with cover still AP -4 Has been SLAUGHTERING stuff since then

Exocrine Zoanthropes. I wonder how the termigant's numbers would look like if they had the buff from a tervigon tho

For the tranafex did you add the Stinger salvo that is can also shoot with its main weapon?

If the tyrannofex doesn't move it hits on a 2 plus and rerolls one's if you shoot the exocrine first, wounds almost everything on a 2+ or 3+ and if you get a low damage roll you can do a cp reroll. My tyrannofex has been putting in a lot of work for me.

Off video topic but I’m curious. How has ur future proof terrain been holding out for u? Mine is thankfully on the first shipment and pretty pumped up about it!

You keep bringing such amazing content.

I can't find where it says what bioplasma or spinebanks do

Warriors and barbgaunts are actually quite good against 20x units, because they both have large number of blast weapons. Should have had at least one unit considered that was a 20x man (either at the guardsman/intercessor base level, for instance a 20x gargoyle unit or a 20x Primaris Crusader Squad). Primes are always just bad for ranged warriors, so you should never have that added. Really wish Fleshborer Hive had a higher strength (6-8) or -1 AP. Even at 6S, it would be quite good against C'tan. I'm surprised the Barbed Hierodule was not included, at least for comparison sake.

What about barbed hierodule?

What about barbed hierodule?

Thanks! I love these type of videos. I just learned a few days ago that you get "each" special weapon for the Ternagants, twice within a 20 man unit. Ngl, felt pretty stupid about it. That is quite an amount of dmg wasted on my part. Random Tyranid questions i m still not 100% sure about: Can you reroll abilities like the D3 healing from Old One Eyes? And do you get the standard melee claws and teeths, no matter what loadout you choose on top of everything else?

We love bugs that shoot!

I was just going to ask if you would make a video for range units lol. perfect timing and great job! note : i progress a lot with your videos

Would have liked to see a neurotyrant with the hive mind enhancement on here. Its pretty lethal

Thank Combo terma spinefists + tervigon is good 😉 Like it

The Hierophant's Twin Dire Bio-cannons? I know points per wound would be abysmal and it doesnt really belong in a standard game, but i just printed one and id love to know how its guns stack up. Seem good on paper.

Another great video

Barbgaunts really needed indirect

zoanthropes do not do 9 wounds to a landraider. without enemy using aoc or cover it does an average of 7. with cover or aoc 5. with both 3.
