Tyranids

Yeah, they've just decided that can wait for the indexing, which, you know, fair enough.

Tyranids are in third, 40 players, 4.4% of the meta, 57% win rate, two event wins, three top fours, nine top tens, and a 1.21%.

And then after them is Tau Empire, 48 players, 5.3% of the meta, 54.5% win rate, one top four, five top tens, and a 0.34. And then top five rounded out by World Eaters, 32 players, 3.5% of the meta, 54.5% win rate, two event wins for World Eaters, four top fours, eight top tens, and a 2.02 over it.

Good job, World

Melt.

John Johnson has the next question, which is, help me as I lie comatose in bed all day with a fever.

What should I take to my post-Space Marine Codex September local league? I'm between Emperor's Children, Votan, and blowing the dust off my Tyranids.

You

All right.

Anyway, last time we talked, you basically convinced me that if the Tyranids ever show up anywhere in reality, the whole galaxy's fucked.

Yeah.

Like, there's nothing like that.

And then it got me thinking about, like, you know, what if something came from another galaxy? And the answer is they wouldn't be able to stand up to the Tyranids, but...

I do want to talk about a group that came from the other galaxy.

And as we talked about last time, it's the Yuuzhan Vong.

The Yuuzhan Vong thought nothing of suicide attacks, as you could imagine, and they valued aggression above all else in a fight.

So these are the kind of players that did really well early on.

Always nice to see Tyranids up there with quite a lot of 100 scores.

So that's awesome.

And, ah, okay, Evasion Fleet.

So let's have a look here because we like to keep our Tyranids fans happy because we're really good at Tyranids.

Tyranid Prime with Lash Whip and Hormigants.

Tyranid Prime with Lash Whip and a Brick of Hormigants.

We've got double Maliceptor, Neolictor, Tyranifex, and a little unit of Von Ryan Sleepers.

He then says, Shadow third member? I'm down with that.

Yeah, I have a buddy that I play with at the Friendly Little Games store, and he keeps his Tyranids in a plastic bin.

Not at the bottom of a plastic bin, not arranged, maybe magnetized in a plastic bin.

I'm talking, it's deep, like a milk crate, and he just has them piled on top of one another.

We'll get through.

Um, but yeah, this episode's gonna be, uh, about Tyranids.

I'm excited for this one.

It's one of these episodes I kind of stumbled across accidentally.

It's not like some major, um, you know, it's not like a Primark or even like a name character that you know about.

Um, but with Tyranids, yeah, it's kind of like they evolve and adapt, and they get all these new species and all these new branches and lines and stuff.

So we're gonna go down one of these different branches and explore all these forgotten and maybe useless, maybe too dangerous, maybe it only had a use for a day, all these different species that the Tyranids have come up with.

Um, it kind of is a throwback to, like, 2000s when there's a little more creativity in GW.

way you said last week was really interesting where it was like they they are the the point that the game is based around yeah and because they're like six point that that is another big that's that's the other reason i'd say why they the game could really shrink because if all the thousand suns all the world eaters all the death guard all the um sky empress children all your space marines care space marines sisters of battle maybe you know stuff like that yeah but like you know like those sort of things if they all go up in toughness the game will get smaller and that's really interesting i think it'll make the horde armies feel more like hordes and the armies feel more and that was another thing as

well that they they were going through in the video uh we had people asking about this i don't understand why you'd ask this because it kind of defies change and, you know, imbalance in these changes, is, oh, does everything else, like, your Tyranid Warriors and everything, do they go up? It's like, well, no.

Because they reiterated, and rightly so, this is a Space Marine change.

Nothing else should go up until it isn't a power-up.

I do think they're probably going to have to look at how Biobos work.

No, no, no, no, they don't need to.

To balance Tyranids.

Easily the best 8-to-sheet in the comics.

yeah

so i don't i don't and and i was never really that big of a starcraft fan anyway i just felt it it was just too close to to 40k and gw the space marines look like space marines from 40k and i knew it and at some point i knew that they had been working with games workshop that's why they're real the space marines and the zerg are real similar to the Tyranids and the Space Marine faction did 40K.

But I just don't understand the huge buy-in that these stores are pushing.

And I'm like, but it's an unproven game.
