Member Back to Top Post by rpricew on **EDITED: 11/17/2017 - Added Brainleech & Monstrous Rending Claws, Updated points of x2 MRC Flyrant. Also, added HVC & STC with a few options. Also added Toughness 1-3 & T8 Comparison.



Did a little Excel Mathammer on the new Hive Tyrant and some of the options.



I sorted the T4-T8 comparison charts using the 3+ Armor Save followed by the 2+ Armor Save. The T1-3 Chart is sorted by 6+, 5+, 4+, ...



Pay attention to the other save categories when comparing the load outs.



I calculated all of the D3 options as 2 Dmg or 2 Shots and the STC is using average of 3.5 shots.



Also took into account the Flyrant shooting and then assaulting the same unit. One Single Shooting Phase and a Single Combat Phase. Full Health / No Degradation.



All of the Flyrants in this example have Wings and Adrenal Glands.

Member Back to Top Post by rpricew on I just wanted to comment on what I'm seeing with the Hive Tyrant. All of the comparison that I've done in the OP are to see what is the most efficient load out for the Hive Tyrant in different conditions vs. different targets. I plan on doing "Less than T4" and "Greater than T7" sometime soon.



However, as good as they are compared to each other, there are lots of other units that are far more deadly than the Flyrant. I'm working on an overall spreadsheet of the Tyranid units. But that's going to take a lot longer to finish.



By a long shot, Toxic Stealers, with BL support and >10 Models are the most efficient thing in the army at killing almost everything. Very little is even close. The Stone Crusher Fex is 2nd vs Vehicles.



Stay tuned, more to come! I'm going to try and add in the HVC, STC and a few missing options into the Hive Tyrant sheets next.
