Are Zoanthropes worth taking in a 10th Edition Tyranid Army? And which Detachment do they fit best into?!

[@nimric3348]

I don't like zoanthtropes in synaptic nexus because they cant make use of its defensive stratagem reinforced hive node. They already have such great damage that I feel that they do better with a detachment with more defensive rules. Invasion fleet with its feel no pains Or assimilation swarm with its free revives I feel like those synergize the best with zoanthtropes. Keep them alive long enough and they will kill everything.

@@nimric3348I just don’t like zoanthropes cause of there range it puts them in the path of everything that can kill them

[@nimric3348]

@@Deathgaming112 that's why you need a good defensibe stratagem for the to valuable to allow to die.

[@Deathgaming112]

@@nimric3348 ya true, but i don’t think there good enough to proc 2 cp on them a turn for defence, once on your turn and there turn cause there that fragile, when tyranids really want to proc cp to deal more damage, still I watch as everyone in my shop try to claim zoanthropes are completely overpowered then I watch as this one guy wanted to prove they were broken so I watch as he played a game and they literally do nothing the whole game cause they needed 2 turns to get in then they got one shot off doing half the HP of a gladiator reaper just to get annihilated by the return shot he got from knocking it to half HP and the one stratagem. Killing all but 1 of the six. It was pretty ironic to be honest.

I love Them 😊so i would always run 6 of Them in my list

[@Zolnova]

Hmm.. been over 10 years since I last played the game, I recall Zoanthropes being pretty nasty and a necessity back then. Is there any better alternatives around these days? Lil worried i'm not spreading the tyranid wi-fi to keep the little ones going loopy.

What would y'all use against a wraithknight

[@oldmate86]

They’re too swingy for my tastes. A D3+1 would help for witchfire and D6+2 DMG for focused would make them feel worth it

[@nimric3348]

If you need ranged anti tank the only good things are zoanthtropes, tyranofex, and maleceptor as long as it's not against toughness 11 The problem with zoanthtropes are their range, tanks are normally really long range and you have a good chance of being picked off before you reach them. Honestly if you are concerned about tanks the tyranofex is the way to go. Its expensive but it is worth it's cost if it attacks tanks. It has a pretty good chance of 1 shoting enemy tanks and is almost impossible to oneshot back. It's 245 points but it could easily kill 2 tanks before dying.

[@Deathgaming112]

Ya zoanthropes just kinda suck it’s there range it really puts them in danger its not like black templars crusader squad with there 48” range can easy sit somewhere at max range safe and fire in the heavy support

[@Bl4ckBasecoat]

I mean, they would be if they could EVER SCORE A HIT

[@TheSixMachine]

This is true xD

[@Deathgaming112]

11:03 unending swarm is literally there detachment, or crusher stamped cause both have sh*t tones of wounds with no inv and they prevent 1 out of every six attacks so you need something that can actually live through 6 attacks

[@Deathgaming112]

9:10 that’s pretty good worth dropping a cp into it a turn for sure

[@Deathgaming112]

8:17 they don’t get any buffs from synaptic imperatives, that’s a really expensive neurogaunt squad. 😅

[@Deathgaming112]

I main nids haven’t lost a game with them and I’ve managed to burn through most of the gauntlet. And to be honest I hate zoanthropes I think there a low tear unit because they’re las cannon shot is only at 24” range making them really easy to play around. Like unless you need the 6+ inva drop them for hive gaurd with shock cannons and actually use overwatch on the hive guard
