FTN Episode 213 – 8th Edition Tyranid Codex Review – Part 1

Forge The Narrative - Warhammer 40k Podcast

GW is firing away with another Codex. This time Tyranids are getting some love. We run down the first part of the book and like what we see. In the middle of the show we have an interview with the amazing author Guy Haley!!

Hey,

Codex Tyranids has a lot of subtlety and synergy to it. The big bugs buff the little bugs, got it! That’s concept number 1 but then things get a lot more subtle. Like all codexes in this edition you have to factor in the Strategems, Hive World attributes and the benefits of all the various detachments.

Genestealers get some love in this book with a totally new deployment mechanic that punishes aggressive opponents. I like this. It allows you to sort of get inside your opponents head and potentially force them to make early game mistakes.

The Broodlord is brutal, like he should be. Old One Eye gets a point increase but he also creeps a little bit in power. We go over this on the show.

In the middle of this episode Chris and Paul sit down with Guy Haley. He was real fun to talk with and we hope you en enjoy it.

Thank you and Enjoy!

Forge the Narrative is mostly a Warhammer 40k Podcast. Each episode is about an hour long. This ideally gives you something neat to listen to on your way to work, or on the way back home. Maybe you can even listen while you are painting or modeling!

Please follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook!

FTN mostly focuses on 40k, but again you will see in the first few episodes we take a severe deep dive into nerdom. These have been a blast to record and I hope they help pass the time for you.
