THE CARNIFEX IN WARHAMMER 40000
The Carnifex is the most famous of all of the Tyranids but, strangely, not just in the lore, but also in the game itself.
The Terror of the Carnifex has led to a known tactic being dubbed the use of a ‘distractifex’. I explain exactly what this is, along with the actual setting lore for the horror.

SCREAMER KILLER still best gw model!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P
The problem with Tyrannid content. There's no emotion, there's no thrill. They win, meh, they lose, meh.
They make a good heel, but as main character are a yawn.
Good fodder and kindling for flamers though.
I love using fexes in 9th! Especially because I can deep strike 6 of them for 2 CP!
Thank you for this video
Love his take on gamesmanship
A nice treat for the break. Thanks for the great video.
I figured I should at least start painting my screamer killer while watching this. Great video.
this video does such an amazing job illustrating how the tyranids wage war. Keep up the good work 😀
Deep belly laughs always
Deny the catspaw. A good strategy.
It would be most excellent if they made you a voice actor for the series!!
I didn't think that at the end of a super interesting video about Carnifex I would also get a valuable lesson for the game! I play Aeldari myself, the proud and resilient people of Iyanden. I really like the idea of putting a unit of 10 Wraithblades with shields in front of my cheeky and confident rival, a T'au player! The thought of him wasting all his, oh so highly praised, firepower into the wraiths while my aspect warriors dismantle the gears of his war machine…. Glorious!
Fun achieved!
Can't mention Carnifex without mentioning the 4th edition Tyranid codex which let you run 6 of them at once.
I cannot number the computer games and tabletop RP, where I have tried Distractifex tactics in one form or another. If I'll ever get back to tabletop 40k, I will build an army around Old One Eye and retinue of Carnifexes!
"Nay, Nay, Thrice Nay!"
The little Servitor scanned some classical diologue while working on that Mythology channel..

Comments for the Algorithm!
What I love about Tyranids are their takes on the typical units in an army. The Carnifex is essentially just the equivalent of a Lehman Russ tank, adaptable, effective but they feel so different because they still are Tyranids, they need to be monsters in melee. In essence having a melee battle tank is just so Tyranids
The DoW2 carnifex was so underpowered 😢
Balders Big Bugs videos are the best
Tyranids are the only thing that make me miss big games. I play mostly HoR these days, and I really love smaller games. I still crack open Space Hulk a few times a year to get nommed by some genestealers. But largely, big 2000+ point games don't appeal; I'd rather play a couple of smaller games back-to-back than one large one.
But if someone in my group had a big Tyranid swarm, I think that might change. I'd really like to face down a numberless swarm with a few big carnifexes in it, especially when we finish brewing our own codex updates. I'm not sure I want to paint that many models, though.
21:52 the legend of sanguinius at the final instance of the horus heresey lol
Baldermort speaks a universe into existence with every word he speaks. Art at it's finest is 🧐
21:09 Wise advice indeed. Both in WH and in REAL life. I love it when I’ve been tricked in games because it’s funny and a learning opportunity at the same time. 👍🏼
Noice 👍
Love this Video my Brother Keep going !!
Lol…….
U're Grand narration is always a treasure. Offering a measure of reality in a realm of fantasy………. choice! Many thanx my friend 😉
Baldermort Guides!
<Laughs in Broadside>
A pleasure to see you again dear Baldermort.
Despite being a Tau player, I love creating whacky things for my friend's Ork army and one of my favorites was an all melee Looted-Carnifex. It had sentinel legs and two of its arms were from an Ork dread (amongst other crude and nutty cyber/biomechanic additions).
Then it got stolen by his roommate's crazy ex gf. 😩
I never was interested in Warhammer. I just started watching these to pass the time. But I have to say these videos are really entertaining. Much better than the story about how cpt. Picard blew up the tardis in his x-wing. In order to stop the evil Cylon empire.
🔥🖤🔥
an interesting topic point, how many other models have great in lore and on table lore like the fexs?
So what your saying is, it’s not someone you want to meet in a dark alley on a cold October night.
