Looking for new Tyranids codex for Army builder

Another thing:

It states that giving Hive Tyrants wings will give the HT Deep
strike ability, which is correct. The same is also true for gaunts
and warriors (though not for rippers) so the comment should also be
included for these creatures (in the tyWings option).

BTW: I have now made a AB file that have corrected the errors
reported until now, though I will let Colen get a chance to update
his version - after all it is 99% his work.

I had misread the description slightly; I was making two invalid assumptions:

1) You only counted the number of creatures in the brood - there are never
going to be 4 or more tyrant guard or whatever in a brood, after all, and
2) The mutant option only applies to broods.

I'm still a bit hazy on the second one. The text says something like:

"X models in the brood are required. If the brood has multiple wounds,
count them instead of models."

The way I first read this, I thought that only *broods* can get the
mutations - i.e., no hive tyrants or carnifi. But each of these has a
section saying "Brood: 1 model" or similar.

Any ideas?

Whatever you're trying to say here, it doesn't make sense

Tyrant guard can indeed be attached to Hive Tyrants, and the ab files model
this. However, the Hive Tyrant mutant entry doesn't say this, so mutant
hive tyrants don't get it.

No they aren't. Warp Blasts cost 20 for normal bods, 25 for Zoanthropes, in
my codex.

>4: Tyranid warriors can also be HQ's, not only Elite.

Pay attention, 007 There's an option to change them to HQ.

>5: Leaping ripperswarms are still troops, not Fast Attack (though

See my other post on the whole 'mutant composition group' debacle.

>6: The unique ID of rippers should be tyRipper, not tyRupper.

shut up

Dangit.

I forgot to make them display in the printout

Check the summary table on page 36 INCOMPETENCE = MAXIMUM

Anyone got any ideas as to whether to pay attention to the table, or the
text in the individual species rules? I'm probably going to say to hell
with the table, but someone might have some ideas...
