    What is better than one Screamer-killer? Two Screamer-killers! Nick takes 2x the Leviathan set to the battlefield versus Tak's Ultramarines. Tak was not able to paint up everything and that actually helped us get the two sides fairly equal in points with the Tyranids at 1,635 points and the Space Marines at 1,625 points.
    Thank you to Games Workshop for providing us early access to Leviathan so we can bring these fun battles to the masses.

    I don't know, but the marines just seem too tough for this nid composition, basically all the gaunts are completely useless against even the basic marines, who are then rerolling hits and wounds to instantly wipe whatever threat the nids have. You could probably take the terminators out of the army completely and it would be relatively balanced.

    [UPDATE] Point costs have dropped: Tyranids total model cost = 815. Space Marines total model cost = 980
    Great game, love to see the new rules in action. Well done to both players. Shame to see the Tyranids once again getting shredded so easily off the board. Optimistically, when they release point costs we might see Space Marines costed highly enough that they can only field around 1/2 - 3/4 of the box against the entire Tyranid force - *might* be enough to even things up a bit.
    Right now it just seems like the Tyranids are not fun for anyone to play, just desperately rushing to get some objectives before they get tabled...

      Tyranids just seem like that they cant kill anything that has high-ish toughness or save. Barbgaunts usually only kill 1 marine or none with their shots, and their supression is nice, but it does not always come in. Winged Primes just seem incapable of wounding or get saved all the time.
      I hope that when we see more units, like warriors, carnifexes and genestealers tyranids start struggling less.

    • @skalgrimfellaxe5796
      @skalgrimfellaxe5796 Год назад +4

      @@yamilalcaide9448 We have very few high strenght weapons in our list. You can basically choose between melee: Tervigon with massive crushing claws has A4 WS4 S12 Ap-3 D6+1 D. Old One Eye does that better with A6 WS3 S14 AP-3 D6+1. Haruspex has A4 WS3 S14 Ap-2 D6+1. Carnifexes with crushing claws get A4 WS4 S12 Ap-3 D6+1. So yeah, you need to run up the board and hope the enemy doesn't guard his tanks/dreads with a little screen of troops or take you out as you try to get close enough.
      Or shooting which is even more limited. Only three things have a higher strength than 9.... Zoanthropes has a A1 BS3 S12 Ap-3 D6+1 attack. But its only 24" range. Hive Guard with shock cannons will be more common now, 24" range with a anti-vehicle 2+ at A2 Ap-1 D3... Not hard to save for 2+ armor, but still. That leaves the only real good ranged anti-vehicle to the Tyrannofex - which will be a must have for tyranids lists now. It has 48" range. Heavy. A2 BS3 S18 Ap-4 2D6 damage.
      Nids will struggle against any list that brings lots of T10+ units. But will work very well against infantry. But yeah, unless you can swarm the enemy or get in a bunch of genestealers with their Broodlord all while using the Hyper Agression adaptation - its going to be a rough time. Points are coming out today though. So perhaps our stuff will just be cheaper than most other factions so that we can bring more of it. Just don't count on it.

      Points are out, 865 for the Marines, 815 for the Nids. A 50 point difference in one box, probably around100 pts with the two boxes combined the way they did.
      Tyranids just can't get around the Marines durability. Most of the Tyranid stuff is 5-6 strength with -1 AP. Ends up rolling even odds or single advantage against the Marine stuff and getting shrugged on a 3+ save.
      The only unit that gets double advantage is the Screamer Killer (Str 8, AP-2) which Oath of Moment almost always targets and removes turn 1.

    amazing looking models, absolutely kickass job painting them. also what a fun game... oath definitely seemed way more balanced in bigger games but that makes a lot of sense considering how it functions.
    excited for more of this season from you guys. 10th is so much easier to watch and follow along with as somebody who isn't really intimate with the hobby's rules and everything. should be really fun to see all the other armies and stuff
    EDIT: screw marines though. down with the imperium :)

    Amazing game and amazing paint jobs as always! But… I don't know, from all the games I've seen it seems that tyranids have just been bruntly losing battles, for now the only models we got for 10th edition are nids and space marines, but still, they did not even manage to kill half of the enemy army, ok that we have not seen any of the other tyranid models, but it now seems that battles stretch a bit too far in time spans, as everything doesn't die, and it is made less potent, like the goddamn screamer killer is supposed to kill things, those fellas just took a brunt of the hits and killed essentially nothing. Ok that this is a game involving dice and chances, but still, those redemptor dreads were not supposed to live through those strikes.

      Tyranids are at a severe disadvantage in the leviathan box, not only are there more points of space marines but the only unit that can realistically deal with the terminators and dreadnaught is the screamer killer, which the space marines really don’t struggle to kill… really gotta play the objective game and get as much value out of the screamer killer as physically possible to stand a chance, easier said than done.

      @@jtmcdowell2331 but still, this further validates my point, the nids could have not won in any other way, unlike the space marines they were highly unlikely to kill their enemy, consider the 2 main bulwarks being the screamer killers did not manage to even kill a dreadnought.
      Don't get me wrong, I still like the changes made in 10th edition and the new simplicity of the game, but am I the only one that feels the nids being less powerful than what they were estimed to be?
      I seriously am starting to think that Nick went for the gambit because he thought that his units would've not been able to kill the ones holding the objectives and hoped for their resilience to last.

      @@The_mekboy_you_deserve I think you may be misunderstanding me my friend; I'm saying if nick stayed on mission, did not choose the gambit, he would have scored 7 on primary both turn 4 and 5. That makes him win by 2 without additional Secondary points.
      Tak did make some crazy saves as well as Nick failed to do some damage with the screamer killers. I think honestly the screamer killer is meant for heavy infantry killing not vehicles. Tyranids also have the adaptive Stratagem to do lethal hits on vehicles, something nick could have done as well.
      Not saying this is a "balanced box" by any stretch. It is a box full of awesome new models though. I loved painting the tyranid half!

  • @James-qr5hx

    Having watched and read a few things now, I think Oath of Moment should be every other turn, and Doctrines shouldn't include indirect fire. Sam's would feel more balanced after that.

    Sadly, Nids really got shafted in the box.. At base; they're 185 points behind the marines... or 6 warriors, 3 leapers, THIRTY Termagaunts or a screamer killer.
    in the base box, imagine how much different matches would be if the nids had thirty more termagaunts for the marines to deal with; and an equal point base.

    With the points now posted, it makes sense that Tyranids keep getting pasted. The box points are 780 to 980 (or something like that). If you count the non-full Ripper Swarm then it's still almost a 200 pt gap.
    This almost double box battle makes that gap even worse.

    48:15 "Player choice had everything to do with who won the game" I'm not convinced. With the dice strongly favoring Nick's saves and keeping certain units alive WAY longer than they should have the Tyranids should have slaughtered if they were up against any faction other than GW's favorite faction. If the dice had gone that wildly in favor of the Ultra Smurfs the game would have been over in turn two.
