[@qstionevrythng]

I'm glad the new codex is catering to these different playstyles. I'm really excited for when they get to my factions. Thanks for the review, seeing nerds nerd out is what I live for

[@ironbark8485]

Everything looks AWESOME! Can't wait to get my copy from preorder.

[@goldenemperor3078]

I was wondering if you guys were done doing Star Wars legion?

[@matjov]

Pity GW has so few pictures of Tyranids, that they have to reuse the same cover pic.🙄

[@SillyLegz]

Did my Tfex lose its only ability?! 🤬

[@weemanling]

"What you love about the codex is still there!" 😊 "Shadow in the Warp, still the same!" 😢

[@FelipeBudinich]

For the audio you need "ducking" so when you talk, the music plays lower. There are VSTs that allow you to do this pretty much automatically ;)

[@TheRealKyle]

so stoked for tau codex.. there surely be one for running xenos. love how one book has 6 detachments with each focusing on a specific play.

[@justinsinke2088]

The various detachment rules seem like a really interesting addition to 10th edition. They're taking the idea of army playstyles that just came from unit compositions in the army and highlighting them as special forms of play. There are now unique rules and strategems for the detachments, so that the big bugs in a Crushing Stampede tactically play different than those you'd put into another type of detachment. The way it allows you to really lean into a playstyle sounds really fun.

[@MubinTalati]

Absolutely! Big reason I'm happy for the detachments and the new book

[@GeorgeOBrien-jn6uf]

I really like it, and 'nids work great thematically with lots of different styles

[@maxo8917]

Tycho makes me so happy. He’s so animated and his energy is infectious. The community is lucky to have people like him.

[@fateazura6768]

I preordered a box of Hormagaunts and got a total of 60 Leviathan Termagants already. I'm going to slowly build up to 120 Hormagaunts and Termagants each. Devour the biomass!

[@RevanR]

As expected of @Play On Tabletop those tyranids are well painted. For the codex the return of Stampede Crusher is what make me more excited, Kaiju army battle is my favourite play style

[@kurt8655]

The norn looks so good I hope they keep going in that direction

[@ryanodoherty4090]

Every time I see Tycho I just want him to say "The best thing about Heroquest is..."

[@markcreighton5888]

“Look at the muscularity” or not, sorry Tycho Hugs (I miss the bard.)

[@ryanodoherty4090]

@markcreighton5888 that would have been perfect for this video! 👌

[@tomb2000ad]

I ran my nids last night against my mate and literally said it's a shame Genestealers cannot advance and charge, and my monsters cannot tank shock XD

[@Chester2194]

I'm gonna try the assimilation detachment with psychophages and haruspex to regen my warrior squads and norn assimilator. Sounds fun

[@johngibson826]

Love the painting on those Tyranids. Would love to see some painting videos sometime

[@aTorreBranca]

I like the energy of the big guy lo like and subs see yaround

[@markberghel275]

Perhaps even more so than the rules, I'm glad that each detachment is on a two-page spread. That's proper formatting, makes it easy to reference with a single bookmark.

[@teewb]

Just a small feedback and it just might be me, i found the music sometimes overpowered when someone was talking making it a bit harder for me to hear

[@spruceforester3038]

Okay these new rules are awesome but now we need to see them in action

[@samuelthibodeau8272]

Love the new nids, You guy have great energy as always! Audio on your voices was too low and it was hard to hear what you where saying.

[@destinationunknown6665]

I thought that in 10th Edition they were doing away with codexs? did GW change their minds?

[@Zerato]

Really sad they kept the bastardized version of synapse and shadow Might be passing on the bugs this edition

[@SnugCheetah36]

Does the lore section still list all of thd various hive fleets, and some lore about them? Give my boys Hydra some representation!

[@MubinTalati]

They do touch on a lot of the hive fleets (did a brief skim read of the fluff)

[@FrankieMankie]

33$ for 25 dice... bruh, is this GW?

[@NoonCall]

Unending swarm will be the only detachment i run. i will flood the board with my swarms they cant kill us all!

[@shadowmancy9183]

Imperial Fists would like to have a word with you about our lord and savior, the Vindicator.

[@pwrlol]

I agree adding the eldritch horror aspect back to the Tyranids is fantastic, it was an important part of the second edition sculpts and it’s so good it has returned!

[@TP_Rockstar]

I'm really looking forward to getting my codex, and the shame pile that follows it, but in reference to 0:39, one of the biggest things I love about my tyranid army is inexplicably absent from this codex: The Trygon, for the first time as far as I know, cannot burrow a tunnel for a unit to deep strike through. The most iconic part of the Trygon, what I would argue is the main thing that separates it from the Mawloc, and there's no longer a way to do it. I don't get why that has been removed, because it just turns the Trygon from an iconic monster with its own unique identity into a 2nd Mawloc datasheet.

[@kinginyellow1490]

so what got me back into 40k was the rumor of free rules, no more codex's. And low and behold another 40 dollar codex that i need to buy to get the full rules, is this a NEW paywall i have to climb? Sigh.

[@memnarch129]

Ummm we all knew Codexes where coming and the Indexes where to hold everyone over till you got a Codex.

[@ArabianKaiser]

Love what has been done with the Tyranids! From the beautiful models to amazingly fun rules. Im very excited to get this codex for my self and enjoy the tyranid swarm for all eternity!

[@MusclePanda90]

Wanna see a game with endless swarm just to see the amount of models haha

[@SnowFoxWithAGasMask]

Nids are hopefully not going to mirror necrons last edition, being strong at launch but bad as codex power creep gets out of hand.

[@CojoSC]

Its been 511 days between the Playon Tabletop reviews of the 9th edition Tyranid Codex and the 10th edition Tyranid Codex

[@guitargangster66]

It'd be cool if I could get my hands on anything 10th edition.

[@chazzitz-wh4ly]

Didn’t Nids just get a codex like a year ago for 9th?

[@Andrewc87563]

Star Wars Legion Dice and a New FDM legion terrain printer. Things are looking really awesome for what's coming up!

[@thefloridaman41]

Man I can’t wait for the Chaos Daemon codex’s, probably not gonna see them for 2-3 years though. It is really rough how badly they screwed over mono-God

[@Paulus449]

Tried to watch the video which seems really informative but the awful loud background music just made watching impossible.

[@Randomwhiteguy1]

I'm so excited for the new edition and rules. Just made at GW for how they're implementing them. Have to buy a book that'll be outdated in two months or pay a subscription to play a game I bought and paid for already?

[@BenNewcomb]

I love my new thousand sons dice, that I got from baron of dice. They roll a lot better than the 40k dice I have.

[@MubinTalati]

They really are great dice. Bit fickle at times though, kinda like Tzeentch

[@MiniatureMasterClass]

Looks like 10th is on track to become the most broken and bloated edition yet!!!!

[@stuartlittledrowning4965]

I dont play tyranids but shadow in the warp seems week, almost entirely due to battleshock being week and fairly ineffective this edition. GW seems to think its the shit and theirfore alot of batleshocky units get overpointed.

[@deathroar409]

So I'm not seeing anyone correcting the crusher stampede carnifex comment, so I'll say it just in case. Unless you are running a single model of carnifex it does not benefit them like at all. For a unit of 2 to be below starting strength 1 has to die first, that also locks them out of the +1 to wound since a unit of 2 can never be below half strength.

[@chrisj9628]

"Tyrannofexes are so good now" bro they were just nerfed, what are you talking about? I do like the codex overall, but this bit struck me as silly.

[@zachhughes9149]

Why not wait a week or two and review the revised expanded corrected edition?

[@tylarbuck6801]

Hahaha Tycho said "do do damage" 💩💥

[@MubinTalati]

He did say do do. I had to try very hard not to giggle on camera

[@tychoimmega9741]

Do do! yep

[@davidcox6454]

It doesn’t seem really exciting but I guess as long as the other codexes are on the same level it should be ok. Most of the ones on the roadmap are probably already done but I don’t have a lot of faith that they will be balanced. Also no subfactions is still lsme

[@Wolfineer_]

Honestly if it wasn't such a huge painting task, Nids sound super fun to play in 10th (especially unending horde)

[@Swampert919]

If you do wanna jump into tyranids i highly recommend using contrast paints for them... spray them white then throw on 2 coats of contrast and its done. Makes painting them much more manageable, especially for hordes.

[@skeletor3176]

@@Swampert919 absolutely, just don't do what i did and use about 10 different paints just for termagants (not even including the base... though i think they look sick so the pain is worth it!)

[@shadowmancy9183]

@@Swampert919 I did proper slapchop, but am running Chronos, so it's just red and black, followed by some white and teal highlights.

[@myneighborsnorlax3780]

So the tyranids were already really good this edition and now they're even better.....greeeeaaaat.....*cries in votann*

[@wibblewobble7899]

Good video but the music was really out of place for a chill discussion and it was louder than the dialogue at times

[@MrShinoTheBugman]

good for the bug boiz. makes me excited for the necron :)

[@Demigodish4o3]

How much of the fluff in the new codex is new compared to the 9th edition codex?

[@dr.mantistoboggan4494]

Probably none, as with the core book (almost all of the lore was directly lifted from the 9th ed book, with little to no changes). GW charge vast amounts and are so lazy with what they produce...

[@robertflynn4215]

Where's the emperor's exterminator when you need him, loyalty is, own reward 🦁💚

[@FelipeBudinich]

I really like what they are doing with the detachments.

[@randallnaylor9563]

Yes I can finally commit to my fighting Nids list 😮‍💨🙏🏾

[@Nytrusdeathcyde]

im noty sure if the list for this codex on amazon is the 10th edition one i do need this for my tyranids at some point

[@taxman3749]

I hope it is less photoshoots of lodels, more information, and better written and all.

[@grantgood6062]

The new gaunt models are so cool I want to trade in my old ones lol

[@mitchbarton4921]

What about the different hive fleets?! Do you get special bonuses for using Leviathan, Kronos, Kraken, Gorgon, etc...?!

[@MubinTalati]

Nope! Detachments are based around playstyles and units. Not a colour scheme or hive fleet

[@martinconway8174]

Unending Swarm seems like a right pain in the arse to play against, but I cannot deny how cool the roleplay element will be as you face down a sea of chitin!

[@RoxyGotMoxy.]

Just imagine your units getting bogged down in a circle of gaunts, only to have a Mawloc erupt from below and devour them.. with another horde of gaunts then surging through that gap to utterly overwhelm your units from without and within. Gahhh I'm so excited!

[@Swampert919]

Itll be a pain to face without movement trays but boy having my terminators do a last stand against an unending horde sounds like such a fun game

[@ReaperGrimm5594]

*Mentions Mindflayer* WoTC sends in the Pinkertons

[@DailYxDosE]

Did they announce the release date for space marine codex?

[@stevenbach312]

Please , show us the layout and photos. Repeats of the index cards or the thumbnails of 9th edition, well, not just welcome, imo. Looks like " overcomplicate, not just overcomplicated."

[@BEASTmodeontheRoad]

Lol, my 9th edition codex is still in cellophane

[@N00BITH]

I love the soft purple that you guys painted these Leviathan bugs with, has really sort of sold the hive fleet for me while I was debating which one I wanted to play myself.

[@shadowmancy9183]

I'm really torn about how to play my Chronos army. Do I field a massive horde to wear down demons and put more bodies into the fight than they have attacks, do I build around synapse and get some nice buffs, or do I make everyone a little better at fighting than normal?

[@karasutenka]

Do we know what the point costs for the two Norns are?

[@MikeGalosi]

my god 40k is such a badly designed game

[@tomb1686]

on a side note, you would be surprised how many people dont know what Cthulhu or "eldritch" is. its gotten easier to just say my tattoo is an octopus.

[@lukewynn4648]

Exellent review you guys are awsome thanks for explaining the codex and making it fun to watch too

[@MariusGage]

Wow! Those baron of dice tyranids dice and dice mat look AWESOME

[@DantesonofSparda85]

so the 'nids now have their own version of World Eaters' Bloodsurge? Oh fun!

[@SteveArnold43]

Genestealers where nurfed 😭😭😭

[@Shachza]

So...? Tau: "Railgun!" Tyrannofex: "Nope."

[@carlosiyanaszca]

imagine they were just holding the 9th ed codex bcs the front art is the same

[@GeorgeOBrien-jn6uf]

I love the unending swarm rules, looking forward to it!

[@nathanwtc742]

Did you pick up the data cards? Are they "pick up and play" like the index cards were? My ideal wish for the data cards would be three or four cards with the rules, detachments, strategems and enhancements. All the data cards and a points card. Job Done. Simple, as promised. So, will my wish come true?

[@PlayOnTabletop]

We did not get them. But that does seem to be how they are formatted.

[@GeorgeOBrien-jn6uf]

yay, the new codex looks great and I love the excitement here!

I liked nids but I only had a 10 gaunts that I painted but now I’ve got leviathan I might be bankrupt from all the lictors I’m gonna buy

[@MubinTalati]

Tyranids are truly the great devourer of expendable income

Can't wait for Imperial Guard and Votann!

[@Tiekiller_77]

we better see the 6 emissary list against knights or something

[@f_evans_6694]

I'm tempted to buy the codex - I just hope they don't start changing rules immediately after, and it becomes practically useless

[@chazzitz-wh4ly]

That’s the entire game. Didn’t they get a codex for ninth like a year ago?

Love your content, but i would love to know how did you paint that Tyranids!! they look awsome wiht that purple!!!

[@tychoimmega9741]

contrast paint with an air brush highlight is the basic method. takes some nifty brush control to pull off!

Id love to see the Star Trek universe try and fight the nids they wouldn’t last long

[@popamonkey190]

I doubt anything in the collective star trek universe could dismantle a Tyranid swarm. I think even the Borg would have trouble dealing with hive fleet tendrils.

[@danielkearl7392]

Tycho should do more evil laughs.

[@RoxyGotMoxy.]

Unending Swarm sounds like its gonna be a right pain in the arse to play with and play against, but the flavour, ohhh the flavour. Just imagine your units getting bogged down in a circle of 'gaunts, only to have a Mawloc erupt from below and devour them.. with another horde of gaunts then surging through that gap to utterly overwhelm any surviving units from without and within, before they all form up again and surge towards the next squad. Gahhh I'm so excited!

[@brokenheroics8223]

Now I'm ready for codices.

[@colingreene9438]

One thing I don't get is why you would make Deathleaper your warlord in the Vanguard detachment. What is the purpose of that other than a bit of RP? A broodlord can work as a warlord with an enhancement plus the genestealers it would be running with. Or even still just grab a hive tyrant or the swarmlord for more effective stratagems. But maybe I'm missing something since I don't have one of the new books yet.

[@Swampert919]

Broodlord kinda forces you to invest in genestealers, and the only other vanguard character is the winged prime (i think). Other tyranid characters cant use the detachment's stuff. So on top of the RP (which is reason enough) it means if you wanna lean into a lictor based army you can without having to pay for a bodyguard you dont want.

[@colingreene9438]

@@Swampert919 Ah, didn't know about the no tyrant option. And I would think investing in genestealers would be good either way. But I get what you mean.

[@Swampert919]

@@colingreene9438 winged tyrants might be vanguard organisms but that hasnt been confirmed yet. You can still take non vanguard organisms like tyrants but they won't get any benefit from the detachment ability, nor can they use any enhancements or strategems, so might be a worse choice than the alternatives, hard to say atm.

@@tychoimmega9741 oke but only negatief you get, you unit cannot score and you cant play strats on them. but other ways you can do every thing else with the unit. Would be better if you could not get closer to the enemy or if your unit has to fall back.
