So if true, we’re seeing twenty-six new Stratagems in the new Tyranids codex, according to this latest rumor. Lots of fast moving options, add more units for CP’s, and others that allow you to attack a second time.
The Tyranids are really looking like a force to be reckoned with, and an army that just won’t go away. These new Stratagems are extremely aggressive options and we can’t wait to find out more. But, once again, these are just rumors, we don’t know anything for sure yet.
Make sure you’re checking back in for more rules teasers, we’ll be putting them out as soon as we get them,
