The chittering, skittering, clicking sound you can hear is the rage of the Swarm coming to feast upon you for neglecting them ;)



Though in all seriousness great to see more content for the game :)

The Patch notes state the following: "New Content (Free) - New unit: Tyrannocyte (Tyranids) [Tier 2—Unlocked with Brood Haunt] - Monstrous creature that transports units to the front line and supports them by pinning down enemy units." The downside is that the Carnifex now has to be unlocked through its own research option at tier 3.

Truly this is a glory filled moment for all things WARHAMMER 40,000.

Thank you for making it happen and congratulations on its magnificent manifestation

Ohh I missed that - clearly the chittering is thus the swarm coming to give hugs


Granted that when your arms are blades hugs will also result in death; but its the thought that counts

You completely missed the mark with the Whirlwinds - they are useless, nothing but an expensive decoy unit imo. Even with multiple whirlwinds standing together they seem completely useless compared to every other unit available for the Space Marines.

Haven't played with it yet but looking at the xml it I am not sure I would like it either.

If I start playing with it probably change it to something like this (if possible):
-Pinning at range one is a bit dump for an artillery unit. Probably change it to range 2-4 with fear 1 or 2
-max range + 1 for the weapons
-min range + 1 for weapons
-on hit apply pinning

I agree with this. They need a strong buff.

Agreed. They really need a damage buff and a most of all, increase in range. Having the same range as the Thunderfire Cannon makes no sense. Its artillery.

Especially since the Hunter also exists in the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tier and is 5 to 10 times better against all targets, although it says it's specifically an AA tank, but it does so much more damage vs. infantry, tanks and buildings than the WW ... the Whirlwind is a very odd unit, for which I haven't found any use yet.

NIce, but when start the Hospitals to heal their Units??

I want the Manta for the Tau.
