As the thread suggests I'm starting my second army and I'm not sure which it should be tyranids or chaos I have a tormagaunt squad and carnifex i but I can sell these if I choose chaos and I also have dark angels so I could buy the starter set, but I really like the nids so in really not sure
Please give your inpute
#1 tyranids
#2 chaos marine

I personally would play a fallen DA army on the chaos codex but its your choice

[DusteirTax]

i would do that but i want two armies

[Draco Ny'ade]

No, I mean you run a DA army and a fallen themed chaos army

[Doomdrinker1]

Well I have both and I would say
1 Tyranids can be run a couple of ways you can go for a swarm list which allow works very well it takes awhile to work you wont win games until you have a full swarm with 100's of gaunt's and several synapse creatures and even then it will be kind of easy to beat. Alternatively you could run a NidZilla list (which is really really fun) but it is your choice (if you decide which one you want I can give more advise.
2 Don't play chaos, unless you just want a themed army they play just like your regular space marines with a tiny bit more emphasis on melee.

Since this is only your second army (I think) you will probably have a better experience playing and collecting Nids as it is something completely different that space marines.

Before starting your Nid army wait, because their new codex is coming out November. Chaos really aren't good anymore unless you take two of their Heldrakes. The saddening thing is you use to see a lot of chaos armies but now you barely see any. These are just my inputs for you.

Wait what happened to chaos (I haven't been to GW in over a year) but surely there codex is awesome?


I sill weep for the loss of my beautiful "gift of chaos"

[Draco Ny'ade]

I regularly play a chaos army and we are running 50/50 on games at the moment

[DusteirTax]

I think I may go with tau after all this  
Gotta see the nids new codex first

Like Morentz said, 'Nids are getting a new codex soon. Chaos, despite having a 6th ED book, are actually less than top tier. Helldrakes are very good, but apart from that the book is fairly lacklustre. Psychic powers are bad for them - Tzeench's only has one power really worth taking.

Guys the Tyranids arent out till early next year at least maybe in time for christmas if your lucky, as gw buggered up their releases as they realised they cant re-release blood bowl as they got rid of the specialist games so dark elves have two releases this year. But i would suggest you go for what you like the look of the most.

[Authrix]

To be fair, it's pretty much 6 of half a dozen unless you're going for tourneys. The gap between top and bottom tiers is far closer than they were in 5th. So basically, yeah. Go with what you like. 'Nids are more viable than they were because of the upcoming release, but viability doesn't mean everything. If you want MC spam, Chaos aren't going to satisfy that need.
