Default Re: [Tactica: Army Overview & Tyranid HQs]

That horrible interpretation where you can kill a Tyranid Warrior with a S9 weapon was in the US FAQ's for like a week. I'm very glad that they took that out. It was a silly RAW reading. I was dead positive that they were still effected by wraithcannons however because they are only immune to strength based instant death.

In a game where the deployment zones are separated by 24" and with infiltrators 12" away with no fleet ability you should never ever be able to assault. If you do you have no soul. Remember that being granted he could never shoot at you with 24" rapidfire weapons either. It doesn't matter that much because if you ever catch some one with that it's the last time you'll catch them with that. It's a fast learning experience.

I'm just saying that with measurements from people being much less than precise, you should never for the sake of sportsmanship exercise an assault that would hinge on less than a hair and theory. Unless of course you have no soul.
