Saying Goodbye to Old Tyranids
Today is time to say goodbye. We’ve all had our fun with the bugs over this last codex. Today is their last day. Time to take a look back:
First lets take a step back and enjoy some old Tyranid battle reports – including our 4th Edition Tyranids vs 5th Edition Tyranids batrep and the first batrep we ever did with Nids from 5 years ago!
And here’s a blast from the past dated December 27th, 2009 – when the last codex shipped. What bugs were you playing then?
Lots of reports coming in from overseas of 1st hand views of the codex at long last:
