Now, it’s a generally accepted fact of life that genestealers aren’t all they’re cracked up to be these days, but during the dark ages, genestealers had power weapons. Until late 2001, this was all you got.īack then, you had a grand total of one build at your disposal: stealershock. Let me put my chef’s hat on, and I’ll serve some waffles.ģrd edition tyranids started out as a handful of very bland pages in the huge rulebook. “What the hell!? I read VT2 because I wanna see waffling! Don’t tease me like this!” Fine. Pray for victory against experienced opponents.ĥth edition tyranids: is an actual 5th edition army, with all that entails.
