(Part 2 of AbusePuppy’s Tyranid review)
Oh god, here it comes. First of all, the Elites slot is where pretty much all your anti-tank firepower is located, which means using them on anything else is risky at best. We have a variety of excellent selections here, so many- even most- Tyranid armies will find their Elites filling up well before anything else.

Just like it says, a unit-by-unit review of the whole dang codex, talking over what I think of everything, including upgrades, unit combinations, and some vague army lists. Why should you care what I think? I dunno, for starters I can type complete sentences with correct spelling. That counts for something around here. Other than that, I don’t claim to have any sort of gospel truth on the new units, but I have spent quite a bit of time taking in various people’s opinions on the new book and comparing them to my own assessments. If you disagree with something, I would be more than happy to argue about things with you; I love arguing.
I didn’t post this in the larger Tyranid tactica thread because it seemed like eating up that much space would be slightly impolite, being that rather a lot of the long, wordy posts there are already mine.
With all that said, let’s begin.

A completed, fully painted (and well-painted) army is a beautiful thing to behold, a unique snowflake made of dedication and antisocial isolation.
Anyone badass enough to actually own an entire army, painted, complete, should show it off at every opportunity. They should get t-shirts made up. They should have pictures of them sent out as Christmas cards. Pictures of your completed armies should be framed and placed in front of pictures of your children and loved ones.
Well, maybe that’s a bit much, but they should at least post pictures of that shit in the Eternity of War forums.
But you’ll have to beat these impressive contributions, or else everyone will just laugh at you. (click to enlarge)

If you have some pictures of your own, feel free to lay the smack down on these chumps by posting them. And if not, close your browser and get your lazy ass back to your painting table!
The Eternity of War Forums have some incredibly talented painters and modelers. But what they also have are some pretty damn proficient photographers. Don’t believe me? Just take a look at what lurks in the BATTLESHOTS thread.

All of these, and many more, await you in the BATTLESHOTS thread. So what are you waiting for, maggot, get a move on!
Oh yeah, and if you have any of your own, post that shit so we can think you’re awesome.
Thanks to forum posters A Gross Bug and Syphilis for posting the images you see above.
