Yesterday I picked up the new Tyranids codex, which I think is pretty damned cool. I know lots of people are upset about most of the changes, like the cost of Carnifexes and the way the biomorphs work, but I quite like it. I still need to pick up some of the new stuff, like Hive Guard and Trygon/Mawlocs and a few more of the old things like another Zoanthrope and maybe a Biovore. I tried to add up all the points I have last night and it looks like a little over 2,200.
On a side note, Fred was able to acquire some Necrons (for free!!), so we’ll probably be throwing own this Tuesday. It’ll give me a chance to remember the 40K rules, learn the new Tyranids and for him to learn the main rules and his army. The only sad thing about the Necrons is the amount of metal models that are pretty much essential, unless you want to buy more of the plastics and do some conversion work.
