Tactica Tyranids - Mawlocs

Hey guys, my name is Learn2Eel, and today I'm going to be bringing you another article in the Tyranid Tactica series! Mawlocs are vicious predators that stalk foes of the Swarm from beneath the earth using the heart beats of their prey as a guiding light. Unlike the more combat-oriented Trygon, the Mawloc is very much built for disruption and chaos with its colossal maw able to swallow entire squads of infantry as it emerges from beneath their feet. With a huge points drop and a boost in destructive power, the Mawloc is a far superior option than it was prior to the new codex. I hope you enjoy this article!

Short Delay! :(

Hey guys, just thought I would let you know that I've taken ill recently and so I'm going to be a bit late on the Mawloc article. Expect it by Saturday or Sunday at 9pm Australian Eastern Standard Time. My apologies!

Tactica Tyranids - Trygon/Trygon Prime

Hey guys, my name is Learn2Eel, and today I'm going to be bringing you another article in the Tyranid Tactica series! Trygons are gigantic, serpentine creatures that move with a sinuous speed no other Tyranid organism of that size could possibly emulate. Designed less as front-line combatants and more as the natural progression of the Ravener strain, Trygons burrow deep beneath the earth to emerge and devastate central and rear positions in enemy battle lines. They expose the weakest elements of an opposing force, crushing them in a swift stroke of brutal scything. Though not as dominant as their 5th Edition or even 4th Edition incarnations, the new look Trygon is still one heck of a battle monster. I hope you enjoy this article!

As the Prime is essentially an upgrade over a regular Trygon, I will cover it in this article.

Tactica Tyranids - Biovores

Hey guys, my name is Learn2Eel, and today I'm going to be bringing you another article in the Tyranid Tactica series! Biovores are the closest analogy to artillery in the Tyranid army, bombarding enemy positions from afar and out of sight. Their deadly payload is actually a cluster of Spore Mines propelled at ridiculous speeds by various muscle spasms in the Biovore itself. The changes to this mechanic and the Spore Mines themselves serve to make the Biovore a very interesting unit, even before you consider the positive buffs it otherwise received. Though its role in a vehicle-heavy 5th Edition meta was limited, 6th Edition breathed new life into this unit, and the new codex only serves to improve on what was already a great unit in the Heavy Support slot. I hope you enjoy this article!

400,000 Views and a Tiny Break

Hey guys, Learn2Eel here with a little update after the recent Carnifex article. On the day I posted up my Tyranid Fast Attack Summary article, the 16th of March 2014, Imperator Guides officially hit over 400,000 life-time views! This is a monumental achievement for a blog that has only been active since the 3rd of February 2013, and one that I am hugely proud of. Thank you all for your support over this year and a bit, it has been a special journey for me and I hope it has helped you all in your war-gaming needs!

Tactica Tyranids - Carnifexes

Hey guys, my name is Learn2Eel, and today I'm going to be bringing you another article in the Tyranid Tactica series! Carnifexes are the brutish living tanks of the Tyranid Hive Fleets, created to batter down walls and ram through gates with brutal efficiency. As siege monsters, Carnifexes are the bulkiest of the Tyranid monstrous creatures, sacrificing both raw size and agility for incredible strength and a thickly armoured carapace. These are the oldest and most common war engines of the Tyranids, and the famous monsters have finally been restored to their former glory. I hope you enjoy this article!
