Nevermind, found out. So better question. How would 3 unknown Tyranid samples increase their numbers to over 300 in a matter of days in a contained area with no other tyranids on the planet?

Everlasting Chaos Nevermind, found out. So better question. How would 3 unknown Tyranid samples increase their numbers to over 300 in a matter of days in a contained area with no other tyranids on the planet? Think of the way some simple organisms reproduce with themselves by splitting in two.. It's never stated if Nids have males and females, merely that there is a 'hive queen' - and look at those spore things on the forgeworld site that look SUSPICIOUSLY like a lotus pod. No sign of normal reproducing. If the Tyranids are just biomatter that is to be assigned as required, as suggested in older fluff, it's possible that the three genetic samples' instinctive behaviour was to reproduce. 300 samples in a few days is feasible.

Actually the spores released by those towers are designed to corrupt the native plants and animals of the planet. This causes the plants to grow spines and poisonous thorns, and the animals to become more aggressive. It essentially removes the home-planet advantage for the defending armies.

I wonder what would happen if they attacked a craftworld then...

Yeah, that would be Iyanden.
I really should brush up on my fluff.
I'm just far too broke to go buy all the damned books.

-Mykal I don't think I saw anywhere that mentioned the rules for that claw being in an Imperial Armour. And it normally tells you what book the rules would be found in.

Okeyday. I'm in need of some serious assistance here! Willing to take any and all advice, because I need it badly.
I have a Tyranid army of about 1,500pts, and I've played about seven games in total.
Problem is, I've lost every single time. I can't hold a tactic together, and a lot of the times my army is too close combat ready and I don't have enough bio-weapons to hold off all the incoming fire...
I'm really new to this and meed some help. My two friends play Tau and Imperial Guard, and any suggestions would help a TON. crying crying

I'm really new to this and meed some help. My two friends play Tau and Imperial Guard, and any suggestions would help a TON. crying crying I don't really hold much stock in bio-weapons. They do their part, but they really aren't the shining jewel of the Tyranid armory. It takes some time, but once you understand all of the options a Tyranid player has (and they are ample), you simply have to identify the weaknesses of the opposing faction and outfit accordingly. Or in the case when you can't swap from battle to battle, make as balanced an army as you can. For armies that have a lot of ranged power, use fast attack units. That means Hormagaunts, Raveners, and occasionally gargoyles. These are the best units for tying up firing lines quickly, especially against Tau and Imperial Guard. Make good use of cover while getting into a good position to blitz the enemy.
