The wait is almost over – the new Codex: Tyranids will soon be available for pre-order, marking a monumental moment as the first Codex release for the new edition of Warhammer 40,000. This comprehensive guide is your gateway to immersive lore, breathtaking miniature showcases, and the essential rules you need to command your extragalactic alien horde.
Replacing the introductory Index of the new edition, this Codex not only provides familiar content but also expands your army possibilities with fresh Detachments and updated datasheets. Let’s dive into the dynamic Detachments and their unique benefits that the Tyranids offer, unveiling vital information on how these Detachments function.
Introducing Tyranid Detachments
The Codex: Tyranids introduces a range of Detachments that grant your army distinctive advantages. Each Detachment features a dedicated rule, four Enhancements, and six Stratagems. While certain factions may experience slight changes between the Index and Codex Detachments, the Invasion Fleet Detachment remains unchanged.
Crusher Stampede Detachment
For enthusiasts of colossal bio-monsters, the Crusher Stampede Detachment is a treat. Boosting your large creatures’ resilience as they endure damage, this Detachment is perfect for making your MONSTERS and VEHICLES more robust in the new edition’s enhanced durability.
Vanguard Onslaught Detachment
Alternatively, if subtlety is your strategy, the Vanguard Onslaught Detachment is your go-to choice. Sneak in formidable units like Lictors, Neurolictors, and Deathleapers behind enemy lines, specializing in swift and targeted enemy unit elimination. This Detachment also includes flying creatures, Broodlords, and Genestealers for added versatility.
Customize Your Strategy
Each Detachment offers a distinct twist to your tactics, and the best part is that they’re not tied to specific hive fleets. This allows you to switch Detachments freely, tailoring your approach as needed. Whether you flood the board with an Unending Swarm of infantry, build a devouring Assimilation Swarm centered around fierce Haruspexes, or harness the formidable power of the Hive Mind through a Synaptic Nexus, the choice is yours.
