TACTICS·WHITE DWARF 307

Leading the Swarm

July 2005·pp. 56–61

THE SHORT VERSION

Marshall Jansen organizes Tyranid strategy around numbers, focused roles, repeated useful brood types and reliable Synapse. He compares horde, fast-assault, elite, monster-heavy and shooting armies, stressing what each gives up as well as gains. Practical deployment and board-control advice explains overlapping Synapse, sensible use of reserves and timing assaults to remain protected during the enemy turn. Biomorph spending is judged against the extra bodies and scoring broods it would otherwise buy.
