Winter Dataslate Singles Tier List - Ep. 65 Dec 15, 2024

Show notes

Welcome back to Episode 64 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite. Grotmas detachments galore and a full MFM/Balance Dataslate update - what a time to be a competitive 40K player! With loads of information to process/analyse, we've spent the last few days gathering our thoughts on every faction to be able to update our Fireside 40K Tier List. We've focussed on high level singles play as our benchmark and made an active effort to split up armies into different tiers (e.g. A & B tier could be in the A tier together, but we've split them up and moved our B tier armies into C tier) representing their relative power to each other rather than a particular WR% band or any other statistical metric. FINAL TIER LIST: https://imgur.com/a/dSEEgR9 Thank you so much to all the members who've joined both the CATACHAN level and are enjoying our members-only detailed content on factions / competitive strategy, and the PHOENIX LORD level who've been discussing ideas and asking questions on the discord.

Hey there everyone,

Walking through a review of the new tyranid detachment!

I've been playing tyranids on-and-off in practice since the last WTC and this detachment got me excited for unboxing my old Tyranid Warriors again :D

*A few minor corrections, the venom cannon goes to s11, and the exocrine goes to s11 also!
