I want my bugs to be melee focused nightmares again 😭

I started out with nids as a pandemic project and after playing a few different style armies I have to say it's definitely like playing on hard mode. they put in some work but the threat that they represent in lore and the threat on the tabletop are 2 totally different things.

Tau players are laughing pretty hard for someone within rending claws distance

That was how they used to be. Look at the 4th edition rules. Then ONE GUY lost ONE TOURNAMENT and decided to change them forever.

Tell me about it. My brothers Khorne army had enough fire power to melt most of the stuff I sent at him. Granted, what survived probably got scholarships to the Prometheus School of Running away from things on an Aragorn Badassary scholarship. I’ve had a full team of melee chaos marines and a havocs team empty their mags and melee into a single Tyranid Prime and he won.

I remember 4th ed when you immediately replaced a destroyed gaunt unit back on the board at the beginning of your next turn. Honestly it was fun to play with and against, so naturally it was removed.

I’m a Nid player been playing since 8th and it’s absolutely pathetic how bad these are compared to other armies now. Bringing out another supplement book before the 9th codex is pitiful from GW. I play with friends who run death guard and ultramarines. Love the social side of the day but being deleted off the board is painful.

I love this video so much! It's exactly how I've felt playing nids. People just laughing and rolling their dice as casually as possible and here I am desperately hoping at least half the dice are 4s.

It's weird that GW nerfs horde armies, like in an economical way it makes much more sense to have OP Nids because they cost more in terms of money.

Lmao Im new to nids and this is very accurate

Laughs in Hierophant Bio Titan. I am also poor now.

Starting song is Danger snow-vidjanny santo

The tau would be proud

Man I forgot Michael Fassbender was in 300

Sent this to my friend who plays tyrainds he sent me a middle finger

That 300 scene even more accurate with armor of contempt on the 200 sm army's at my lgs

This is why I'm a hobbyist rather than a gamer, as far as 40k goes. I put money, time, love, and hard work into getting my army together and presentable, I don't want to have to build a collection that I don't enjoy looking at just because it's "Meta". GW can make any army OP or Total Garbage with a wave of their hands, because rules are just words. They can't make my army any more or less aesthetically pleasing no matter what they do. That's why I advise people to collect the army they like and not worry about the Meta unless they are certain that they are a hardcore tournament grinder.

Reality: unexpectedly good shooting and psychic

I feel this on a deep level. I double fired my six hive guard into a 10 man transhumaned hell blaster squad with a master apothecary and Azreal standing next to them. I killed 1.5 hell blasters.
