If thats a leading indicator that the Octarius Synaptic Links are going away then you might take this in some builds, but otherwise just upgrade some Warriors. If I were to do that, Id use the spare points to swap the Termagants for Deathleaper w/ Alien Cunning (its a very popular combination for a reason).

The monstrousCodex: Tyranidsis on the way, so its time to grab your rubber gloves and cut through the chitin to study its pulsating, rules-filled heart. That aside, this book feels like a win overall Tyranids have some of the more challenging themes to translate into rules on the tabletop, and this book pulls that off extremely effectively while also successfully supporting a very deep model range. Starting at the top you have the Broodlord, who was made slightly tougher and nastier but lost all of their genestealer-specific bonuses. As mentioned above, Lurk seems very strong, and has whats probably the biggest standout game changer is Territorial Instincts, which gives Objective Secured to MONSTER units, and also lets them count as five models for objective control if they have a wound characteristic of 10+. As mentioned above, the horde stuff here maybe feels like it could all be a point cheaper, at least for Termagants and Hormagaunts, which rock in at 7pts and 8pts each respectively. Better still, this is not a weapon replacement so it can go on any character regardless of loadout. This seething tide of mandibles, talons, guns, tails, and other errant limbs only grows in power when directed by cunningSYNAPSEcreatures, forming a carpet of doom that covers the battlefield. 3 Warriors, 3 Deathspitter, 3 Dual Boneswords 75 This definitely improves the chances of getting where you need to be, but theres very little access to advance and charge now so its mostly used for those turns where positioning is key.

Technically, the codex had already been released as part of the Black Templars Army Boxback in October, but only received a standalone release the month after.

The centrepiece of the Heavy Support slot is the Carnifex, a datasheet with a dizzying array of options for upgrades where, it quickly emerges, its almost impossible to build a bad one. Its strong enough that it probably edges out Searhive, which allows a model with Toxin Sacs to just auto-wound in melee against targets that arent VEHICLES or MONSTERS, but that is also pretty funny. Cards on the table it is still tricky to justify putting points on these rather than more Fexes, but theyre both great datasheets. The stratagem is a generic deep strike one for a mere 1CP (usable twice in Strike Force), with the only restriction being no TITANIC, so if you want to pick Hunt Augmented Ferocity as your Adaptive option and stick a couple of Scythed Hierodules or six Screamer Killers in deep strike (maybe with some longer-ranged bugs hanging back) then yeah, this looks pretty good!

Theyre one of the cheapest full units you can take, and do deep strike, so theres probably the occasional list that want some just as position holding filler, but dont expect to see many. New and looking pretty good here is the Dirgeheart of Kharis, which lets you switch off the ObSec of a unit you hit in the fight phase, an extremely strong effect. The positioning criteria are also way harder than it appears on a first read it says you can start the Action if youre within 6 of the enemy deployment zone, but on completion the marker has to be placed Wholly Within their zone and within 1 of the performing unit, so functionally you have to make it right to the edge of their zone with at least one model.
