THE SHORT VERSION

James Ashbey advises taking the Orruks into fights to trigger their inspiration, while scoring early objectives to purchase the upgrades that make them dangerous. Extra wounds and survival ploys compensate for limited defence, and forced movement or follow-up attacks can bring enemies within reach of a warband that otherwise struggles to chase them.

March of the Sepulchral Guard

Alex Tuxford recommends protecting the Sepulchral Warden rather than risking the fighter who can return fallen skeletons to play. Seven models and only four activations demand careful planning; movement ploys, surrounding enemies and displacing opposing fighters help overcome the warband’s slow speed while upgraded warriors retain their value after resurrection.

Tactica: Tyranids

A two-sided matchup table explains both how to use Tyranids against particular enemies and how those opponents can respond. Its recurring principles are to match the right organisms to their prey, disrupt vulnerable shooters and psychic support, and concentrate damage where enemy recovery or powerful retaliation would otherwise undo the attack.

There Must Be a Whole Nest of Them!

The Genestealer discussion links weapon and head choices to renewed battlefield options and draws attention to the small scenery components in the kit. Infestation nodes can provide alternative places to deploy, but enemy proximity can remove them, making their placement and protection part of using a fast, dangerous assault brood effectively.
