Thinking I might go with Tiamet, confusing my friends with a “Neutral” Tyranid faction sounds fun
Going with a custom fleet myself (Nidhoggr, a splinter fleet of Jormungandr) with my own colour scheme.
Not really locked to any detachment yet, as I've been doing test games over TableTop Simulator, and my actual physical model collection so far amounts to a Deathleaper, a Hive Tyrant and 3, as of yet unassembled, Warriors.
Gameplay-wise I'm most drawn towards Synaptic Nexus. So I'm thinking a pretty strong focus on brain bugs, maybe some other shooty bugs, and some Gargoyles, Raveners, and maybe a Trygon to back it up. Although with a stealthy contingent as well, numbering the Parasite of Mortrex, Deathleaper and a few various Lictors.
Ideally I want to collect a Synaptic Nexus force, and then from there branch out to also be able to play it as Vanguard Onslaught.
Gorgon and Jormundgandr are my favorites, it’s a shame I hardly ever see Gorgon represented
Because GW borrows so much from the Holy Bible, it is hilarious to know that hive Fleet Behemoth ( a Hebrew word) could literally be translated as high Fleet Cows, or donkeys 😂😂😂
"The biblical text refers to horses, donkeys, oxen, cows, sheep, goats and more as 'be•he•mot,' but, obviously, this is not the case with our word today."
I'd love to see somebody paint the Army in a bovine theme😂😂😂
Huh, teal, almost aquamarine color scheme. Happily attacks its own for mysterious purposes. Hydra motif? This Tyranid Hive Fleet sounds awfully sus…almost like I've heard of something like this before. Ah, it's probably nothing.
Metal grate clatters
"Hydra Dominatus!"
What the fuck?! Why does that gene-stealer look like an Al-?!
Maybe GW is planning to devour the entire galaxy with the Tyranids and destroy the 40k setting, like they did with Warhammer Fantasy and the Old World? Then relaunch with Age of Robute set in some weird chaos realm in the warp.
Why is there no hivefleet ziz?
I'm making my own hive fleet (debating on the name be Luska, Hades, or Asag) and I can't wait to try out some of these fitting detachments! Crushing stampede seems a perfect fit!
Custom Hive Fleet, The Harbingers of Tsara'noga. Biotransferance Tyranids. Painted in Necron colors. Necronids as my friend calls them.
Kronos for me, I love their lire, and I prefer my bugs shooty. Synaptic Nexus with psychic bullshit and big old tank bugs is it for me.
I love the basic Leviathan hive fleet, mostly cause my friend plays blood angels lmao.
This video has helped me figure out part of the reason 10ths rules have felt so lifeless to me. I thought Maybe it was all the universal keywords, witch on the whole are great for ease of access and easily understanding a rule at a a glance,but do come at the cost of flavour.
But it’s also made me realize they decoupled subfactions from any kind of lore context. The subfactions are just the name of the play style. And that really bugs me as it would be really easy to do both. “Hive fleet Kronos, physic dominators” or “Hive fleet hydra, the unending swarm”. Let’s you have both. It’s flavourful and had a subfaction lore behind it, and you have a good idea of what the rules are going to be
Leaning mostly towards Kraken, but will most like ly go with my own. Thinking a poison tip frog paint scheme.
Good to know I've been painting Chronos wrong- picture I saw looked black body and red carapace.
The need to make a hormaguant version of tervigon
Hydra and Kronos have the best color schemes.
I'm going custom, a dark purple xeros skin with muted screamer pink highlights and and mephistron red carapace. Looks very grimdark.
Kinda sad that hive fleets are no longer represented mechanically.
I paint my Nids however I feel like at the moment so they have no overarching theme. 🤷♂️
Invasion Fleet of the mighty Jormungandr for me 🪲🦗🐜
Custom Hive Fleet ( Ragnarök, black w/ yellow highlighted chitin ) looking forward to utilizing Emissary, roided Nyrant, Nicter, and Screamer alongside H-Tyrant and Deathleaper in a Synaptic Detachment. Finally an extra reason to care about battleshock abilities
So can you run a full list of tiamet in 10th if so is there any restricted units to them
Kraken. Allways 😀 Eat those craftworld eldars^^
I hate the approach 'oh you have lots of gaunts so you must play hydra' – ALL hive fleets use hordes of gaunts. This new approach from GW is ideal. Make your fluff yourself and in your head don't rely on GW to make it for you and get bound by it. Space Wolves use lots of tanks and shooty marines just like everyone does, they don't have to go for wulfen and blood claws every single time…
Best lore-fitting detachment? All of them. For all of the hive fleets.
Hive fleet Jormangander for life. Mawlocs and tunneling to infiltrate on all ends.
Behemoth is my favorite color scheme.
i personally like Hive Fleet Eumenides due to the colour scheme, but I've found very little about the hive fleet itself!
I decided on one of the new ones, Lotan. I have no idea if they have any lore in the new codex but i like their colors and the freedom to choose what i want that comes with such a new subfaction.
I think the bright low contrast colour schemes are unflattering for nids. The leftmost two examples are poor paintjobs that are artistic failures although the skills used to produce it are good. I dislike the bright colours used as it's artistic representation does not portray the tyranids as this dark gritty scourge of the universe in my mind. The dark red and torquoisse is alien and gritty and dark and everything I search for in this plague of the universe. You can play all you like with light yellow and bone coloured tyranids, I care nothing for it.
Thank you for this video that combines Tyranid's lore and gameplay for the tabletop.
