Synaptic Nexus - Codex Tyranids Detachment Review - Warhammer 40K 10th Edition

[@naughtiusmaximus1231]

I'm going with a custom Hive Fleet based on the Lovecraft Mythos, Hivefleet R'Lyeh; this sounds like a good fit for some cosmic horror!

[@nomadicmetalhed891]

This is the best idea I’ve ever heard please do this

[@samuelclements5920]

Looks like the detachment for me. Always loved Tyranid psykers. Seems strong and flexible as well.

[@tomcallmusic4295]

I’ve had success with Neurolictor + Dirgeheart Winged Prime + Screamer Killer. Had a WE MoE w/5 Berserkers, got them down a bodyguard w/ shooting from the Screamer Killer, then they failed the leadership at -2, took 5 mortals from the stratagem, THEN they whiffed from the minus to hit from the Neurolictor, and died real quick in melee with the +1 to wound, by some Von Ryan’s and the Screamer Killer. Next turn, got basically the same result against Lord Invocatus and 3 exalted 8-bound, (though the MW strat whiffed that time).

[@gautierleriche9062]

Well, Neurolictors weren't supposed to be equipped with the dirgehear 10 month ago since they only get the "synapse" keyword 2 month ago with the last dataslate, but nowaday the synergy is actually perfectly legit and even stronger since the synaptic aura also grant an additionnal +1 to wound in melee only

[@newworldempire]

If only Haruspex and Zoanthrope kits still existed in the wild!

[@cmkmusicislife1571]

I saw Zoanthropes were back in stock like 2 months ago and bought 2 boxes. I knew they would go out of stock because of GW’s incompetence

[@aloser8703]

Loved zoats back when I played in like 2005, have a metal one somewhere. Wish I could get plastic ones now that I am playing again

[@christophermetzger8183]

Ebay

[@keithchristmas7315]

Haruspex/Exocrine are in stock on the UK GW webstore, along with the Maleceptor. No Zoanthropes though. And very difficult to get from 3rd parties so get used to paying GW prices

[@vidarthorsby2052]

Like in the forest?

[@gorgrum]

synaptic imperatives are neat but all it does is make me really miss 9th edition where they were default. Everything was just more customizable and fluffy.

[@GeminautVA]

You can still play 9th with most players

[@Queldonus]

There’s quite a few old mechanics I miss from various editions, but I always enjoy playing more, and play more in general, when there are fewer rules and books to juggle.

[@lionpridedivisionyt1388]

I deep stricked a winged Tyranid prime near a castellan knight and activated shadow in the warp + neurotyrant for a -1 battle shock and did 4mw on the knight

[@Calvin_Coolage]

I'm happy to hear about that model doing good work. It's such a nice sculpt. I hope the Screamer Killer can get some love too.

[@kuzmychmaksym3843]

Why didn't your opponent used the Insane Bravery strat on knight?

[@tyranitorn8632]

@@kuzmychmaksym3843it’s once a game now right? it could have already been used

[@kuzmychmaksym3843]

@@tyranitorn8632 yes. Once per game. Could be the reason for not using it.

[@StarkMaximum]

You know, I originally figured I was only interested in the big monster detachment, but i do really like the Tyranids as deeply psychic aliens, and a lot of the special abilities and tricks this detachment has sounds very cool. This might be a fun other detachment to look into building!

[@GeekControl2MajorTim]

Brandishes nuke, "you know what this is? Yeah, you're some kinda smart bug"

[@GlennGiven]

Great video can't wait to hear your thoughts on the rest of the detatchments!

[@Pattern_Recognitions]

How many servitors are you sacrificing every day auspex? Great video as always.

[@philurbaniak1811]

👍👍 "showdown at frogtown" sounds like the stardew valley dlc that I need in my life 🤓!

[@vegladex]

If there's going to be a Detachment that isn't entirely overshadowed by Invasion Fleet, this is it.

[@AAw3s0m3]

I want videos on all the Detachments for good ol' Nids, but the one I'm most looking forward to is the Unending Swarm; I just simply love the zerg rush!

[@cristhianmlr]

*ol' nids

[@yickett]

The smothering shadow pc is on 3+ not 4+

[@RoAdKil7]

When nuerogaunts are granted Synapse, can they trigger the 12" CP mortals? That would make it a lot easier to reach out and Zap enemy units who fail Break Tests

[@mastemathedank4043]

I'll have to check my codex again, but I think so since the wording says that they are within 12" of a synapse unit and the enemy unit has to fail battleshock

[@ehlersgj]

Yes. The neurogaunts become a Synapse unit. So you can use the Neurotyrant to make the neurogaunts synapse units to create large bubbles of reroll 1s of to hit and wound with the strategem.

[@logandooley4426]

@@ehlersgjno they become a unit in synapse range they themselves are not synapse unit as it requires the actual key word

[@ehlersgj]

@@logandooley4426 Normally, yes, but he was asking about Neurogaunts that work a bit differently. Neurocytes: While this unit is within Synapse Range of your army, it has the SYNAPSE keyword.

[@scottjordan7431]

Now if only GW could put some maleceptors out so I could add them to my army list. Same with exocrines.

[@ShikiRen]

No Neurolictor recommendation (I saw he is in the example list but definitely thoguht it would be worth a specific mention)? The Smothering Shadow strategem seems to be usable on any failed shock, and Neurolictor forces battleshock tests, and in combination with the leadership debuff from the Deathleaper that seems pretty good? It also brings additional benefits against units that failed Battleshock nearby.

[@drewfire7540]

Can Irresistible Will be used with a Hive Tyrant? While it is a Battle Tactic, it says it targets a friendly unit and an enemy unit. Would you still be able to do it for free with the Tyrant ability?

[@dkng6363]

As long as your unit is within 12" of the Tyrant you can do it

[@Mandems25]

I'm currently trying to build up a Tyranid army with this detachment, what are some key minis that I need?

[@voltix54]

Imagine if they kept the neurothrope as its own datasheet then at very least PotHM would be equipable on TWO models instead of literally one .....

[@MegaYotom]

Am I misunderstanding something? You have it that the smothering shadow strat is 6d6 dealing mortals on a 4+, but in the app it says 3+ is that a typo on the app? I thought it sounded weird but I don't have my book on me.

[@toybot99]

Codex says 3+

[@MegaYotom]

@@toybot99 thank you very much! Seems like a very nice thing to have especially as a battle tactic

[@auspextactics]

On the actual slide when I talk about it it's written correctly, but then on the subsequent slides it seems to have reverted back to 4+. Either way, 3+ is correct!

[@MegaYotom]

@@auspextactics ah I was at work while I was watching so I must of missed it. Nevertheless another wonderful and informative video. Thank you very much

[@Dunkan-3]

Thank you Do you have a list of around 1000 points from the Leviathan box ?

[@d.t.m8393]

If you're looking for something like that I'd suggest checking out the channel Maelstrom Gaming Studios here on KZbin. The guy who runs it is a big Nid lover and he did a video about making lists with the Leviathan box contents a few weeks back which I'm sure you could find in the channels video archive. 👍

My friend who i pkay against is a Tyranids player and I play fark angels. Usually using othwr marine detachments and enhancement (lion is a hell of a model by the way) but I've just been loving the match ups so far but recently he's been having issues getting his models he wants and i can understand why there NEVER on the store and ebay don't help at all

[@spacepak1]

Its on a roll of 3+ you do mortals, not 4+. You made the same mistake in your previous video 😂

[@spacepak1]

Also, 290 for the norn, not 295

[@perrybailey5565]

Iv just printed 3 exocrines and 2 maleceptor and 6 more zoeys muhahahah!!!

[@nimric3348]

I don't care for synaptic nexus the rules are to conflicting. Your offensive abilities are great for synapse units but your main defensive abilities suck for them. -1ap and invulnerable saves Synapses already have those. The only things that can effectively use your definsive stratagem is tyrants, tyranid warriors, an maleceptors. I don't see a very few situations where invasion fleet isn't just as good with the same lists. Defense poorly designed

Day 6 of asking for a GSC list

[@LordBenjaminSalt]

The trick for Genestealer cults is to go for lore accuracy. Just keep having more units appear from everywhere whenever your opponent turns his back. Emerging out of buildings, climbing out from under rocks, hiding inside his vehicles, you can even do really quick conversions made from his units.
