        I dunno. I hear that one of the best anti-Tyranid tactics is
to force them to field their Hormagaunts WYSIWYG (or was that
Termagents). This says to me that something is wrong. The only
reason most Tyranid players don't swamp the board with these 6 point
units is because they come 2 to a blister and cost a lot.
        IIRC, they're a lot like an IG Guardsman, except they move
over twice as fast and cost 1/2 as much. The ultimate screening
troop...
