Tyranids

Postby thesignaller » Thu Jan 30, 2014 9:09 am

My son wants the new Tyranid Codex for his birthday - that's fine.

But he's not sure what extra figures to get with it. Which means seeing codex and stats before buying figures - bit of a problem if he wants them on same day.

Can anyone tell me what the new Exocrine is like?

~He seems to think an oversized Pyrovore?


Any help would be great, thanks.

If you're anywhere near Redcar and can go to the Redcar raiders at the clarydon there is a couple of tyranid players there that will be happy to show you the codex

the exocrine is a cheapish walking plasma cannon. It will be useful in most situations. its far beyond a pyrovore.

There are a few groups in Manchester if you are interested - I'm up there weekly :)

I'm sure you would have some luck finding a local person to help out :)

Thanks
I go to Manchester Area Wargames (Mondays and Odd numbered Sundays) usually, but with my work shifts before his birthday and the fact that the 40K gamers only go on a Monday night meant I might not get down there to see any of them.

I think he'll like the idea of a walking Plasma Canon to put against my Grey Knight Land Raider and Terminators!!!

it won't help against your landraider, but it will be very useful against those pesky terminators
